v0.0.5

Added

• ApplicationContext Module: Complete application context management system

  • ApplicationContext and ApplicationContextBuilder for unified application lifecycle management
  • Event-driven context initialization with ContextInitializingEvent and ContextInitializedEvent
  • Configuration change events with ConfigurationChangedEvent
  • Context-aware event listeners supporting dependency injection during event handling

• Auto-Configuration System: Automatic configuration loading and component assembly

  • #[derive(Configuration)] macro for automatic configuration struct registration
  • Multi-format configuration file support (YAML, TOML, Properties)
  • Hierarchical configuration resolution with precedence rules
  • Configuration hot-reloading capabilities

• Default Value Support: Flexible default value mechanisms

  • #[config_default(value)] attribute for literal default values
  • #[config_default_t(expression)] attribute for expression-based defaults
  • Support for complex default value calculations at compile time

• Enhanced Event System: Comprehensive event broadcasting infrastructure

  • Regular event listeners (EventListener<T>)
  • Context-aware event listeners (ContextAwareEventListener<T>)
  • Event publisher with type-safe event handling
  • Built-in lifecycle events for application context management

• Configuration Management: Advanced configuration handling capabilities

  • ConfigManager with caching and invalidation support
  • Multiple configuration source support with precedence
  • Runtime configuration updates via set_config()
  • Environment variable integration

Enhanced

• IoC Container Integration: Seamless integration between IoC container and application context

  • Components can now be accessed through both container and context
  • Automatic component registration during context initialization
  • Enhanced dependency resolution with configuration support

• Component Factory System: Improved component discovery and registration

  • Automatic discovery of Configuration components
  • Integration with inventory crate for compile-time registration
  • Enhanced component lifecycle management

Technical Improvements
