Release Notes v0.8.0

Major Features

Printer State Monitoring & Events

• Added real-time printer state monitoring with event subscriptions
• Subscribe to printer connection, disconnection, state changes, and error conditions
• New functions: subscribeToPrinterStateChanges(), startPrinterStateMonitoring(), getPrinterStateSnapshots()

Enhanced Documentation

• Reorganized documentation into feature-specific guides in /docs directory
• New guides: PrinterStateMonitoring.md, JobTracking.md, PrintingOptions.md, CrossRuntimeSupport.md
• Streamlined README with links to detailed feature documentation
• Added GEMINI.md for Gemini AI agents

Improvements

TypeScript Type Safety

• Added PrinterState union type for compile-time state validation
• All state-related interfaces now use PrinterState instead of string
• Better IDE autocomplete and type checking
• Enhanced toString() method: outputs "Printer Name (default) [state]"

Testing

• Added /media directory with real test files (PDF, text, JPEG, PNG, DOCX)
• Improved test coverage and reliability across all runtimes

Dependencies

• Updated napi from 3.3.0 to 3.4.0
• Updated napi-build from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4
• Updated napi-derive from 3.2.5 to 3.3.0
• Updated rust-toolchain from 1.89 to 1.90

• Migrated to official Task setup action
• Updated macOS runners for compatibility
• Improved CI reporting and LCOV coverage

Bug Fixes

Windows Compatibility

• Cleaned up NativePrinter interface to accurately represent Rust FFI boundary
• Fixed property exposure - all NativePrinter properties now correctly required

Breaking Changes

None - all changes are backward compatible. Existing code continues to work unchanged.

🎯 Major Feature: Enhanced Job Tracking

Comprehensive Job Management Aligned with Upstream printers Crate

• Enhanced Job Structure: Updated PrinterJob interface with comprehensive metadata including timestamps, media types, and error tracking
• Job State Management: Added PrinterJobState enum with states: PENDING, PAUSED, PROCESSING, CANCELLED, COMPLETED, UNKNOWN
• Advanced Timestamps: Multi-timestamp tracking with createdAt, processedAt, and completedAt fields
• Media Type Detection: Automatic file type detection based on extensions (PDF, PostScript, images, text, etc.)
• Job History API: New methods for querying active jobs (getActiveJobs()) and job history (getJobHistory())

🔧 Technical Improvements

• 64-bit Job IDs: Upgraded from 32-bit to 64-bit job identifiers for better scalability
• CamelCase API: All exposed fields now use JavaScript-standard camelCase naming
• Cross-Runtime Compatibility: Full support maintained across Deno, Node.js, and Bun
• Backward Compatibility: Legacy JobStatus interface preserved for existing code

📊 Enhanced Testing

• Comprehensive Test Coverage: New test suites for job tracking, media type detection, and state management
