4.0.1

4.0.0

3.0.1

• Absent cast() method bug-fix

3.0.0

• Better use of generic methods (no more dynamic).

2.0.0

• Absent and Present are now subclasses of Optional. You should continue to use constructors in Optional, and not the Absent or Present ones.
• EMPTY is now a top-level constant.

1.2.0

• Operators are now overloaded, so you can add, subtract, etc., Optionals. Any operation involving an empty Optional will return an empty Optional.
• Added examples.

• Optional.ofNullable() and Optional.empty() constructors are now const.
• Optional.of() constructor now throws ArgumentError when passed null, instead of NoValuePresentError.
• NoValuePresentError now extends StateError.
