v1.1.0

This is a major internal architectural upgrade, migrating the entire codebase from pure JavaScript to TypeScript and fully adopting the modern ES Modules (ESM) specification.

While user-facing functionality remains unchanged, this change significantly improves project stability and maintainability, and optimizes the developer experience.

⚡ Core Enhancements

TypeScript Refactoring: The entire project is now built with TypeScript, providing full static type checking and dramatically reducing runtime errors and potential bugs.

Full Type Definitions: When used as a library, built-in .d.ts type definition files are now provided, offering perfect auto-completion and type hints for TypeScript or JSDoc-enabled JavaScript projects.

Embracing Modern Node.js (ES Modules): The module system has been migrated from CommonJS to ES Modules (ESM), leveraging the latest module resolution and features in Node.js (such as top-level await).

Target Environment Upgrade: The compilation target has been upgraded to ES2022, making the code more modern and maintaining compatibility with Node.js >= 18.7.0.
