5.0.0

Note: This package no longer supports 32-bit architectures. It assumes 64-bit.

[BREAKING CHANGE] Experimental WinRT APIs are now removed, in favor of the new windows_* packages (see https://win32.pub for more information) 🎉

[BREAKING CHANGE] Finalizer is now attached to COM objects. Therefore, you no longer need to call .release() to decrement the reference count, because Finalizer will do it for you when they go out of scope (#691).

Note: Calling .release() with Finalizer attached may result in use after free and cause the process to crash

Note: If you're manually managing the lifetime of the object, you need to call .release() to decrement the reference count

Add Windows metadata interfaces (IMetaData*)

Fixed memory leak in convertToHString

Upgrade to Dart 3 and add class modifiers to Struct subclasses

Added detach method to IUnknown, which detaches the object from Finalizer if you want to manually manage the lifetime of the object yourself (#677)
