## 2025-07-27 - 3.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(core)
Major architectural refactoring with fetch-like API

**Breaking Changes:**
- Legacy API functions are now imported from `@push.rocks/smartrequest/legacy` instead of the main export
- Modern API response objects now use fetch-like methods (`.json()`, `.text()`, `.arrayBuffer()`, `.stream()`) instead of direct `.body` access
- Renamed `responseType()` method to `accept()` in modern API
- Removed automatic defaults:
  - No default keepAlive (must be explicitly set)
  - No default timeouts
  - No automatic JSON parsing in core
- Complete internal architecture refactoring:
  - Core module now always returns raw streams
  - Response parsing happens in SmartResponse methods
  - Legacy API is now just an adapter over the core module

**Features:**
- New fetch-like response API with single-use body consumption
- Better TypeScript support and type safety
- Cleaner separation of concerns between request and response
- More predictable behavior aligned with fetch API standards

**Documentation:**
- Updated all examples to show correct import paths
- Added comprehensive examples for the new response API
- Enhanced migration guide
