Release v1.0.2: API Fetch Optimization and Interface Compatibility Fix

We are excited to present version v1.0.2 of our project! This release comes with important improvements and a critical bug fix that enhance the efficiency and reliability of our system.

Here's what's new in v1.0.2:

1. Single HTTP Request for Data Fetching: We've optimized our API fetch method to retrieve both the data and the content type in a single HTTP request instead of two. This not only speeds up the process but also reduces server load, making our application more efficient and resilient.

2. Interface Compatibility Issue Resolved: We have fixed a major bug related to the return type of the fetch method in our APIService class and APIServiceInterface. The consistency between the interface and its implementation has been ensured, thus eliminating the PHP error that was previously caused by this discrepancy.

The updates in v1.0.2 make our application more reliable and high-performing. We value your feedback, so please don't hesitate to reach out with any comments, questions, or concerns. We hope you enjoy this new and improved version of our project!
