chat_package 2.1.0

A fully functional, customizable Flutter chat UI for sending text, voice notes, images, in-app camera photos and video messages.

2.1.0

Major modernization, new features and bug fixes.

• Upgraded to Dart >= 3.0 / Flutter >= 3.16 and the latest major versions of all dependencies (permission_handler, image_picker, just_audio, record, intl, camera, video_player, provider, photo_view, stop_watch_timer).
• Removed the Freezed dependency: MediaType is now a plain enum (MediaType.image / .audio / .video).
• New: in-app camera now captures photos and videos and returns them into the chat with an optional caption.
• New: video messages render as a tappable thumbnail with full-screen playback (handleVideoSelect callback).
• New customization: textDirection, containerBorderRadius, buttonRadius, message width fractions, camera resolution, audio bit rate and image quality.
• Fixed: gallery used the camera permission instead of the photo permission.
• Fixed: leaked AudioPlayer, stream subscriptions and the recording timer; added dispose/mounted guards across async flows.
• Fixed: textEditingController is now actually used; removed the broken TextTheme.bodyText1 usage and deprecated withOpacity calls.
• Removed dead/stub UI from the camera preview and added analysis_options.yaml (passes flutter analyze with no issues).

Breaking: see the migration guide in the README.
