1.1.0

This release marks a major chat architecture overhaul based on a community feedback. In the future we don't expect such big changes in one release and will try to do backwards compatible code as much as possible.

Breaking changes:

• BREAKING CHANGE: [FileMessage] fileName is renamed to name
• BREAKING CHANGE: [ImageMessage] imageName is renamed to name
• BREAKING CHANGE: [Messages] authorId is replaced with author to support avatars and names inside the chat
• BREAKING CHANGE: [Messages] timestamp is renamed to createdAt. All timestamps are in ms now.
• BREAKING CHANGE: [Status] read is renamed to seen
• BREAKING CHANGE: [User] avatarUrl is renamed to imageUrl
• New custom and unsupported message types. First one is used to build any message you want, second one is to support backwards compatibility

New features:

• Ability to display user name & avatar, showUserAvatars and showUserNames
• Automatic messages animation
• Pagination, onEndReached (use this function to load more items, should be async to correctly show loading indicator), onEndReachedThreshold (value between 0 and 1, where 1 indicates that loading should start when all previous items are visible and 0.5 indicates half of items are visible, defaults to 0.75), isLastPage (if true loading indicator will not be shown)
• buildCustomMessage to build anything you want. Can be improved to modify bubble, PRs are open :)
• Time is moved to headers
• Theme with more customizations

Theme migration guide:

• attachmentButtonIcon, deliveredIcon, documentIcon, errorIcon, seenIcon, sendButtonIcon type change String -> Widget
• body1 replaced with emptyChatPlaceholderTextStyle, inputTextStyle, receivedMessageBodyTextStyle, sentMessageBodyTextStyle
• body2 replaced with receivedMessageLinkDescriptionTextStyle, sentMessageLinkDescriptionTextStyle
