1.6.15 #

Last release of v1 and v2 is replacing it on main branch soon.
Updated markdown matchers to be bold (double asterisk), italic (double underscore), ~~linethrough~~ (double tilde) and code (single backtick).
Removed PopScope since new api requires Flutter v3.22 and I want to still support older versions. Let me know if it introduces breaking behaviour.
Added support for AssetImage (uri starts with assets/). Thanks @thomers for the PR!

1.6.14 #

While v2 is still in the works (unexpected blockers, see GitHub for progress) releasing a small patch update with improvements.
Added optional scroll preferPosition to scrollController.scrollToIndex. Thanks @chdo002 for the PR!

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
