v0.1.0 - Gemini-style "Sticky Top" Scrolling & Progressive Disclosure UX

🚀 New Features

• "Push and Pin" Scrolling Physics: Implements a custom, optimistic layout anchor system. When you send a message, the view smoothly anchors the message and pushes it upward as the AI response streams in, finally pinning it gracefully to the top of the screen.
• Progressive Disclosure APIs: Introduces new environment modifiers that let you inject custom views without cluttering initializers:
  • .messageActions: Inject custom toolbars (Thumbs Up/Down, Copy) below AI messages.
  • .conversationDisclaimer: Inject custom privacy text below the most recent AI message.
• Interruptible Generation: Tracks execution state within MessageComposerView. While a generation task runs, the composer transforms the "Send" button into an active "Stop" button that supports cooperative task cancellation.

💄 UI Improvements

• Distinct Chat Bubbles: Updates the user message bubble to use an UnevenRoundedRectangle, giving it a distinct "tail" effect. The library now renders AI messages directly into the view without a background bubble.
• Smart Loading State: Automatically renders a bouncing-dot TypingIndicator if you temporarily add an AI message with content == nil.
• High-Contrast Disabled State: Relies strictly on native platform styling for the empty composer "Send" button, ensuring high-contrast accessibility in both Light and Dark modes.
• Proportional Stop Icon: Scales the font size of the stop.fill icon to perfectly balance its visual weight against the default send arrow.

⚙️ Other Changes

• Comprehensive Architecture Documentation: Adds a new ARCHITECTURE.md file that explains the deep SwiftUI Scroll Physics & Concurrency design decisions.
• Concurrency Fixes: Eliminates 1-frame micro-delay layout bugs associated with Swift 6 Concurrency by utilizing a local optimisticUserMessage state to guarantee perfect keyboard-dismissal anchoring.

v0.0.2 - Modernized, More Extensible, and Ready for the Future

This release marks a major milestone for ConversationKit, introducing a more flexible and extensible architecture, along with a host of new features and improvements.

🚀 New Features

• Modernized Data Layer: We've refactored the Message model to a protocol-based approach. This allows you to use your own custom message types, providing greater flexibility and better integration with your existing data models.
• Robust Error Handling: We've introduced a new error handling mechanism that allows you to attach errors to messages and display them in the UI. A new .onError(perform:) view modifier makes it easy to catch and present these errors.
• Attachment Actions: You can now add custom actions to attachments, enabling you to build more interactive and engaging chat experiences.
• Image Support: ConversationKit now supports sending and receiving images, making your conversations more expressive.
• New Demo App: We've added a new demo app that showcases how to integrate ConversationKit with AI services like Firebase AI and Foundation Models.

💄 UI Improvements

• iOS 18 UI Improvements: We've made a number of UI improvements to ensure that ConversationKit looks and feels great on the latest version of iOS.
• "Add" Button Fix: We've fixed an issue where the "add" button was not sized correctly on iOS 26.

⚙️ Other Changes

• Reduced Deployment Target: We've reduced the minimum deployment target to iOS/macCatalyst 17+, making it easier to integrate ConversationKit into your existing projects.
• Code Cleanup: We've performed a major code cleanup, making the codebase easier to read and maintain.
• Improved Documentation: We've added a comprehensive README that provides detailed information on how to use and customize ConversationKit.
