2.0.0

StreamChat 2.0 here and it's brand new ✨ 🚀

We've added/removed/fixed/changed a lot of stuff, so it's fair to say that StreamChat 2.0 is everything you've liked about 1.x and nothing you didn't like about it 😄

Most importantly:

• We have a brand new framework: StreamChatClient, that you can use to easily integrate StreamChat into your app without any Presenter or UI logic we have in StreamChatCore and StreamChat libraries.
  • StreamChatClient has minimal dependencies and it's very low level.
  • No Reactive dependencies! Everything is handled in good old callbacks.
  • No reactive makes you sad? StreamChatCore still has all the reactive functionality you'd expect, so you can keep using RxSwift if you want!
• We've updated our dependencies, and removed some.

Aside from those, we fixed tons of bugs and polished our API. Now it should be more Swifty 🎉
We're working hard on migration guide for our 1.x users and will publish it shortly.
