v5.0.0-beta.2

New

• Added device and routing metadata (deviceId, sender, receiver, receiverType) to socket events, enabling accurate message routing and preventing duplicate event handling.
• Introduced a native Dart stream for typing indicators via RealtimeRepository.typingStream, improving performance and reliability. The onTypingIndicator() method now returns Stream<TypingIndicator>.
• Expanded the ReactionData model to include additional metadata (id, messageId, uid) for more complete reaction tracking.
• Standardized ReactionActionEvent action constants to align with the Android SDK (message_reaction_added, message_reaction_removed).
• Updated message event processing to use a DTO-to-mapper pipeline, ensuring consistent parsing with API responses.
• Added a platform-compatible isolate abstraction (runInIsolate()), improving support for web environments.
• Improved action message text formatting to ensure consistency across platforms (e.g., "Message Edited").

Enhancements

• Simplified package configuration by removing platform-specific plugin settings (Android/iOS) from pubspec.yaml.

Fixes

• Resolved an issue where deviceId was not parsed in most socket events, which prevented proper echo filtering for typing indicators, receipts, presence, and reactions.
• Fixed an issue where users could see their own typing indicators in group chats.
• Corrected rawData handling in MessageMapper to store the complete JSON payload instead of only the action string.

Enhancements

• Enhanced typing indicator support to work consistently across all supported platforms, including Web.
