0.10.0-beta01

🎉 FileKit v0.10 is now available in beta!

FileKit v0.10 is a full rewrite of the library. It focuses on improving the developer experience by facilitating tasks related to files operations in Kotlin Multiplatform projects.

• Improve PlatformFile abstraction to make development easier for common files-related tasks
• Support for kotlinx-io to easily read, write, stream files and more from the common code
• Access common paths like application filesDir and cacheDir from common code
• It's now easier than ever to store and read files in the app storage!
• Capture photos with the native camera app and return the associated file on Android and iOS
• Save images to the native gallery on Android and iOS
• Add helpers to display images from PlatformFile on Compose Multiplatform using Coil3
• A brand new website for the documentation
• And more!
