🚨 Minor Breaking Changes

Although we don't usually ship breaking changes in minor releases, in some cases where they are minimal and important, we have to do them to keep improving the SDK long-term. Either way, these changes are for advanced customizations which won't affect most of the customers.

• The ImageCDN protocol has some minor breaking changes that were needed to support the new Stream CDN v2 and to make it more scalable in the future.
  • urlRequest(forImage:) -> urlRequest(forImageUrl:resize:).
  • cachingKey(forImage:) -> cachingKey(forImageUrl:).
  • Removed thumbnail(originalURL:preferreSize:). This is now handled by urlRequest(forImageUrl:resize:) as well. If your CDN does not support resizing, you can ignore the resize parameter.
