• ADJUSTMENT: More IME behaviors added to IME simulator.
• DEPRECATION: IME simulator no longer requires explicit finders or getters to locate the DeltaTextInputClient for the active editor or text field. We now hijack Flutter's TextInputControl to find the TextInputClient and send the deltas there.

• FEATURE: WidgetTester extensions for device configurations, e.g., tester.asIPhone16ProMax().
• ADJUSTMENT: Added 60+ new keyboard shortcut simulations.
• BREAKING: Updated min Flutter version from 1.17.0 to 3.10.0.

September, 2023

Additions and adjustments to work around Flutter's test key simulation

• pressKey, pressKeyDown, releaseKeyUp, repeatKey wraps standard Flutter key simulations to prevent platform mismatches across key presses.
• Don't use "ios" platform when simulating keyboard content typing because Flutter has a bug with generating key events for characters, specifically when simulating platform "ios".
