v6.0.0

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES ⚠️ - Please review our v6 implementation guide prior to upgrading.

With this release, we've completely refactored how we share data in the component library. We've segmented our former ChannelContext into the following four sub-contexts:

• ChannelActionContext - provides the functions needed to operate a Channel
• ChannelStateContext - provides the stateful data needed to operate a Channel
• ComponentContext - provides the UI component overrides for all child components of a Channel
• TypingContext - provides an object of users currently typing in the Channel

NOTE: The ChannelContext no longer exists, so all old references to useChannelContext() or useContext(ChannelContext) need to be replaced with the relevant context above. A list of all data found within each new context can be found here.
