This release includes many iOS 11 and iPhone X hot fixes.

Features:

• Allowed color customization in typing indicator. By @dskatz22 (#613)
• Added support for an optional view to host outlets under the text view. By @dzenbot (#562)
• Exposed auto-completion variables. By @dzenbot (#561)

Hot Fixes & Enhancements:

• Fixed the text input not being interactive on iOS 11. By @dzenbot (#624)
• Fixed iPhone X issue where the text input bar wouldn't expand to the bottom of the screen, below the home indicator. (#619)
• Fixed scroll view content inset adjustments on iOS 11. By @gim- (#643)
• Fixed compiler error in example app. By @BasThomas (#629)
• Fixed content offset for keyboard when uninverted. By @ZAndyL (#542)

Deprecation:

• Deprecated -shouldProcessTextForAutoCompletion: in favor of -shouldProcessTextForAutoCompletion

CI:

• Building the SlackTextViewController framework and running basic tests using BuddyBuild CI, against all PRs. By @dzenbot (#640)

Features:

• Migrated the library to be using NSAttributedString underneath. The text property on SLKTextView uses a NSAttributedString representation based on its font and text color, and doesn't forward to super. By @jacywu07 (#501)
• As part of the migration to NSAttributedString, new helpers for attributed strings have been added to SLKTextView+SLKAdditions.
• Introduced a new API to end users to open the auto-completion mode with a given prefix. By @jacywu07 (#506)
• Exposed the private cacheTextView method. By @acandelaria1 (#513)

Hot Fixes & Enhancements:

• Updated the sample project to Swift 3! By @cyhsutw (#522)
• Added a property to allow the user to set how many lines of text SLKTextView's placeholder should have. By @jedmund (#505)
• Tweaked keyboard height calculations on invert mode. By @ZAndyL (#512)

Hot Fixes & Enhancements:

• Fixes keyboard status updates inconsistencies, causing sometimes the text input bar not to follow the keyboard.
• Fixed bottom margin inconsistencies. Thanks @yury! 💪
• Fixed an edge case where the caret would jump to the end after double-space completion in middle of text. Thanks @mtackes
• Improved Carthage support

Hot Fixes & Enhancements:

• Fixes a regression causing to trigger auto-completion text processing even if no prefix have been registered. This was causing a crash to many. Sorry about that!
• Ignores keyboard notifications when no valid first responder is detected. This fixes the text input not following the keyboard at times.
• Now shouldProcessTextForAutoCompletion: requires calling super.

SlackTextViewController is now MIT licensed!

Features & Enhancements:

• Better Swift 2.2 support with nullability annotations and shiny new Swift sample code. You rock @weijentu 🙇
• Introduced SLKTextInput protocol: A UITextInput extension to decouple all the text processing features related to auto-completion, to reuse in any text component such as UISearchBar, UITextField, UITextView, etc.
• Added a new API -shouldProcessTextForAutoCompletion to be able to opt-out from text processing for auto-completion.
• The registeredPrefixes property are now of type NSSet (instead of NSArray).
• Added animation to views when switching from a keyboard to a custom input view. Thanks @cyhsutw!
• Made keyboardStatus public, making it easier to check for the current keyboard state.

Hot Fixes:

• Fixed a use case where the textInput would not follow the keyboard when dismissing.
• Improved text caching from the textInput, specially when moving the app to the background (in case the app crashes while being on the background).
• Fixed misaligned placeholder labels in the textView and out of bounds.
• Fixed the textInput not growing accordantly to the font size. This was a regressions since version 1.7.1
• Many, many, many auto-completion bug fixes 💪

Features & Enhancements:

• Renamed public autoCompleteFormatting to formattingEnabled.
• Doesn't opt-out anymore from the built-in menu menu items Define, Replace and Share.
• Made the collectionView's default background color to white.
• The auto-completion view is now presented above of the table/collection view avoiding to push it up/down every time. Much better UX!
• Stored all key commands in a instance variable, to avoid recreating the array at every character update.

Hot Fixes:

• Fixed library from not compiling on iOS 8.
• Fixed the right button from stretching when animating the constrains. This was broken since iOS 9.
• Improved UITabBar support by considering hidesBottomBarWhenPushed too.
• Fixed crash when double tapping the space bar while the textView was empty.
• Fixed issue causing not to forward all UITextViewDelegate callbacks.

Deprecations:

• Deprecated the keyboard panning gesture on iOS 9, to drag the keyboard up and down. More information about this in #361
• Deprecated isLoupeVisible, which will cause issues when auto-completion mode is active and moving the cursor of the text view. More information about this in #361

Features & Enhancements:

• Enabled interaction while the right button and the auto-completion view are being presented animatedly
• Does not scroll to the bottom anymore, if the content size is smaller than its bounds, when shouldScrollToBottomAfterKeyboardShows is enabled.

Hot Fixes:

• Fixed the keyboard status and custom notifications not being set on the right order.
• Fixed a crash when calling unrecognised selectors internally in the UITextViewDelegate method implementation, when using other subclasses of UITextView.
• Fixed UITabBar support. This was a regression. Thanks @LHIOUI for the headsup 👊
• Fixed cursor dragging issues when deep pressing on the keyboard's trackpad.
• Fixed the auto-completion layout being busted in 1.8. This was a regression.

Features & Enhancements:

• Added Markdown Formatting ⚡️📝, a useful and simple way to allow your users to auto-complete any markdown formatting from within the text input. 1 small step to make writing markdown quicker.
• The shake gesture now presents an UIAlertController for iOS 8 and above. Still supports the old and good UIAlertView for legacy versions.

Hot Fixes:

• Fixed some content inset non-sense
• Scrolling to top now really scrolls to top. Not down. Oopsie.
• Scrolling down when the keyboard gets presented is also working now. Yay 🎉 !
• The placeholder font now matches the textView font, for real this time.
• Avoids reloading the text view when there is no key for cache. Thanks @susieyy!
• Removed annoying iOS 8 warnings.

Fixes:

• Better Carthage support 🙏
• Fixed the textInput's right margin not being honored or honoured. Thanks @ikesyo 🙌
• Fixed the textView's contentSize to never be higher than its bounds. Very useful for stuff.

Features & Enhancements:

• Changed how the auto-completion API worked: it now allows asynch auto-completion! Have a look at how to set it up / update it](https://github.com/slackhq/SlackTextViewController#autocompletion)
• Added keyboard trackpad detection for iOS 9. Used internally for disables auto-completion while its detected, so we avoid crazy things! 👻
• Improved the magnifying glass detection.
• Gonna get a nice warning to remind you to super in viewDidLoad now. Fancy!
• Slowed down bouncy animation by 0.15 seconds
• Disabled cellLayoutMarginsFollowReadableWidth on iOS 9 for the auto-completion view. No need for large margins, come on!

Fixes:

• Fixed compatibility issues with Cocoapods 0.39.0 new requirements. All sources are now in the same root level.
• Fixed keyboard presentation when pushing a view controller instance. Thanks @fastred!
• Fixed auto-layout issues on the Edit Mode.
