0.21.0

[twyatt]

⚠️ Permissions change: Kable's permission configuration has changed, check Kable's Android Permissions documentation to ensure that your app's permission configuration is updated if needed.

⚠️ Behavior change: Advertisement.name has changed and now pulls the name from the backing scan record. For the previous behavior (pulling from the backing bluetooth device name, which is often cached), use Advertisement.peripheralName.

⚠️ API change: The scanner filtering support has been reworked to provide a common API across the supported platforms. New filters have also been added. Check out the updated Scanning documentation for details/examples.
