Change log for kotlinx.coroutines

Version 1.10.2

Fixed the kotlinx-coroutines-debug JAR file including the module-info.class file twice, resulting in failures in various tooling (#4314). Thanks, @RyuNen344!
Fixed Flow.stateIn hanging when the scope is cancelled in advance or the flow is empty (#4322). Thanks, @francescotescari!
Improved handling of dispatcher failures in .limitedParallelism (#4330) and during flow collection (#4272).
Fixed runBlocking failing to run its coroutine to completion in some cases if its JVM thread got interrupted (#4399).
Small tweaks, fixes, and documentation improvements.

Version 1.10.1

Fixed binary incompatibility introduced for non-JVM targets in #4261 (#4309).

Version 1.10.0

Kotlin was updated to 2.1.0 (#4284).
Introduced Flow.any, Flow.all, and Flow.none (#4212). Thanks, @CLOVIS-AI!
Reorganized kotlinx-coroutines-debug and kotlinx-coroutines-core code to avoid a split package between the two artifacts (#4247). Note that directly referencing kotlinx.coroutines.debug.AgentPremain must now be replaced with kotlinx.coroutines.debug.internal.AgentPremain. Thanks, @sellmair!
No longer shade byte-buddy in kotlinx-coroutines-debug, reducing the artifact size and simplifying the build configuration of client code. Thanks, @sellmair!
Fixed NullPointerException when using Java-deserialized kotlinx-coroutines-core exceptions (#4291). Thanks, @AlexRiedler!
Properly report exceptions thrown by CoroutineDispatcher.dispatch instead of raising internal errors (#4091). Thanks, @zuevmaxim!

Fixed a bug that prevented the main() coroutine on Wasm/WASI from executing after a delay() call in some scenarios (#4239).
Fixed scheduling of runBlocking tasks on Kotlin/Native that arrive after the runBlocking block was exited (#4245).
Fixed some terminal Flow operators sometimes resuming without taking cancellation into account (#4254). Thanks, @jxdabc!
Fixed a bug on the JVM that caused coroutine-bound ThreadLocal values not to get cleaned when using non-CoroutineDispatcher continuation interceptors (#4296).
Small tweaks, fixes, and documentation improvements.

Fixes

Calling hasNext on a Channel's iterator is idempotent (#4065). Thanks, @gitpaxultek!
