The new StackAnimationScope

The ChildStack composable function now exposes StackAnimationScope instead of AnimatedVisibilityScope, providing access to stackAnimationDirection: Direction? property. This allows better UI customization during stack animations.

Improved predictive back animation scaling quality

This release significantly improves the quality of scaling when performing predictive back animations with Jetpack Compose.
