November 2024: Stabilized live camera streaming in the viam-flutter-sdk by addressing a high-impact bug that caused the stream to reset when the user switched cameras. The fix ensures proper cleanup of the previous stream and prevents stale data from appearing in the feed. Implemented in commit c9bc4fa7929e5a1e43b7c9b56bcf4f34560116ca with message "Reset stream in camera_stream if camera changes" (#305).
