-* Updates minimum supported SDK version to Flutter 3.13/Dart 3.1.
+* Adds `textScaler` to `MarkdownStyleSheet`, and deprecates `textScaleFactor`.
+  * Clients using `textScaleFactor: someFactor` should replace it with
+    `TextScaler.linear(someFactor)` to preserve behavior.
+* Removes use of deprecated Flutter framework `textScaleFactor` methods.
+* Updates minimum supported SDK version to Flutter 3.16.
