+## 0.3.1+1
+
+* Rehomed to `flutter/packages` repository.
+
+## 0.3.1
+
+* Fix nullability of `XFileBase`'s `path` and `name` to match the
+  implementations to avoid potential analyzer issues.
+
+## 0.3.0
+
+* Migrated package to null-safety.
+* **breaking change** According to our unit tests, the API should be backwards-compatible. Some relevant changes were made, however:
+  * Web: `lastModified` returns the epoch time as a default value, to maintain the `Future<DateTime>` return type (and not `null`)
+
+## 0.2.1
+
+* Prepare for breaking `package:http` change.
+
+## 0.2.0
+
+* **breaking change** Make sure the `saveTo` method returns a `Future` so it can be awaited and users are sure the file has been written to disk.
+
+## 0.1.0+2
+
+* Fix outdated links across a number of markdown files ([#3276](https://github.com/flutter/plugins/pull/3276))
+
+## 0.1.0+1
+
+* Update Flutter SDK constraint.
+
+## 0.1.0
+
+* Initial open-source release.

+# cross_file
+
+An abstraction to allow working with files across multiple platforms.
+
+# Usage
+
+Import `package:cross/cross_info.dart`, instantiate a `CrossFile` 
+using a path or byte array and use its methods and properties to 
+access the file and its metadata.
+
+Example:
+
+```dart
+import 'package:cross_file/cross_file.dart';
+
+final file = CrossFile('assets/hello.txt');
+
+print('File information:');
+print('- Path: ${file.path}');
+print('- Name: ${file.name}');
+print('- MIME type: ${file.mimeType}');
+
+final fileContent = await file.readAsString();
+print('Content of the file: ${fileContent}');  // e.g. "Moto G (4)"
+```
+
+You will find links to the API docs on the [pub page](https://pub.dev/packages/cross_file).
+

+[documentation](http://flutter.io/).
