Add

• Add an opt-in asyncCacheTypeCheck option that dispatches the cache-existence probe onto the cache I/O queue, so the synchronous disk stat no longer runs on the caller thread. Useful for cell-based UI that scrolls through many cached images. #2521 @onevcat
• Add data() async throws -> Data to ImageDataProvider and route provider-backed loads through a Swift concurrency Task. Cancelling the returned DownloadTask (or calling imageView.kf.cancelDownloadTask()) now stops the provider work and reports .dataProviderCancelled instead of delivering a late .success. #2519 #2511 @onevcat @FaizanDurrani @friday-refined

Fix

• Make SessionDataTask.mutableData return an independent Data snapshot instead of sharing the internal COW buffer, fixing an assertionFailure in Data.append observed on iOS 26 when concurrent readers held onto the snapshot. #2524 #2523 @onevcat @jeongju9216
• Fix a macOS crash when decoding images backed by an indexed (or pattern/unknown) color space by resolving an output-compatible color space before creating the bitmap context. #2516 #2467 @friday-refined @dream4java
• Correctly calculate animated image cost by deduplicating identical frame references in the images array via ObjectIdentifier, avoiding inflated memory cost when frames share storage. #2509 @aronspringfield
• Document the previously undocumented forcedCacheFileExtension option case so DocC covers every KingfisherOptionsInfoItem case. #2522 @RomanticD
