I've released KVision 3.17.0 - https://kvision.io Highlights of this release include: - Upgraded dependencies (Kotlin 1.4.20, Coroutines 1.4.1, Jooby 2.9.4, Spring Boot 2.4.0, Javalin 3.12.0, Micronaut 2.2.0, NpmPublish 1.0.4, Gradle 6.7.1 and a few others NPM dependencies) - Preparations and many fixes for the IR compiler backend I've published artifacts for IR backend (with BOTH mode). All example applications work correctly with IR, but we are still waiting for 1.4.30 and KT-41227 fix to make KVision really usable with IR. For other changes see the changelog: https://github.com/rjaros/kvision/releases/tag/3.17.0 As always any feedback is welcomed 🙂

I keep wanting to break functional pipelines into named stages. Extension functions are ideal, but there isn’t a built-in refactoring to do the job. You can combine existing refactorings though http://oneeyedmen.com/extract-extension-from-chain.html

I'm pleased to announce the first public release of PatternFly Fritz2. PatternFly Fritz2 is a Kotlin/JS implementation of PatternFly based on fritz2. The goal of PatternFly Fritz2 is to provide all PatternFly components in Kotlin/JS. This is done in a way that matches the reactive nature of fritz2. To get a quick overview take a look at the PatternFly Fritz2 showcase. It demonstrates the usage of all available components and and also includes more complex demos of data driven components such as card view, data list and data table. PatternFly Fritz2 is still under development. The API might change and things might not work as expected. Please give it a try and share your feedback.
