I'm a bit confused about the recently released compiler version "1.4.5"
I had a PR upgrading kotlin to 1.8.20 and compose compiler. I was using 1.4.4-dev-k1.8.20-f6ae19e64ff and was working correctly.
Today I tried with 1.4.5 and get
androidx/compose/compiler/plugins/kotlin/ComposeComponentRegistrar has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0

Does that means that I need to set jdk to 17 on my sdk location?

Yeah, there's a lot of discussion about it!
TLDR: 1.4.5 requires JDK 17, but 1.4.6 is coming soon and it will support 11 again.
