📣 📣 📣 kotlinx.coroutines 1.7.0 release is here!

This is the next major release that contains multiple significant reworks and improvements:

• Much more efficient new Channel, Mutex and select implementations
• JPMS support
• Merge of kotlinx-coroutines-core and kotlinx-coroutines-jdk8 artifacts
• Partial stabilization and notable improvements of kotlinx-coroutines-test
• More K/N support: all official targets, better dispatchers, <http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>
And many more!

Full changelog: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/releases/tag/1.7.0
Thanks everyone for the feedback, bug reports and adoption of Beta and RC releases!

Nice!
I hope that ktor will support this new release soon! (My blocker issue is: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-5728/Linking-release-build-leads-to-compilation-error-with-coroutines-of-version-1.7.0-Beta)

Finally linuxArm64 support 🎉

@hfhbd What do you use Linux ARM 64 for? Desktops/laptops, or something else?

[hfhbd]

Desktop, mostly with docker on macOS. Now the images doesn't need to use Rosetta.

What do you use Linux ARM 64 for?

Although you haven't asked me buuuut 🙂 : I have a (simple) command line application based on clikt and ktor-client, and sharing a common API with a server it communicates with. It will be nice when I will be able to provide a Linux ARM64 compatible binary as well (although the main priorities are the Windows x64 and the Linux x64 targets).
