What is considered the best practice for managing versions in kotlin multiplatform? I had been using the buildSrc method with a Deps.kt file listing all the versions, although I have heard this can be bad for performance and was curious what one should be doing?

Version catalogs

Check composite builds

I've done the migration for part of a large project

The affect was not big (you can benchmark on your own project too) ,
but true changing one line did not cause the entire project to be rebuild like buildSrc

Also i read that buildSrc will support incremental builds by gradle 8

After working with buildSrc and submodules and sdks in large projects
Honestly hard coding the version for each module is not that big of a deal (or bad practice)

Gradle will pick the latest version and that what matters

so you can simply bump the version of a lib in the current module
but downgrading will be an issue 😅
