Hi guys!
Sorry it has been so long.
First: Happy new year 🙂
Now, I'm very happy to announce Kodein 5.0 Beta 1 !!!
I've quit my job late november and have been working on Kodein 5 full time ever since. I sincerely hope you'll like it.
Kodein 5 is a full review of Kodein, and a rewrite of a substantial part of its core.
The official CHANGELOG has not been updated yet BUT there is a migration document that describes all the changes and why they happened.
Kodein 5 is very different from Kodein 4, so, if you are willing to take the leap, please read the migration document carefully.
Also, the documentation has been thoroughly reviewed and re-worked to try to make it a bit more digest, and to emphasize that Kodein gives you the choice between constructor injection and property retrieval.
BTW: Kodein is now in the package org.kodein. That's right, I've purchased http://kodein.org 😉
Finally, I'm very proud to announce that Kodein is one of the first (maybe the first as I haven't found any other) third party library to be compatible with every compilation target supported by Kotlin. Kodein is available for the JVM & Android, for Javascript web & server, and for all native platforms supported by Kotlin/Native (including iOS)! A big thank you to @olonho for his constant availability and support! He really has been instrumental in the port of Kodein to Kotlin/Native. It is thanks to him and his team's amazing work that we can enjoy Kotlin on Native platforms, now with Kodein! (Note that as both Kotlin/Native & the KLib format are in developper preview, so is Kodein/Native. K/N should not be used in production... yet!).
Finally, here are the links:
The documentation hub, where you will find all available documentation: https://salomonbrys.github.io/Kodein/?5.0
The core documentation: https://salomonbrys.github.io/Kodein/?5.0/core (note that the different extensions now are in their own document)
THE MIGRATION GUIDE: https://salomonbrys.github.io/Kodein/?5.0/migration-4to5
As usual, feedback is very welcome 🙂
Salomon.
