📣 *Kotlin 1.9.20-Beta2 is here, with improvements on various fronts!*

✅ Multiplatform project configuration is now easier with the introduction of the new default hierarchy template in the Kotlin Gradle plugin.
✅ Multiplatform project build speed has improved significantly, thanks to the full support of the Gradle configuration cache.
✅ The Kotlin/Native memory manager performs better because the new memory allocator is enabled by default, and there are performance improvements for the garbage collector.
✅ We’re introducing a new target for Kotlin/Wasm – wasm-wasi.
✅ We’ve added support for the WASI API in the standard library, simplifying the use of Kotlin/Wasm beyond browsers.
✅ We’re working on stabilizing the K2 compiler, and we invite you to try it!
