Are there any plans to release a compiler for Kotlin 1.9.21?

[Javier]

Any Androidx release happens on Wednesday. JetBrains has published one for 1.9.21 if you need it now.

Compose Compiler doesn't necessarily follow the release schedule as the rest of androidx (see the last compiler release).

I don't think Android allows using the Jetbrains compiler, i.e. only kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion is exposed

You can still use dependency substitution to replace it, or add it directly to the compiler classpath and bypass compose = true in build features

[eygraber]

I suppose that's more sensible than hoping for Google to be normal

[Ben Trengrove [G]]

Yes, there is a plan. Not sure of the release date sorry

Jetbrains one already have Kotlin 2.0 Beta support too

Hi, decided to switch to compose multiplatforn 1.5.11 so as not wait for android, but it caused build errors ((, it is already fixed https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/pull/3951 . but for some reason it is decided not being backported to 1.5.11. Anybody knows why? Should we wait for 1.6 to make build works again )

[eygraber]

Better to ask that in #compose-desktop

[jw]

1.5.5 just went out. Probably is for .21

[eygraber]

Would they hot patch it while these are still open - https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/1.9.21

[jw]

True. I haven't tried. Off today. Renovate will try for me.

[jw]

They could have landed it onto the release branch where only the compiler needs to be built.

[eygraber]

I'm trying now 🤞

e: This version (1.5.5) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version 1.9.20 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1.9.21 which is not known to be compatible.  Please consult the Compose-Kotlin compatibility map located at <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-kotlin> to choose a compatible version pair (or `suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck` but don't say I didn't warn you!).

[jw]

We should have known

[itnoles]

https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-compiler#1.5.5 Nothing to do with Kotlin 1.9.21

[jw]

Yeah it's going to be 1.5.6. There's already a CL for it.
