K K K Kotlin 2.0.0-Beta2 is out! K K K

ℹ️ This release focuses on stabilizing the new K2 compiler, which will soon be enabled by default in Kotlin 2.0. In addition, there is a change in the way that the Kotlin Gradle plugin stores Kotlin data.

✅ The Kotlin plugins that support 2.0.0-Beta2 are bundled in the latest IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio.
You don’t need to update the Kotlin plugin in your IDE. All you need to do is to change the Kotlin version to 2.0.0-Beta2 in your build scripts.

❓ How to enable the Kotlin K2 compiler?
Starting with Kotlin 2.0.0-Beta1, the Kotlin K2 compiler is enabled by default. No additional actions are required.
