There’s a change my team really needs that’s planned to be released in part of
2.1.20-Beta2
. Is anyone able to share with me approximately when that beta release is expected to land?
d
It's planned by the end of January unless something unexpected happens If you want to check that the fix actually helps with your problem, you can try
2.1.20-dev-8066
build from the bootstrap repo. It contains all related commits
Copy code
maven("<https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/kotlin/p/kotlin/bootstrap>")
thank you color 1

I mean the bootstrap repo also works, but there's generally more builds in
/dev
like those you'd find in the fix versions of an issue
d
Nope, I meant bootstrap In this particular case dev is also suitable, as the commit has landed a month ago
j
Why would you choose the bootstrap repo specifically over dev for someone wanting early-access to builds?
d
Because for me it's much faster to check the latest available bootstrap build rather latest dev build And in this particular case the question was not "how to try the latest version?", but "how to test the fix?"
k
Let me clarify: I was asking to try the latest version. We are intending to run it as our daily driver until Kotlin 2.1.0 final is released. That’s how bad the memory problem is for us at the moment.
d
Also I have some bias, as I deal with our regular bootstrap updates and almost never touch the dev repo
j
Makes sense. Thanks. I knew the bootstrap repo existed, but didn't realize it had such modern, in-development versions.

In this case you really need the dev repo. Builds are published to it at the nightly basis Just note that the repo is not permanent and builds are getting expired in a several months

We publish builds from master to bootstrap repo every two weeks and use them to build the kotlin.git
