A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hello, in <https://youtu.be/vU48FVzBLtc?si=5tFGk20PXNWr-XZN|this Kotlin Conf talk> from last year, there was a mention of a new UKlib format for Kotlin distribution. It was originally planned for Kotlin 2.2, which has now been released. Is there any new information about this? Is it still being worked on? I found a bunch of YouTrack issues about it, but none with recent comments or other visible activity. Is it related to the new BTA?
Not that I need this information. I am just curious :sweat_smile: I feel like there are a lot of moving parts that all need to come together to achieve this, but I am just unable to piece it all together :disappointed:

The work is definitely going on.

yes, work is going on UKlibs and soon we should publish relevant KEEPs and mid-term a blogpost.

Also UKlib + BTA is not really suited for <#C7L3JB43G|> channel scope - better to ask in <#C0B8PUJGZ|> channel :slightly_smiling_face:

and JiC: KEEP for BTA: <https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/pull/422>

Thanks for the info :kodee-loving:
Sorry for the wrong channel. I thought klibs were related to the compiler since they are produced by it (or at least I think they are? :sweat_smile: Not sure now)

UKlib is more about publication model to stop heavily rely on Gradle attributes and have a single `.klib` for all platforms
