:mega: `kotlinx-datetime` 0.7.1 is here, providing a more convenient migration path to `kotlin.time.Instant`!
<https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-datetime/releases/tag/v0.7.1>

Are the 'compat' versions only for the 0.7.x series?

Are you asking if we going to publish `0.8.0-0.6.x-compat` as well? The current, optimistic plan is not to do that, but we'll decide based on the number of projects depending on `0.7.x-0.6.x-compat`.

Yes that was what I was asking.

Since the 'compat' version is considered newer than the non-compat version according to semver and Gradle rules, tools like Renovate and dependabot try to update to them over the non-compat version.

Yeah, this is a known problem, but ordering them that way was necessary to allow `B` depending on `0.7.1`, `C` depending on `compat`, and `A` depending on both `B` and `C` without having to fix the dependency version to `compat`.

I tried using `0.7.1` alongside Exposed-beta-04 but its datetime support appears to be based on `0.6.2` and completely incompatible with this. What is this compat package mentioned above; could that make things work and why isn't it being mentioned in release notes if so?  Turning back to `0.6.2` for now.

<@U013DCMNJTH> Just a heads up...I believe material3 is bundled with compose and it is still using 0.6.x for kotlinx datetime. This results in a runtime crash on iOS when using `DatePicker` . It'd be great if compose 1.9.0 bumped the datetime library version used for material3 `DatePicker`

Would file a youtrack, but deploying a hotfix for my app is my last task before bedtime
