Hello guys, is it 100% safe to upgrade stdlib 1.3.0 -> 1.3.35 in production without break anything? Should we be careful of something in particular?

[gildor]

1.3.35 doesn’t exist

[gildor]

In general I wouldn’t update stdlib without updating Kotlin itself

[Davide Giuseppe Farella]

Sorry, *31 😁 I'm playing with some deps and messed up the version

[Davide Giuseppe Farella]

Yes, anyway I mean the full kotlin "pack" but breaking changes would be on the stdlib I guess

[gildor]

if you update Kotlin it it’s backward compatible, but of course there are may be some bugs, changes (mostly about tooling and build tools), but I don’t know any particular issues

[gildor]

There are no breaking changes in the language or stdlib

[gildor]

I believe there are no breaking changes (in terms of source or binary compatibility) in Kotlin even if you update from 1.0 to 1.3.31

[Davide Giuseppe Farella]

My concern it's only about some "dirty" code, some has been auto-converted from Java a i seen something like

object : Function1<x> {
    override fun invoke... 
}

[gildor]

See
https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/evolution/components-stability.html

[gildor]

incremental releases are fully compatible, only optimizations and bug fixes happen. Feature releases are backwards compatible.

[gildor]

And it is for Kotlin 1.0

Awesome, thank you 🙂
