[John O'Reilly]

Is there list somewhere of versions of other dependencies needed when using this?

[aleksey.tomin]

And nothing for native 😿

[hhariri]

Should be compatible with existing releases of libs.

[John O'Reilly]

@aleksey.tomin just early testing so far but looks like some of the Kotlin/Native crashes I had been seeing in versions of Ktor > 1.4.0 seem to have been fixed in 1.5.0

[hhariri]

@aleksey.tomin we will. Native is important.

[John O'Reilly]

(not sure if that's expected or not though 🙂 )

[aleksey.tomin]

@hhariri will you add gzip in requests?

[hhariri]

Is there an issue number?

[aleksey.tomin]

@John O'Reilly I had had only crashes on my freeze errors.

[John O'Reilly]

@hhariri do you know if there should have been any particular Kotlin/Native crash fixes in this version (don't see anything in release notes about any)?

[hhariri]

Usually everything that is fixed is in the change log. https://ktor.io/changelog/1.5 @e5l you aware of anything in this area?

[e5l]

We updated kotlinx.coroutines, so some of the problems with native are gone

[aleksey.tomin]

@hhariri https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-1199

[John O'Reilly]

Thanks @e5l....things definitely looking a lot more stable on that front! 👍

[e5l]

This release(as minor) was mainly focused on API polishing and rolling new features, so not so much for native this time.

[sultanofcardio]

I thought Ktor was supposed to be following semantic versioning as of 1.4.0. Is this still correct?

[sultanofcardio]

From the blog post

This is a breaking change as auto-reload is now only enabled in this new mode.

[e5l]

Yep, it changes behavior but still is backward compatible

[hhariri]

@sultanofcardio good point though. I’ved updated the post to reflect this. Thanks.
