Is full Java 17 LTS support scheduled for a 1.5.x release, 1.6.0 release, or later?

What do you mean by "Java 17 support"?
Java sealed classes will be supported in 1.6 (actually, they are supported in 1.5.30 under a flag)
No other java 17 features don't need any special support

From my understanding it does not work with Java 17 is this incorrect?

AFAIK kapt compatibility issue with JDK 17 was fixed in 1.5.30
If you found something new please report it in youtrack

ah, cool, then it's just a matter of waiting for the next gradle release then.

But this then? <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-45545>

<@U014WPZKM6F>, the issue you've mentioned is related to restrictions of internal modules in new versions of JDK. In most cases there are work-arounds how to make KAPT working and they are described in comments.
Nevertheless we'are planning to make KAPT working out-of-box in nearest future (1.6.10 or 1.6.20).

Thanks, is .10 and .20 scheduled for this year or next?

I guess at least one of them should be released this year.

Is it the above ticket to track, or is there any other more specific?

Small update from my side. The fix is merged in 1.6.0-RC (the <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-45545|issue>), so the build should become available in couple days.
