It looks like compiling `apiLevel=1.3` prevents us...

It looks like compiling apiLevel=1.3 prevents using ExperimentalStdlibApi ? Is there a way to still allow that? I'd like to use String.capitalize(locale: Locale) which is stable in 1.4 while still making sure I don't use anything that's only 1.4

Capitalize is deprecated in 1.5 no?

[mbonnin]

Ah maybe 😅

[mbonnin]

Even the one that takes a locale?

[mbonnin]

Looks like so https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.text/capitalize.html

I don't like it is deprecated, at the end everybody is going to create the capitalize ext fun using their suggestion

[mbonnin]

Yea, how do you capitalize or even upperCase something in a Locale/dependant way using Kotlin APIs? Everything I find is JVM only 🤔 (or deprecated)

[Javier]

The suggestion is JVM only?

[mbonnin]

Not sure what you mean by "suggestion" ?

[mbonnin]

replaceFirstChar { it.uppercase() } ?

[mbonnin]

This is MPP but doesn't allow passing a Locale

[Javier]

Ah, yeah, only in JVM

[Javier]

I don't know if there are plans to create a kmp locale tbh

[mbonnin]

Yea, looks like it has never been possible

[mbonnin]

Actually now that I think about it, the deprecation makes sense, these toUpperCase were dangerous on non-JVM platforms (on JVM too but at least there were the overloads so that you could implement what you want)

[Javier]

I have to check the difference between uppercase and titledcase

We need to port icu4j to Kotlin to unlock all locale dependent transforms correctly. 😉
