Out of curiosity: Would somebody be interested in nightly builds from the current development state?

We're preparing for a new release in Arrow, and will soon start heavily working on documentation.
We have some other setup around Dokka, to generate our documentation websites (https://arrow-kt.io/).

I'd be very interested to upgrade, and try this out before our next release. Could you shed any more light on an expected release date?
How much breakage can be expected, or how big of an effort would it be to upgrade?
Or tools now run independent of Dokka since there is currently no such thing as plugins yet, so those shouldn't conflict. Our tool Ank is similar to the recent released Knit library.

Build of today: https://bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-dev/dokka/1.4.0-rc-8

[Afzal Najam]

Most definitely! Is 1.4.0 same as 0.11?

Edit: It is!! 🎉

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

Just for additional clarification:
There is no 0.11 anymore!
• 1.4.0-rc-{buildNumber} are builds from our 1.4.0-rc branch (which will be the next release we plan)
• 1.4.10-dev-{buildNumber} are builds straight from master

Speaking of which. Fresh from our CI
• 1.4.0-rc-10
• 1.4.10-dev-1

what is the difference between 1.4.0+ version and 1.4-M3+ described in README?

[tapchicoma]

later one targets only Kotlin 1.4+?

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

• 1.4.0-rc-14
• 1.4.10-dev-11
Difference between 1.4-M3 and 1.4.0-rc:
We initially planned to release a M3 verison alongside the 1.4-M3 version of the Kotlin compiler. We are now waiting for the official 1.4.0-rc version and will then release alongside that.

The 1.4.0-rc branch is based off the 1.4.0-M3. We basically updated the compiler version and also cherry-picked some bugfixes 👍
