Inline class serialization/deserialization doesn’t...

Inline class serialization/deserialization doesn’t work in 1.3.50-eap-5 even with custom serializer.

@Serializable(with=KeySerializer::class)
inline class Key(val source:String)

Error:

Inline class serialization not supported

No problem in 1.3.41.
Is it planned regression for 1.3.50?

@sandwwraith Will it be fixed in next eap release of serialization?

[sandwwraith]

Nope, it is intended. We don't support inline classes officially. I'm surprised that custom serializer even worked...

[turansky]

It has worked until 1.3.50-eap-5.

Will Kotlin have OOB serialization support for inline classes? Or inline classes will be removed at all?

[sandwwraith]

Yes, we have plans to support inline classes in kotlinx.serialization

@sandwwraith Will it be supported in 1.3.50?

[sandwwraith]

Nope

@sandwwraith Is there some information about planned version?
