Is Compose only working on specific Kotlin versions? I cannot seem to update past Kotlin 1.6.10, because then Compose complains.

I see, thank you. Is that going to be decoupled at some point?

In 2-4 years, yes.

I thought it was just until the compiler SDK is stabilized. Isn’t 1.7 supposed to start this process, with completion planned for 1.8 in about 6 months or so or 1.9 in about a year?

that would be great. but i'll believe it when i see it.

That’s fair. I would imagine the more recent delays are mostly due to the Russia office closing, but there were still some delays before.

totally. also software engineers are really bad at timelines!

Even when the timelines take that into account.

Chuck Norris is on the stable compile APIs since 2021

Ah, that is helpful to know. I am trying to debug a weird issue in my app that arises when updating Compose + Kotlin. I was trying to update one or the other separately to figure out if the problem is triggered with the newer version of Compose or of Kotlin, but couldn't. I will try just Kotlin + Compose Compiler.

wow, @romainguy has it always been true that the Compose compiler is backwards compatible with previous versions of the other Compose dependencies? that’s a great candidate to go into the official documentation (I don’t think it’s there?)
