07/29/2021, 2:10 PMUntil Kotlin makes compiler plugin APIs stable, Compose version is tied to Kotlin version and vice-versa. Traditionally, active development in Jetpack libraries is done in alpha/beta channel, leaving stable channel for bug fixes only. When Compose was in alpha/beta, it had biweekly releases, and support for new Kotlin version was added to Compose in next release or two. I have a concern that latest stable Compose will fall behind the Kotlin version. Will new Kotlin releases be supported in stable channel of Compose in future?
