Until 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?

yes, this is the goal

[Adam Powell]

we're well aware of the desire to stay both on stable library dependencies and up to date Kotlin 🙂

Is there any estimation when we can expect compile plugin API stabilization?

[stojan]

making the compiler API stable is postponed from Kotlin side, source: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/roadmap.html#roadmap-details

Thank you, now I know what to observe
