Hi guys,
is there some commitment, when compose supports new Kotlin releases "by default"? At least on new patch- or even minor-level Kotlin releases?
Currently the build fails because of those "we may do not support this Kotlin version. Fix it with the suppress compiler argument".

Is there something in the pipeline?
Or is compose, unfortunately, now 100% coupled to an specific Kotlin release and we have to wait for a new release of compose each time a new Kotlin version comes out?

the kotlin compiler apis that the compose plugin uses are not stable between releases, so it is currently coupled

Yep, there's not much else we can do here. We've discussed trying to do some very scoped X.Y.(Z+1) releases for kotlin version updates as quickly as possible when they happen, but our experience so far is that the time that takes can be highly variable

Do you have any idea as to when the decoupling might happen? Just to get an idea of the timescale
