# compose

Hello! Binary compatibility police here again 👮‍♂️ Looks like Box implementation has changed at some point after beta01 release. It was using the BoxScope object but now looks like it became an interface, and there is BoxScopeInstance object instead. As a result there is a crash when a library compiled against beta01 is used with the most recent version of Desktop compose (0.4.0-build177). Writing here because Desktop compose releases are ahead of Jetpack Compose. Checked beta03 version - it is still fine (not affected). Is it expected or by an accident?

Yup, that's the internal api review bug.

Here's the public link to the public bug: http://issuetracker.google.com/181869067

Mmm, that public bug contains far less information 😞

[matvei]

But the reasoning is still there, so I hope it would be useful to understand it better

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Thanks! I will recompile and publish updates.

I for one would be very interested to see the api review debates y’all have internally, if you ever make those public 😜
