When I try to preview a composable I get Render problems, but I can't figure out what the problem is about:
Copy code
@Preview
@Composable
fun TestPreview() {
    Text("Hello World!")
}
I'm on alpha09 with latest IDE.

Sounds like the compiler and runtime are not at the same version? Does this code run correctly when you deploy it to a device/emulator?

Yes it does
Sorry I would provide more information but I can't see any issues. The versions are up to date and the project buid successfully
androidx.ui:ui-tooling:1.0.0-alpha09
had to be renamed to 
androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.0.0-alpha09
. Now it works. This isn't mentioned in release notes properly @jim
The artifact 
ui-tooling
isn't also mentioned explicitly. For new comers it's hard to find those artifacts. The same applies for 
androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended:1.0.0-alpha09
. It would be great if you can reveal them explicity under https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-ui#declaring_dependencies

FWIW the updated dependencies are in the code block here: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/setup#compose-compiler And it looks like the renaming happened as part of 
-alpha08
(ie. prior to 
-alpha09
). But yes, point taken, we should have mentioned it in the release notes. When we have so many things happening at once, it's sometimes hard to keep track of them all, sorry about that.

Also worth noting that you can always browse the maven artifacts by visiting http://maven.google.com/
