No Navigation? Did I miss it? Or not yet? We are current modeling nav after this https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-master-dev:compose/navigation/navigation/samples/src/main/java/androidx/compose/navigation/samples/NavigationSamples.kt

Finally it is possible to disable text selection for a subtree! It was so simple all along…

I’m currently just using the existing fragment navigation pattern @Ash. I’ll have to refactor at some point when the compose navigation comes out but for now it works well. Extra boilerplate for sure but not too bad.

Is it possible to restore lazycolumn scroll state?

No navigation-compose release this week - going through a module rename (https://android-review.googlesource.com/1457392) to put it under the androidx.navigation group ID so that we go out with what our final module scheme in alpha01. I'll post about it when the change goes through and your snapshots will need to be swapped over

@jim Kotlin 1.4.20 support?

[jim]

The latest release of 1.4.20 is still M1. We will need at least M2 (which fixes a NewInference regression), and realistically probably won't merge a migration to 1.4.20 until a final release is available.

[Colton Idle]

Cool. Won't try until then. 😬

[Ian Lake]

They're separate artifact groups and therefore the release notes for each group is on their individual separate pages. For example, see https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-runtime

Ah, that makes sense 🤦‍♂️ thanks
