What’s the motivation that datetime 0.3.3 now targets a beta kotlin release?
This causes bugs from the kotlin beta preventing us from updating kotlinx date time

There was an incompatible change in the experimental part of kotlin.time package in the 1.7.0 stdlib and kotlinx-datetime used that part of API. In order to provide a version of kotlinx-datetime compatible with 1.7.0-Beta we have released a new version 0.3.3.
If you have Kotlin 1.6.x in your project, you should use the version 0.3.2 of the library.

But there are more changes with LocalTime etc

[ilya.gorbunov]

These are not released yet

[Paul Woitaschek]

Imo the correct approach would be to release a 0.3.2 with stable kotlin and 0.3.2-kotlin-betax

Just like ksp does
