# multiplatform

[Piotr Prus]

non-technical question. When the KMP was announced? I can find a lot of articles about KMM, but not KMP. When it was released, when it was in alpha stage?

Try searching for MPP as well. It's used sinonymously with KMP

You can also search for "Kotlin multiplatform" in general. KMM got more traction because the Kotlin team decided to focus more precisely on mobile stuff first in their multiplatform story. Kotlin multiplatform in general is still in alpha

Thanks for hints. i still didnt found any date of multiplatform in general. Only KMM that start August 31, 2020.

Might be worth scrolling waaay down in kotlin blog to see when mpp was first announced?

Maybe this gives a hint at how long it's been there (Kotlin 1.2, 2017):

Yep, it does seem MPP (Multi-Platform Projects) were released as part of Kotlin 1.2 in 2017:
