Bunch of compose updates today! 🦜

Compose supports kotlin 1.7.0 in compiler 1.2.0
https://twitter.com/JimSproch/status/1542193552326680577 (kinda weird I think for it to be in 1.2.0? maybe just me?)

Version 1.2.0-rc03 out today
• Pretty minor bump
Version 1.3.0-alpha01
• New LookaheadLayout that supports a lookahead pass before the actual measure/layout.
• Introduced the UrlAnnotation annotation type and associated methods to support TalkBack link support in `AnnotatedString`s.
• Add optional alpha parameter to Brush flavor of TextStyle and SpanStyle to modify opacity of the whole Text
• Added a new API WindowInfo.keyboardModifiers to observe its state within composable functions or via snapshotFlow
Version 1.0.0-alpha14
• Nothing too major. See here if curious

Reminder of the compose <> kotlin compat map

that would be great if Electric Eel has Kotlin 1.7.0 plugins

I called it "fucking ridiculous" in our internal chat.

I'm still working on my english. Noted! 😂

Wonder what surprises are in store when upgrading to kotlin 1.7.0!

[Colton Idle]

Compose devs:
"Give us Kotlin 1.7! Give us Kotlin 1.7! Give us Kotlin 1.7!"

Gets 1.7
"No no. not like this"

After updating Compose to the new versions I got this error:

What am I missing that's weird about 1.7.0 support coming in 1.2.0? Is it just the version naming, or that the rest of 1.2.0 isn't stable yet?

[jw]

rc02 only supported 1.6.21. They merged what is effectively a major version bump into the compiler and released it as stable without any testing and now forcing anyone who had adopted the RCs to upgrade their Kotlin version.

[jw]

they should have released 1.2.0 stable supporting Kotlin 1.6.21 to complete the RC->stable journey and released 1.3.0 stable supporting Kotlin 1.7.0 at the same time

[eygraber]

Ah I didn't pick up on that because I treat most androidx releases (alpha, beta, rc, and stable) as untested, throw it into production releases 😬

I would love to see AS EE has Kotlin 1.7.0 plugins

@Zoltan Demant If you have a chance to try it, I would love to hear what you think, and maybe get some feedback on LookaheadLayout. 🙂
