Question

< jw> Any plans to releasing mosaic with kotlin 1 7 0 support

jw · Answer

Need JetBrains to release a stable version of multiplatform Compose for 1 7 first

spierce7 · Answer

Do we have confidence that s going to happen

spierce7 · Answer

I m still on 1 6 10 I ve been considering moving to preview builds

jw · Answer

It ll happen eventually who knows when

Kirill Grouchnikov · Answer

There needs to be a stable version of core Compose first as started numerous times in this channel

jw · Answer

What is core Compose Google did a completely nonsensical switch of the Kotlin version for 1 2 0 stable so Mosaic only needs JetBrains to release the multiplatform build

jw · Answer

Mosaic can just build its own runtime from the Google sources as it s done in the past but I d like to stop

Paul Woitaschek · Answer

Why do you think it is completely nonsensical

jw · Answer

Because they went from Kotlin 1 6 21 support in 1 2 0 rc02 to Kotlin 1 7 0 in 1 2 0

jw · Answer

It s an affront to the bullshit they feed us about their release cycle

jw · Answer

If rc01 and rc02 were true release candidates then they wouldn t land such a change with no prior ability for people to test it

Paul Woitaschek · Answer

I don t have any insights into that To me as a consumer that is just good and I m getting unblocked by compose forcing me to use an older kotlin version

jw · Answer

Moreover those who adopted the RCs to test are now forced to do what is effectively a Kotlin major bump to switch to stable

jw · Answer

Yeah that s easy ship 1 2 0 with Kotlin 1 6 21 and 1 3 0 with Kotlin 1 7 at the same time

jw · Answer

But their bespoke infrastructure holds them back from doing such things or adopting Kotlin 1 7 sooner it had plenty of time to beat the RCs

Paul Woitaschek · Answer

So how can they now release more frequently while still being in the monorepo

jw · Answer

Can they They re slow as shit

jw · Answer

The KSP team destroys them and demonstrates how to support Kotlin versions

Paul Woitaschek · Answer

Yep extremely positively surprised how smooth KSP supports various version almost instantly

jw · Answer

Sure that means the versions are decoupled but there isn t much point to decoupling the runtime and compiler Wasn t Compose UI always decoupled

Paul Woitaschek · Answer

gt It reads to me like they are now faster with releases Turns out I was wrong shrug
