07/02/2022, 2:58 PMNeed JetBrains to release a stable version of multiplatform Compose for 1.7 first.

07/02/2022, 3:18 PMDo we have confidence that’s going to happen?
spierce7
07/02/2022, 3:18 PMI’m still on 1.6.10. I’ve been considering moving to preview builds.

jw
07/02/2022, 3:22 PMIt'll happen eventually, who knows when

07/02/2022, 4:21 PMThere needs to be a stable version of core Compose first, as started numerous times in this channel.

jw
07/02/2022, 4:24 PMWhat 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
07/02/2022, 4:24 PMMosaic can just build its own runtime from the Google sources as it's done in the past, but I'd like to stop

07/02/2022, 8:39 PMWhy do you think it is completely nonsensical?
j
jw
07/02/2022, 8:41 PMBecause they went from Kotlin 1.6.21 support in 1.2.0-rc02 to Kotlin 1.7.0 in 1.2.0
jw
07/02/2022, 8:42 PMIt's an affront to the bullshit they feed us about their release cycle
jw
07/02/2022, 8:43 PMIf rc01 and rc02 were true release candidates then they wouldn't land such a change with no prior ability for people to test it

07/02/2022, 8:43 PMI 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
j
jw
07/02/2022, 8:43 PMMoreover, those who adopted the RCs to test are now forced to do what is effectively a Kotlin major bump to switch to stable
jw
07/02/2022, 8:44 PMYeah 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
07/02/2022, 8:44 PMBut 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)
p
Paul Woitaschek
07/02/2022, 8:45 PMSo how can they now release more frequently while still being in the monorepo?
j
jw
07/02/2022, 8:45 PMCan they? They're slow as shit.
jw
07/02/2022, 8:46 PMThe KSP team destroys them and demonstrates how to support Kotlin versions

It reads to me like they are now faster with releases
Paul Woitaschek
07/02/2022, 8:48 PMYep, extremely positively surprised how smooth KSP supports various version almost instantly
j
jw
07/02/2022, 8:58 PMSure that means the versions are decoupled, but there isn't much point to decoupling the runtime and compiler. Wasn't Compose UI always decoupled?
