Which source do you use to check the latest version of libraries? I used to check

mvnrepository

but yesterday I spent some time being confused about some latest material3 functions missing on my project, but turns out that website for material3 shows only up to release 1.1.0-alpha03, while the alpha04 is already out and has been for some days. Aside from looking at the release notes, which is just a bit less convenient when looking for smth real quick (I typically just search “[insert package name here] mvn” to have this website pop up), what other sources should I be aware of to get the guaranteed latest information on releases?

For version checks: https://github.com/ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin Release notes: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/versions/all-channel + watching releases on selected Github repos

We do have automatic bumps using dependabot so that’s fine, and I am aware of the official release notes, but that one is just a bit less convenient than mvnrepository since you need to scroll a bit and search for your dependency and so on. But anyway, maybe that’s the quickest and most reliable way to do this anyway.

Google have made it's maven browsable too https://maven.google.com/web/index.html
