02/16/2023, 6:04 PMDoes it matter which version of the runtime library is used (e.g. kotlinx-serialization-json) with a specific version of the Kotlin Compiler? I know the plugin version is supposed to match the Kotlin version, but does the runtime library also require this? that is should I be using kotlinx-serialization-json:1.4.0 with Kotlin 1.7.10?
