Pre-release

Changes since 1.9.0-beta01

Breaking Changes

Multiple Platforms

  • (prerelease fix) All public APIs tagged with ExperimentalMaterial3ExpressiveApi or ExperimentalMaterial3ComponentOverrideApi have been removed, see Google Jetpack changelog. Please use the previous Material3 alpha version explicitly to continue enjoying these features: #2278

    implementation("org.jetbrains.compose.material3:material3:1.9.0-alpha04")

Migration Notes

Multiple Platforms

  • kotlinx-datetime is updated to 0.7.1. If you also use it in your projects, please update it to this version to ensure compatibility #2276

Desktop

  • Kotlin 2.1 is required for all platforms including JVM (it was required only for native and web before) #2276

Web

  • CanvasBasedWindow is deprecated, use ComposeViewport instead.

  • [TextField] Fixed duplication of the composed characters when moving the caret by clicking during a composition #2255
  • (prerelease fix) Close the context menu when a menu item is clicked (old context menu API) #2259
  • Correctly remove SwingPanel children of ComposePanel, when the compose panel is itself removed from the hierarchy #2277
  • (prerelease fix) Fix DialogWindow causing a taskbar icon to be displayed in some cases where it shouldn't #2291

Web

  • Fix software keyboard behaviour for Compose Text Fields in iOS Safari #2260
  • Fixed the bugs with composite text input #2256
  • (prerelease fix) Hide disabled context menu items in the web text toolbar menu #2268
  • (prerelease fix) Show the "paste" item regardless of the the clipboard content state if the Clipboard API is supported #2267
  • (prerelease fix) The context menu will not show the Clipboard-related items when the Clipboard API are not supported by a browser #2266

Changes since 1.8.1

Known issues

Desktop

  • Could not find org.jetbrains.androidx.window:window-core-desktop:1.4.0-alpha07 when using material-adaptive or material3-adaptive-navigation-suite. YouTrack issue. Workaround is to exclude one dependency and include another:
    // if you have material3AdaptiveNavigationSuite dependency
    implementation(compose.material3AdaptiveNavigationSuite) {
        exclude(group = "org.jetbrains.androidx.window")
    }

    // if you have org.jetbrains.compose.material3.adaptive dependency
    implementation("org.jetbrains.compose.material3.adaptive:adaptive:1.2.0-alpha02") {
        exclude(group = "org.jetbrains.androidx.window")
    }

    implementation("androidx.window:window-core-jvm:1.4.0")

Highlights

Multiple Platforms

  • material3 library now includes new experimental MaterialExpressiveTheme #2127

Features

Multiple Platforms

  • Adopted a change in ComposeUiTest API. The block in runComposeUiTest is suspend now. It allows to call awaitIdle and other suspend functions. It ensures a correct execution of a test on all platforms. See the web specifics in kotlinx.coroutines.test.runTest documentation #2066

iOS

  • Add support for native IME configuration with PlatformImeOptions #2108

Desktop

  • Fixed a memory leak and performance degradation when ComposeUiFlags.isRectTrackingEnabled set to true (default) #2112
  • Support Preview parameters for Previews in common source sets in IJ and AS. Note: IDEs also need to implement support on their end. Please check the respective IDE release notes to confirm this is supported #5319
    Example usage: 
    import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable
import org.jetbrains.compose.ui.tooling.preview.Preview
import org.jetbrains.compose.ui.tooling.preview.PreviewParameter
import org.jetbrains.compose.ui.tooling.preview.PreviewParameterProvider

1.8.0

Highlights

Multiple Platforms

  • Compose Multiplatform codebase is fully migrated to K2. Please note that native and web klibs can be consumed only with Kotlin 2.1.0 or newer. Also, due to underlying changes in the compiler plugin, it's better to recompile libraries against the new version. Please let us know if you find any compatibility issues during this migration #1778
  • Implement multiplatform BackHandler and PredictiveBackHandler. And use them in material3 widgets and androidx-navigation library #1771

iOS

  • Remove experimental flag from fun enableTraceOSLog() #1652

Web

  • Improves text input support in Safari on mobile and desktop #1941
  • Correct certain text input scenarios on Web targets #1941

Resources

  • Add FontVariation.Settings support to the resources library #5183

Breaking Changes

Tests

  • runOnIdle will now execute action on the UI thread #1601
  • runOnIdle will no longer call waitForIdle after executing the action #1601
  • Advancing mainClock such that it doesn't reach the next frame, will no longer cause a recomposition #1618
  • IdlingResource interface was moved from commonMain to android and desktop source sets. The related experimental methods of ComposeUiTest were moved too. They are not available for Web and iOS anymore. Consider using waitUntil function as an alternative. Note: it's a breaking change only for Web and iOS, but not for Desktop and Android #1822

Multiple Platforms

  • Tests that relied on waitForIdle, awaitIdle or runOnIdle (whether explicit or implicit) executing delay-ed coroutines will no longer work correctly. To fix this advance the test time via mainClock manually, as needed #1550
  • Tests that advance the test clock (via mainClock.advanceTimeBy) may see different behavior with regards to the amount and timing of recomposition, layout, drawing and effects #1550
  • Multiplatform lifecycle was migrated from a internal core-bundle module to the androidx SavedState. Libraries that use org.jetbrains.androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-savedstate or org.jetbrains.androidx.savedstate:savedstate should migrate to the latest version #1850
  • A custom implementation for deprecated LocalTextInputService is no longer supported #1974

iOS

  • Update AccessibilitySyncOptions and remove AccessibilityDebugLogger from public API #1604
  • Remove obsolete Canvas Layers mode on iOS #1680
  • Add Composable annotation to the WindowInsets.Companion.waterfall getter to match the expected API #1919

Desktop

  • Deprecated/experimental Modifier.onExternalDrag has been removed - common Modifier.dragAndDropTarget API should be used instead #1606

Migration Notes

Multiple Platforms

  • Google Maven now contains some artifacts for all Kotlin targets including Wasm and JS. Compose Multiplatform now depends on those artifacts and user projects might need to add google() repo to repositories {...} block if it is not there yet #1819
  • material/material3 libraries no longer add a dependency to material-icons-core so if your project relied on that, you will have to explicitly add that dependency in your build.gradle[.kts] files: #2030 
    implementation("org.jetbrains.compose.material:material-icons-core:1.7.3")

iOS

  • LocalUIViewController moved to the androidx.compose.ui.uikit module #1608
  • ComposeUIViewControllerDelegate marked as deprecated. Use the parent view controller to override the methods of the UIViewController class #1651
  • Experimental classes CupertinoScrollDecayAnimationSpec and CupertinoOverscrollEffect are removed from public API #1806

Gradle Plugin

  • The Compose Gradle Plugin requires Kotlin Gradle Plugin 2.+ version now. Old org.jetbrains.compose.compiler is not supported anymore and the API to configure it was removed #5293

Features

Multiple Platforms

  • Support configurable vertical text centering via LineHeightStyle.Alignment #1569
  • Support Variable Fonts In All Platforms #1623
  • Update skia to m132 #1823
  • Adopt a new Clipboard interface with suspend functions, which work correctly on all targets including Web. The ClipboardManager was deprecated because it was not possible to correctly implement it for Web #1796

iOS

  • Add localised string for VoiceOver accessibility support #1441
  • Support state announcements for scrollable lists in VoiceOver #1644
  • Support for accessibility gestures for left-to-right languages #1663
  • (Experimental) ComposeUIViewControllerConfiguration.useSeparateRenderThreadWhenPossible flag that allows offloading GPU commands encoding to the separate thread and improving performance #1694
  • Initial Drag&Drop support #1690
  • Align Compose components semantics with UIKit views accessibility #1719
  • Accessibility navigation uses safe area to calculate when focused rect is out of bounds #1745
  • Support VoiceControl on iOS #1780
  • AccessibilitySyncOptions removed. The accessibility tree is built on demand #1780
  • Calculate the order and location of semantic elements in the same way as it's done on Android #1809
  • Support UIAccessibilityContainerTypeSemanticGroup for traversal groups #1809
  • Compose works correctly with nested UIScrollViews, as well as within UIScrollViews #1818
  • Added the ability to close modal Compose view controllers (with non-scrollable content on them) with a swipe gesture #1818
  • Support new haptic feedback types #1831
  • Support for focusable nodes when Full Keyboard Access is enabled on iOS #1825
  • Floating cursor support for BasicTextField(TextFieldState) #1598
  • Add support for Bold Text accessibility setting #1846
  • Bhojpuri language support for VoiceOver #1838
  • Add support for Reduce Motion accessibility setting #1847
  • Default androidx.navigation transition animation on iOS is as close as possible to the iOS back gesture #1861
  • Support accessibility text input #1875
  • Support text input for UI Tests #1875
  • Accessibility: added ability to traverse nodes within a scrollable container [#1837](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-c...

Pre-release

Changes since 1.8.0-beta02

Highlights

Web

  • Improves text input support in Safari on mobile and desktop #1941
  • Correct certain text input scenarios on Web targets #1941
    New WebTextInputService seeks to achieve the following goals:
  1. Add support to Safari (which happens to have its own flow of input events that are inconsistent with other browsers)
  2. Correct behavior for composition and accent dialogue scenarios
  3. Introduce some changes that we will use for improving accessibility

Breaking Changes

Multiple Platforms

  • A custom implementation for deprecated LocalTextInputService is no longer supported #1974

Migration Notes

Multiple Platforms

  • material/material3 libraries no longer add a dependency to material-icons-core so if your project relied on that, you will have to explicitly add that dependency in your build.gradle[.kts] files: #2025, #2030
implementation("org.jetbrains.compose.material:material-icons-core:1.7.3")

Gradle Plugin

  • The Compose Gradle Plugin requires Kotlin Gradle Plugin 2.+ version now. Old org.jetbrains.compose.compiler is not supported anymore and the API to configure it was removed #5293

Lifecycle

  • (prerelease fix) Remove deprecated AbstractSavedStateViewModelFactory from common code #1976

Features

Desktop

  • The default ProGuard version is set to 7.7.0 #5279
    • If there are any new errors in the release build, update the ProGuard rules
    • A usual workaround is to add -keep class for the associated with error class in "Location:"
    • If the error contains androidx. package, it might a Compose bug, please report in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/CMP. The -keep class workaround should also work in this case
  • (prerelease fix) ./gradlew runRelease doesn't crash with java.lang.VerifyError #5279
