🚀 Kotlin Multiplatform Tooling – Shifting Gears! We’re doubling down on KMP support in IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio! As a result, we’re discontinuing KMP support in Fleet, but all the insights we've gained will fuel our future efforts. Get the details here: blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2025/02… #Kotlin #KotlinMultiplatform #JetBrains #DevTools

🚀 Ktor 3.1.0 is here! This release brings many improvements, including: ✅ SSE improvements ✅ A new CLI project configurator ✅ HttpClient multipart ✅ New feedback collection tools Read the blog post and start building your next project today! kotl.in/5nvnel

AI Assistant in IntelliJ IDEA makes coding with #Kotlin and #Ktor easier, offering: 🚀 Syntax highlighting for code snippets. 🚀 The ability to accept snippets line-by-line and word-by-word. 🚀 Smooth integration with the IDE’s code completion. Take a look ⤵️

📢The Kotlin 2.0.0-RC2 release is out! You can use the K2 compiler in production ➡️ kotl.in/2.0.0RC2 🗻This release mostly covers the stabilization of the new Kotlin K2 compiler. In addition, there are new features in Kotlin/Wasm and Kotlin/JS, as well as improvements for the Gradle build tool. ⚙️ The Kotlin plugins that support 2.0.0-RC2 are bundled in the latest IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio. You don't need to update the Kotlin plugin in your IDE. All you need to do is to change the Kotlin version to 2.0.0-RC2 in your build scripts.

The Jetpack Compose compiler is moving to the @kotlin repository with the upcoming release of Kotlin 2.0! There will be a matching Compose compiler with each Kotlin release, so you won't have to wait to upgrade the Kotlin version in your Compose app → goo.gle/3QnPCC8

#JetpackCompose Tip: You can easily add List change animations to your LazyRow or LazyColumn by simply providing a unique key and `Modifier.animateItemPlacement()` on the child item. Note that the key should be unique throughout the entire LazyList. See video 👇 #AndroidDev

Are you using the OnLifecycleEvent annotation to hook into lifecycle events? This is now deprecated; use DefaultLifecycleObserver instead, simply overriding its appropriate methods. The best part? You can remove the lifecycle-compiler annotation processor from your project! 🥳
