1.8.0-alpha04

Changes since 1.8.0-alpha03

Highlights

Desktop

• Improved performance on Windows by replacing the native code compiler to Clang. See details in JetBrains/skiko#1020 (comment) #1863
  • DirectX rendering FPS is 17 % higher
  • Software rendering FPS is 73 % higher

  • Note that the numbers are measured on one machine and also can differ between Compose 1.7 and Compose 1.8 (will be updated in the stable Release Notes)

Known Issues

iOS

• Back gesture may remain stuck in the middle, the fix will be available in the next pre-release version #1861

Breaking Changes

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
• 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
• (prerelease fix) Material3 is reverted from Jetpack Compose Material3 1.4.0-alpha07 to 1.3.1 because 1.4.0 Stable will be released only after Compose Multiplatform 1.8.0. As a workaround to continue using the new API, replace:

  implementation(compose.material3)
  

  by:

  implementation("org.jetbrains.compose.material3:material3:1.8.0-alpha03")
  

  Jetpack Compose Material3 1.4.0 will be merged again sometime after the Compose Multiplatform 1.8.0 release #1868

Changes since 1.8.0-alpha02

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
• Implement multiplatform BackHandler and PredictiveBackHandler. And use them in material3 widgets and androidx-navigation library

Breaking Changes

Multiple Platforms

• IdlingResource interface was moved from commonMain to android and desktop source sets. The related experimental methods of ComposeUiTest were moved too.

iOS

• Experimental classes CupertinoScrollDecayAnimationSpec and CupertinoOverscrollEffect are removed from public API

Features

Multiple Platforms

• Fix inconsistency between Android and Desktop in placeWithLayer scale application: offset is not scaled now (Android behavior)
• Clear the canvas before rendering each frame in tests, to avoid drawing different frames on top of each other, resulting in incorrect images being returned by captureToImage

iOS

• Performance issues when iOS screen reader is active fixed
• Fixed issues where the interactive pop gesture would stop working
• Fixes an issue where it's not possible to close the UIMenu that appears over the Compose content
• Fix touches tracking for multitouch gestures

Desktop

• Fixed the positioning of the IME candidate popup for TextField(TextFieldState) (aka BasicTextField2)
• Fixed input of diacritics via long-press on macOS in TextField(TextFieldState) (aka BasicTextField2)
• Radio buttons and any other elements using Modifier.selectable with Role.RadioButton will have their state reported to accessibility via AccessibleValue.getCurrentAccessibleValue() and as AccessibleState.CHECKED in getAccessibleStateSet()

1.8.0-alpha01

Changes since 1.7.1

Highlights

iOS

• LocalUIViewController moved to the androidx.compose.ui.uikit module
• Update AccessibilitySyncOptions and remove AccessibilityDebugLogger from public API
• ComposeUIViewControllerDelegate marked as deprecated. Use parent view controller to override the methods of the UIViewController class
• Remove experimental flag from fun enableTraceOSLog()
• Remove obsolete Canvas Layers mode on iOS

Breaking Changes

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
  For example, tests that previously did something like:

  var updateText by mutableStateOf(false)
  var text by mutableStateOf("0")
  setContent {
      LaunchedEffect(updateText) {
          if (updateText) {
              delay(1000)
              text = "1"
          }
      }
  }
  updateText = true
  waitForIdle()
  assertEquals("1", text)
  

  will need to add mainClock.advanceTimeBy(1000) after waitForIdle(), because waitForIdle no longer waits for the delay-ed coroutine to complete
• 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
• runOnIdle will now execute action on the UI thread
• runOnIdle will no longer call waitForIdle after executing the action
• Advancing mainClock such that it doesn't reach the next frame, will no longer cause a recomposition

Desktop

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

Features

Multiple Platforms

• Support configurable vertical text centering via LineHeightStyle.Alignment
• Support Variable Fonts In All Platforms

iOS

• Add localised string for VoiceOver accessibility support
• Support state announcements for scrollable lists in VoiceOver
• Support for accessibility gestures for left-to-right languages

Desktop

• Compose plugin for IntelliJ IDEA now supports K2 mode

Resources

• Add new API to preload and cache font and image resources on web targets: preloadFont, preloadImageBitmap, preloadImageVector

Gradle Plugin

• Support compose resources in androidLibrary target

Navigation

• Basic support a navigation by deep links
• Commonize navController.navigate(Uri) method
• Implemented non-android navController.handleDeepLink(NavDeepLinkRequest) method
• New API to configure browser navigation buttons and the address line
• Navigation via a browser address field

Fixes

Multiple Platforms

• waitForIdle, awaitIdle and runOnIdle no longer consider Compose to be non-idle when coroutines launched in a composition scope call delay. This prevents tests with an infinite loop with delay in a LaunchedEffect from hanging
• Tests that advance the test clock (via mainClock.advanceTimeBy) will now correctly (re)compose/layout/draw/effects each virtual frame as needed
• runOnIdle will now execute action on the UI thread, as Android behaves
• runOnIdle will no longer call waitForIdle after executing the action, as Android behaves
• The overhead for running an empty test has been significantly reduced

iOS

• Deprecate defaultUIKitMain()
• Fixed visibility of androidx.compose.material3.internal.formatWithSkeleton that was accidently marked as public
• Fix a bug where the accessibility tree did not reload when VoiceOver was enabled
• Fix Display Cutout Padding when rotating the device

Desktop

• Fix drag-and-drop when the list of supported actions doesn't include Move
• Fix accessibility focus when using compose.swing.render.on.graphics=true
• Fix "Context menu on desktop shows incorrect items after the second showing"

Resources

• Read android:autoMirrored="true" property and pass it to ImageVector builder

Navigation
