Version 0.9.6 (2020-10-12)

Fixes

  • This release fixes a major memory leak that would make Gradle Daemons unusable after several builds (or Gradle syncs/imports). We are very sorry for that issue, and the annoyance it might have caused. We experienced it too as users, and that's why we are bringing the fix now. We took the necessary measures to avoid future recurrence of such memory leaks.
  • Fix of a bug that'd make the first Gradle sync after adding a dependency fail.

Breaking change

  • If you were using Jetpack Compose, the compiler dependency had its maven coordinates changed in version 1.0.0-alpha04. We updated the AndroidX.compose.compiler dependency constant, which means it now works only for Compose 1.0.0-alpha04 and more future versions.

New dependency constants

  • Google.android.playServices.mlKit
  • Google.mlKit
  • KotlinX.serialization.json

Deprecated

Firebase ML Kit has been rebranded to Google ML Kit along with API and feature changes since 2020-08-14 update, so we deprecated the Firebase.mlKit dependencies and introduced new ones in Google.android.playServices.mlKit and Google.mlKit.

New features

  • refreshVersions will now warn you when Gradle is not up to date, and will give you the commands to run to update it for you to copy/paste and run. It works if you're using a release candidate, and also if you're using a nightly version!
