1.13.0-alpha01

on GitHub

Changes since 1.12.0

Known issues

Web

• RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds error (YouTrack issue). Workaround is to disable the snapshot cache: ComposeUiFlags.useSnapshotCache = false

Highlights

Desktop

• Implemented support for AppCDS and AOT, which can significantly speed up application startup #5644

Web

• ComposeViewportConfiguration is no longer experimental #3297, #3300

Breaking Changes

Gradle Plugin

• Deleted deprecated Compose Gradle Plugin API: compose.web.targets(...) #5685

Migration Notes

Multiple Platforms

• Skottie is no longer included in the Skiko core binary and is no longer bundled with Compose Multiplatform. To continue using Skottie, add org.jetbrains.skiko:skiko-skottie to commonMain. If your project targets desktop, also add org.jetbrains.skiko:skiko-skottie-awt-runtime-all to desktopMain #3234
• Removed ComposeUiFlags.useLegacyRenderNodeLayers flag used to revert legacy (pre 1.8) render node layers for cases without androidx.compose.ui.graphics.layer.GraphicsLayer #3213

Desktop

• Renamed AlignedToScreen to AlignedToScreenAvailableBounds and CenteredOnScreen to CenteredInScreenBounds to clarify their behavior. CenteredInScreenBounds now actually centers on the screen (ignoring insets) #3291

Android

• The minimum supported SDK is raised to 24 #3351

Features

HTML library

• Add StyleScope.inset extension functions #5194

Multiple Platforms

• Add support for mediaQuery calls which allows to modify Composables depending on device characteristics #3339

iOS

• Use UIView layout and draw phases to run corresponding operation for Compose containers #3212
• Added possibility to configure spellCheckingType for textfields with usingNativeTextInput = true via PlatformImeOptions #3305
• Support iOS Dynamic Type font scaling based on accessibility settings #3306
• Support preferred-size reporting for Compose hosting views (ComposeHostingView / ComposeHostingViewController) embedded in UIKit or SwiftUI through sizeThatFits proposals. Keep the default ComposeContainerConfiguration.preferredSizeReportingStrategy = PreferredSizeReportingStrategy.SizeThatFits, for UIKit and SwiftUI on iOS 16 and later. For SwiftUI on iOS < 16, use PreferredSizeReportingStrategy.IntrinsicContentSize #2984

Desktop

• Added a new WindowPositionProvider.CenteredInScreenBounds(DpOffset) function that centers on the screen #3291
• Disabled Swing double buffering to reduce memory footprint #3336
• (prerelease fix) Bump Compose Hot Reload to 1.3.0-alpha01 #5683

Web

• Added prefetching of LazyLayout items during browser idle times #2928
• Added experimental support for system window insets on Web #3202
• Added support to LazyLayouts to run some work without blocking current frame's painting #2929
• Disposing Compose application automatically if parent container is destroyed #3242
• Deprecate PointerIcon.Companion.fromKeyword and introduce equivalent PointerIcon helper function instead #3287
• Add experimental API to render WebGL textures #3323

Gradle Plugin

• Allow excluding libraries from the dependency compatibility check via compose { dependencyCompatibility { } } extension #5694

Fixes

Multiple Platforms

• Fixes that GraphicsLayer with CompositingStrategy.ModulateAlpha does not apply alpha value without extra invalidation #3204
• Fixed an issue in runComposeUiTest V2 when input events required waitForIdle to be processed #3302

iOS

• Fixed UIKit keyboard animation curve handling by converting UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey values to UIViewAnimationOptions #3183
• Fix BasicTextField focus handoff between nested Compose iOS scenes #3203
• Fixed the floating cursor no longer responding horizontally after a very quick swipe on iOS #3224
• Fixed the caret not snapping to the nearest word boundary when tapping inside a word in an unfocused BasicTextField(TextFieldValue) #3229

• Fixed the system "Bold Text" accessibility setting not being applied to CJK characters when using FontFamily.Default #3325

Desktop

• Made window resizing smooth on macOS when using Metal (the default renderer). To enable the fix, set the system property skiko.rendering.macos.metalSynchronousLiveResize to true. This will eventually become the default #3261

• Fixed potential crash when the accessibility subsystem processes focusLost #3361
• Fix crash when trying to set the content of an unavailable/busy clipboard #3364
