Changes since 1.8.0-beta02

Highlights

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:

Add support to Safari (which happens to have its own flow of input events that are inconsistent with other browsers)
Correct behavior for composition and accent dialogue scenarios
Introduce some changes that we will use for improving accessibility

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

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
