What’s new

Hilt

The Hilt class dagger.hilt.android.components.ApplicationComponent is being renamed to dagger.hilt.components.SingletonComponent. This release adds the new SingletonComponent class in preparation for this change without removing the existing ApplicationComponent. This rename is part of a plan to address #1908 to allow usage of Hilt in non-Android Gradle modules when installing into the SingletonComponent. Current users can begin switching to the new SingletonComponent name as of this release. A future release will remove ApplicationComponent.
