Hello dear Koin users community 👋

I’m happy to announce the new Koin release: 3.5.0 🎉 This release brings new important updates & features. Find all the details in the GitHub release link of the project: https://github.com/InsertKoinIO/koin/releases/tag/3.5.0

Let’s go through some announcements quickly together 🚀

First, Koin 3.5 is launching the new main active version of the project. It brings important library updates:

• Kotlin & all 3rd parts are up to dates 1.9.x
• Android androidx.activity:activity-ktx:1.7.2, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.6.1, androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment-ktx:2.7.1

In terms of version, the other good thing is the deployment of koin-bom project, to lets you automatically drive versions with Bills of Materials for Koin. This means that you don’t have to care anymore about each library update:

Additionally, this version includes many internal optimizations and important fixes:

• Parallel scope and arguments resolution, via thread local storage
• New loading options to drive eager instance creation
• Modules include tree optimization
• Better logs messages for Koin and Verify() API

And on the backend side, Koin is powering Ktor with new cool features 🚀

• Updated to the latest version of Ktor: 2.3.3
• better context isolation
• Request scope to allow injection for request duration

Compose is getting on fire with some new features 🔥

• Jetpack & JetBrains Compose compiler to 1.5.0
• Android lib update for compose — androidx.compose.runtime:runtime:1.5.0, androidx.navigation:navigation-compose:2.7.1
• Composable functionKoinIsolatedContext help run child composables using an isolated Koin context
• KoinContext & KoinAndroidContext with check over CompositionLocalProvider to avoid outdated context links

Those context APIs will help you run white-label applications and SDK really easily with Compose. All the composable hierarchies will benefit from the specified Koin, without overriding anything else:

Finally, Koin Annotations 1.3 is hitting the ground with serious game-changer stuff 🤘 Take a look at the whole release note here: https://github.com/InsertKoinIO/koin-annotations/releases/tag/1.3.0

In a nutshell:

• Koin annotations have now a BOM project: koin-annotations-bom (drive all koin-annotations modules)
• Multiplatform Compile time configuration check — https://insert-koin.io/docs/reference/koin-annotations/start#compile-safety---check-your-koin-config-at-compile-time-since-130
• Constructor with default arguments detection
• Unlock Kotlin/JS support
• new @ScopeId annotation to resolve dependency in a target scope

Just add a KSP option, to activate compile time safety:

The compiler will tell you if you forgot to declare a component in a few milliseconds:
