v0.16.2

[bitspittle]

This micro release contains a fix for a critical bug introduced in the v0.16.0 route generation algorithm that may apply to a small subset of users.

You will know if this is you if Kobweb v0.16.0 generates a site that won't start up, with the dev console complaining about an invalid path that doesn't start with a slash.

Important

Planning to upgrade? Review instructions in the README.

Due to the Compose / Kotlin target increase in v0.16.1, if you upgrade from v0.16.0 to this one, ensure that you also update to Compose v1.5.12 and Kotlin v1.9.22.

Who is affected? Specifically, if you use camel casing in your project's package, e.g. com.example.mySite, then v0.16.0 will break on your site.

// site/build.gradle.kts
plugins { /* ... */ }

group = "com.example.mySite" // <-- Camel casing here breaks in v0.16.0, fixed in v0.16.2+

// ...

Our new route generation algorithm should have only been constrained to the part of the package under the pages package, e.g. com.example.mySite.pages.exampleRoute should only have transformed exampleRoute and not mySite. Once we transformed the earlier part, however, we ended up generating a weird route that broke logic further down the line. Unfortunately, we missed this in our testing, and apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks to @TheDome0 for their quick bug report, letting us turn around on this issue quickly.

If you were not affected by this issue, updating is not required but it otherwise harmless.
