v0.19.1

[bitspittle]

This release adds a few miscellaneous features and bumps up the Kotlin target to 2.0.20.

Important

Planning to upgrade? Review instructions in the README.

The biggest feature introduced in this release is callouts.

Note

GitHub also has callouts (they call them Alerts) and this is an example of one them: a note!

There are also alerts for tips, cautionary points, warnings, and important messages.

Kobweb includes all the alerts that GitHub exposes and a few others. Please check out the README for more information about all of the options.

I updated the handful of articles in my blog site to use callouts. If you'd like to see them in action, you can find a few examples of them in this post about fullstack Kobweb for example.

Changes

Frontend

• Fixed an issue where working with Modifier.displayIfAtLeast(Breakpoint) and that family of methods would still result in elements flickering when a page first loaded.
• Tweaked a handful of composable names to be more consistent with the official API Guidelines for Jetpack Compose.
  • For example, deferRender -> Deferred, and a few others.
  • It's not expected that the average user will even notice, but this may result in some deprecation notices for some users.
• Removed a timer-related hack which was used to scroll to page fragments.
  • At the very least, the code is clean now; at best, there may have been the occasional case where the scroll operation wouldn't work and it should be a lot more robust now.

Silk

• New Callout widget

Markdown

• Added support for creating callouts

Gradle

• Fix a handful of cases in lesser used tasks that were still not configuration cache compatible.

Thanks!

In this release, we'd like to extend our appreciation to @okarmazin, who has been nothing but kind to the project in the Kotlin slack and has been going through the new user experience, filing bugs, and helping us by cleaning up mistakes and gaps in our README. Thank you very much for the support!
