Overall changes and improvements

The new withDeepLink extension function for Android

The new extensions function (withDeepLink) is now available for easier deep link handling on Android. Please see the update docs for more information.

Migration to kotlinx-serialization

The migration to kotlinx-serialization is now completed, the support of Parcelable/Parcelize is removed. See the updated docs for more information.

Changes in ChildNavState

The ChildNavState.Status enum (Generic Navigation) has changed and now includes STARTED variant. Please see the updated docs.

Removal of Value subscribe and unsubscribe methods

Previously deprecated methods Value#subscribe and Value#unsubscribe are removed. The Value#observe method returning Cancellation is renamed to subscribe. The Value.observe(Lifecycle, ...) method is also renamed to subscribe.

API to discard saved state on Android

New arguments in defaultComponentContext function

The defaultComponentContext function now accepts two new optional arguments:

• discardSavedState - a flag indicating whether any previously saved state should be discarded or not, default value is false. Can be useful for handling deep links in onCreate, so that the navigation state is not restored and initial state from the deep link is applied instead.
• isStateSavingAllowed - called before saving the state. When true then the state will be saved, otherwise it won't. Default value is true.

New arguments in retainedComponent function

The retainedComponent {} function got two new arguments with default values: discardSavedState and isStateSavingAllowed. The default behaviour is unchanged, though this change breaks binary compatibility.

Changes in Compose extensions

The extensions-compose-jetpack module is removed, the extensions-compose-jetbrains module is renamed to extensions-compose. Please update your dependencies accordingly and replace all com.arkivanov.decompose.extensions.compose.jetbrains.* imports with com.arkivanov.decompose.extensions.compose.*.

Compose for iOS, macOS and Web support

Now there is no need to use -compose-experimental version suffix. The support of Compose for iOS, macOS and Web is now published under the main version.

Compose for JS/Wasm

The new version supports Compose for Wasm (wasmJs target).

The new StackNavigator#pushToFront function

This release adds the new StackNavigator#pushToFront navigation function. See the updated docs for details.

Using Cancellation in NavigationSource

The NavigationSource#subscribe method now returns Cancellation, the NavigationSource#unsubscribe method is removed. This is both source and binary incompatible change. Though, the source compatibility is only affected if there is a manual implementation of the NavigationSource interface.

Moved PredictiveBackGestureOverlay and PredictiveBackGestureIcon

PredictiveBackGestureOverlay and PredictiveBackGestureIcon are moved from com.arkivanov.decompose.extensions.compose package to com.arkivanov.decompose.extensions.compose.stack.animation.predictiveback.

- import com.arkivanov.decompose.extensions.compose.PredictiveBackGestureOverlay
- import com.arkivanov.decompose.extensions.compose.PredictiveBackGestureIcon
+ import com.arkivanov.decompose.extensions.compose.stack.animation.predictiveback.PredictiveBackGestureOverlay
+ import com.arkivanov.decompose.extensions.compose.stack.animation.predictiveback.PredictiveBackGestureIcon

Changes in PredictiveBackAnimatable interface

The PredictiveBackAnimatable interface got the new method: suspend fun cancel(). This is required for animations when the predictive back gesture is cancelled.

Removed navigation source interfaces

The following interfaces were removed: StackNavigationSource, SlotNavigationSource and PagesNavigationSource. This change should be source compatible (meaning your project should still compile fine), unless you have custom implementations of those interfaces, in which case you have to implement the NavigationSource interface instead.

The improved ComponentContext API

This release brings improvements for the ComponentContext API. Please share your feedback or any issues you encounter. The idea is to make it easier to create and manage custom component contexts.

The change shouldn't break any source compatibility. However, if you have type parameters (generics) explicitly specified for functions childStack, childSlot, childPages or children, you will need to change your code in the following way. The rest should be compatible and require no changes in the code.

- val stack: Value<ChildStack<*, Child>> = childStack<Config, Child>(...)
+ val stack: Value<ChildStack<*, Child>> = childStack<_, Config, Child>(...)

If you have a custom component context

Since this version you can now remove custom navigation extensions like AppComponentContext.appChildStack, AppComponentContext.childAppContext, etc. You will also need to update your custom component context definitions. Please see the updated docs.

Changes in LifecycleController for desktop (JVM)

The LifecycleController function now accepts an optional WindowInfo argument. If supplied, the Lifecycle will pause/resume when the window's focus state changes.

ApplicationLifecycle is moved to Essenty

ApplicationLifecycle for iOS and tvOS has been moved to Essenty.

If you are using ApplicationLifecycle in Kotlin, you will need to update imports.

- import com.arkivanov.decompose.lifecycle.ApplicationLifecycle
+ import com.arkivanov.essenty.lifecycle.ApplicationLifecycle

If you are using ApplicationLifecycle in Swift, you will need to export Essenty lifecycle module to iOS framework.

The new androidPredictiveBackAnimatable API

This release add a new predictive back animation style - the animation that is used e.g. in system settings on Pixel devices. See the updated docs.

WebHistoryController on JS/Wasm

This release adds WebHistoryController for wasmJs target. It is shared with js target and now relies on kotlinx-serialization. The WebHistoryController#attach method got a new argument (serializer: KSerializer<C>), which is a breaking change.
