v2.0.0-rc01

Release Note: 2.0.0-rc01

Overview

I am pleased to announce the release candidate version 2.0.0-rc01 of the Nepali-Date-Picker library. This version brings you closer to the final stable release and includes important updates and improvements.

Key Updates

• Updated Dependencies: This release candidate incorporates JetBrains Compose version 1.7.0-beta01. This update ensures compatibility with newer features and APIs but note that JetBrains Compose is still in beta.

• Enhanced Stability: Significant improvements have been made to enhance the stability and performance of the library.

• Features: Many features are added and many ready to use defaults are provided for connivence of usage. Time support was added with other utilities and many more. The link between components are extended from the foundation level. Now all the arguments passed for every function is utilized to its best.

• Bug Fixes: Various bugs were fixed with performance improvement in side.

Important notes

• This is a release candidate, meaning it's potentially ready for stable release. I encourage you to test it thoroughly and report any issues you encounter.
• This library is almost stable with the release of version 2.0.0-rc01. However, it currently depends on JetBrains Compose 1.7.0-beta01 or later.
  I expect to release a fully stable version once JetBrains Compose reaches a stable release. I am monitoring updates and will make necessary changes in the final release. In the meantime, 2.0.0-rc01 is considered stable and highly reliable for production use.

If you encounter version conflicts using this library, you can solve this in two ways:

• Use an earlier version of the Nepali-Date-Picker library (2.0.0-beta06 or before) if stability is required and your project is using a lower version of JetBrains Compose or Android Compose.
• Alternatively, you can update your JetBrains Compose or Android Compose version to 1.7.0-beta01 or later to resolve the conflict.

Compatibility

• JetBrains Compose: 1.7.0-beta01 or later.
• Android Compose Foundation: Compatible with versions 1.7.0-beta01 or later.
