Changes since 1.8.1

Fixes

Multiple Platforms

• Fixed TextField(TextFieldValue) when used with a visual transformation with a non-identity offset mapping (potentially even crashing) #2130

• Fixed a memory leak and performance degradation when ComposeUiFlags.isRectTrackingEnabled set to true (by default) #2123

• Fixed caret placement near glyphs if glyphs are compound symbols and part of them are non-spacing marks #2155

• Support Preview parameters for Previews in common source sets in IJ and AS. Note: IDEs also need to implement support on their end. Please check the respective IDE release notes to confirm this is supported #5323

  Example usage:

  import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable
  import org.jetbrains.compose.ui.tooling.preview.Preview
  import org.jetbrains.compose.ui.tooling.preview.PreviewParameter
  import org.jetbrains.compose.ui.tooling.preview.PreviewParameterProvider
  class MyPreviewParameterProvider : PreviewParameterProvider<String> {
    override val values = sequenceOf("Hello, Compose!", "Hello, World!")
  }
  /**
   * This function will generate two preview images with different texts.
   */
  @Preview
  @Composable
  fun MyPreview(@PreviewParameter(MyPreviewParameterProvider::class) text: String) {
    Text(text)
  }
