Changelog

Note: the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA – 2021.2 – doesn’t support Kotlin 1.5.30 previews. If you have already upgraded to this version, you can easily install the previous version (2021.1) using the JetBrains Toolbox App and try Kotlin 1.5.30-RC in that version.
Time to upgrade to IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2, Kotlin Plugin 1.5.30 is released!
