Koin 4.0 released
Koin 4.0 brings major updates with Kotlin 2.0.20 as a new baseline, focusing on Kotlin Multiplatform, Android, and Compose. Key improvements include true UUID generation across platforms, internal optimizations with better performance, a revamped ViewModel API now supporting multiplatform, and Compose lifecycle handling. The release also introduces the experimental “Koin-Fu” project to rethink the DSL and AndroidX Startup support for faster app loading. Deprecated APIs have been removed or replaced for a cleaner experience.
Just be aware of funky Koin defaults
