  • Static accessors for source sets from the default target hierarchy are now available in multiplatform projects

  • Concurrent marking for Kotlin/Native has been made possible in the garbage collector

  • The @ExperimentalWasmDsl annotation in Kotlin/Wasm has a new location

  • Support has been added for Gradle versions 8.6–8.8

  • A new option allows sharing JVM artifacts between Gradle projects as class files

  • The Compose compiler has been updated

  • Support for UUIDs has been added to the common Kotlin standard library

How to install Kotlin 2.0.20

Starting from IntelliJ IDEA 2023.3 and Android Studio Iguana (2023.2.1) Canary 15, the Kotlin plugin is distributed as a bundled plugin included in your IDE. This means that you can’t install the plugin from JetBrains Marketplace anymore.

To update to the new Kotlin version, change the Kotlin version to 2.0.20 in your build scripts.
