Kotlin 1.3.60 1. New Java-to-Kotlin Converter The tool for converting Java codes to Kotlin was somewhat complicated. There were various corner-case issues that app development agencies were required to overcome while creating a Kotlin-based solution. the converter will be used by default; cutting down the hassles of developers.

For example, if you pass null as a String argument to a foo function in Java. On converting the function and its usage together, the covered Kotlin function will accept a nullable String? as an argument:Visit: https://d3nmt5vlzunoa1.cloudfront.net/kotlin/files/2019/11/j2k.gif www.techtic.com | info@techtic.com

Kotlin 1.3.60 2. Robust Support for IntelliJ IDEA Scratches and Worksheets redesigned and improved Scratch files, which let you perform small experiments with your codebase. Now it’s easier to see the results, which are shown in a different window. The multiline output is wrapped, and the output for the given line is highlighted:

Kotlin 1.3.60 2. Robust Support for IntelliJ IDEA Debugging Improvements You can now set function breakpoints in the Kotlin code. The debugger will then stop execution on entering or exiting the corresponding function.

Kotlin 1.3.60 3. Kotlin/Native Better Performance Kotlin version 1.3.60 has also come up with several improvements in terms of code optimization. A result of which is that interface calls will be 5x times and type checks will be 50x times faster than before.

4. Kotlin/JS Source Maps In the world of Kotlin/JS, new changes are landing that focus on your quality of life and simplifying working with the new org.jetbrains.kotlin.js plugin, most notably support for source maps and improvements for test runners.

Kotlin 1.3.60 5. Kotlin/Multiplatform Lot of focus to MPP tooling, so if anything didn’t quite work the way you expected in the past, please give it another try!

This one comes with a lot of improvements/fixes to the usability within the IDE. In particular, we’ve significantly enhanced some “create expect” quick-fixes.

6. Eclipse IDE plugin Kotlin-eclipse plugin now supports experimentally incremental compilation for single modules. To try it, select the “incremental compilation” checkbox in the Kotlin | Building section of Eclipse properties. It’s still an experimental feature, so we will be happy to hear any feedback you may have!
