Releases

1.0.8Latest

2026-03-20

• Fixed hot reload not applying composable argument changes (fontSize, text, color) in library modules.
• Synced annotation keys with stabilized ordinal-based keys, enabling targeted invalidation in library modules.

1.0.7

2026-03-20

• Fixed compiler plugin applying full-phase transformation to library modules, which broke remember{} state, animations, and callback references in composables defined in project library modules.
• Library modules now only receive safe key stabilization without structural changes.
• Resolves: ProgressBar animations not playing, Coil image loading failures, broken event handlers in library composables.

1.0.6

2026-03-17

• Adding new lambda expressions (remember, LaunchedEffect, event handlers) to existing composables now hot reloads without full rebuild.
• Targeted compositional graph invalidation with scope-level resolution for minimal recomposition overhead.
• Adaptive composition table capacity management for deeply nested layout hierarchies.
• Extended runtime class transformation pipeline with broader structural mutation support.
• Improved recovery from nested closure evolution in complex UI trees.

1.0.5

2026-03-15

• Extension functions, suspend functions, and vararg parameters are now fully supported for hot reload.
• Functions with more than 8 parameters are now hot reloadable via overflow array packing.
• ViewModel method isolation: business logic changes in ViewModel classes are instantly hot reloaded without full class redefinition.
• Data class property addition: adding new properties to data classes no longer triggers a full rebuild on API 30+.
• ART structural redefinition: method and field additions are handled natively via ART extensions on supported devices.
• Lambda method index remapping reduces unnecessary full rebuilds when editing lambda expressions.
• Proactive disposal of paused subcompositions prevents ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in LazyColumn, LazyGrid, and LazyStaggeredGrid during structural hot reload.
• Improved crash guard coverage for structural changes that can trigger delayed scroll crashes.
• ChangedFlagCleaner now handles isolated function bodies, fixing stale value reads after body only edits.

1.0.4

• MCP server: AI coding assistants can now trigger hot reload, capture snapshots, and read device logs via MCP protocol.
• License activation panel: streamlined in plugin license setup with clear activation flow.
• Snapshot timeline: improved slider controls and gallery layout.

1.0.3

2026-03-12

• Compiler plugin: stable group key generation eliminates slot table mismatches caused by source level edits.
• Compiler plugin: granular function level hot reload enables adding or removing composable functions without full rebuild.
• Compiler plugin: same file call optimization reduces structural changes when composables reference each other.
• Compiler plugin: automatic detection of value only vs structural edits for optimal state preservation.
• Improved compatibility with Navigation 3 and other framework level subcompositions.
• Snapshot panel: compact icon only toolbar for Start/Stop, Clear, and Export actions.
• Console panel: added Clear button to quickly reset the log view.

1.0.2

2026-03-10

• Faster reload cycles: skip unnecessary recompilation for unchanged classes.
• Improved state preservation: body only edits no longer reset remember{} or scroll positions.
• Better error recovery: reduced ANR risk during hot reload of complex layouts (LazyColumn, Scaffold, etc.).
• Smarter structural change detection: automatically distinguishes body only vs structural edits for optimal recovery strategy.
• Compiler plugin: position independent remember{} keys prevent state corruption across reloads.

1.0.0

2026-03-08

• Instant code reload: save a .kt file and see UI changes on the device in under a second.
• Resource hot reload: edit strings, colors, drawables, and dimensions without restarting the app.
• Screenshot snapshot: auto capture device screenshots after each reload with code diff tracking and gallery view.
• Multi module support with automatic module and build variant detection.
• State preservation: scroll positions, navigation, and rememberSaveable survive reloads.
• Auto recovery: detects stale APK or structural changes and rebuilds automatically.
• Live progress panel with device selector, connection indicator, and log export.
• Configurable settings under Tools > Compose HotSwan.
• Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+F10.
