12 * Fix: Workaround for [KT-18706][kt-18706]: KotlinPoet now generates import aliases without backticks (#1920).
13
14   ```kotlin
15   // before, doesn't compile due to KT-18706
16   import com.example.one.`$Foo` as `One$Foo`
17   import com.example.two.`$Foo` as `Two$Foo`
18
19   // now, compiles
20   import com.example.one.`$Foo` as One__Foo
21   import com.example.two.`$Foo` as Two__Foo

39## Version 1.17.0
40
41Thanks to [@jisungbin][jisungbin], [@hfhbd][hfhbd], [@evant][evant], [@sgjesse][sgjesse], [@sebek64][sebek64] for
42contributing to this release.
43
44_2024-05-24_
45
46* Change: kotlinx-metadata 0.9.0. Note that the `KotlinClassMetadata.read` is deprecated in 0.9.0 and replaced with
47  `readStrict` (#1830).
48  * Note: we now also provide `lenient` parameters to map to the underlying `readStrict()` and `readLenient()` calls
49    (#1766).
50  * We have also removed various `Class`/`TypeElement`/`Metadata`-to-`KmClass` APIs from the public API, as these are
51    trivial to write now with kotlinx-metadata's newer APIs and allows us to focus the API surface area of this artifact
52    better (#1891).
53* New: Supertype list wraps to one-per-line if the primary constructor spans multiple lines (#1866).
54* New: Extract `MemberSpecHolder` interface for constructs that can hold `PropertySpec`s and `FunSpec`s and their
55  builders (#1877).
56* New: `joinToCode` variant which operates on any type, but requires a transform lambda to convert each element into a
57  `CodeBlock` (#1874).
58* New: Support annotation type arguments in `KSAnnotation.toAnnotationSpec()` (#1889).
59* Fix: Prevent name clashes between a function in class and a function call in current scope (#1850).
60* Fix: Fix extension function imports (#1814).
61* Fix: Omit implicit modifiers on `FileSpec.scriptBuilder` (#1813).
62* Fix: Fix trailing newline in `PropertySpec` (#1827).
63* Fix: `KSAnnotation.toAnnotationSpec` writes varargs in place instead of making them an array to work around a Kotlin
64  issue with `OptIn` annotations (#1833).
65* Fix: `MemberName`s without a package are now correctly imported (#1841)
66* Fix: Throw if primary constructor delegates to other constructors (#1859).
67* Fix: Aliased imports with nested class (#1876).
68* Fix: Check for error types in `KSType.toClassName()` (#1890).
69* Fix: Support generating a single import for overloaded `MemberName`s (#1909).

103
104_2023-11-19_
105
106 * Fix: Fix a regression introduced by #1637, where a superfluous newline is added to a type's KDoc
107 if it has a primary constructor with no docs (#1727).
108

114[@martinbonnin][martinbonnin], [@mcarleio][mcarleio] for contributing to this release.
115
116In this release the `:kotlinpoet` module has been converted to a Kotlin Multiplatform module
117(#1654), though for now it only supports the JVM target. **Important**: unless you're building
118with Gradle, you will now need to depend on the `kotlinpoet-jvm` artifact, instead of `kotlinpoet` -
119see [Downloads](index.md#download) for instructions.
120
121 * New: Kotlin 1.9.20.
122 * New: KSP 1.9.20-1.0.14.
123 * New: Extract `TypeSpecHolder` interface for constructs that can hold a TypeSpec and their builders (#1723).
124 * New: Expose relative path from `FileSpec` (#1720).
125 * New: Return the generated path from `FileSpec.writeTo()`. (#1514).
126 * New: Remove default compatibility from unstable types (#1662).
127 * New: Deprecate `TypeSpec.expectClassBuilder()` and `TypeSpec.valueClassBuilder()` (#1589).
128 * New: Add option to convert `KSAnnotation` to `AnnotationSpec` while omitting default values (#1538).
129 * New: Add `FileSpec.builder` convenience for `MemberName` (#1585).
130 * Fix: Set `DecimalFormatSymbols.minusSign` for consistency across locales (#1658).
131 * Fix: Fix link to incremental KSP in KDoc (#1638).
132 * Fix: Emit primary constructor KDoc (#1637).
133 * Change: kotlinx-metadata 0.7.0. This is a breaking change for users of the `:kotlinpoet-metadata`
134   module, as most `Flags`-API extensions have been removed in favor of the now-available first-party versions.
135
136## Version 1.14.2
137
138_2023-05-30_
139
140 * Fix: Fix one more missing API in binary compatibility override in `Annotatable.Builder` (#1581).

143
144_2023-05-29_
145
146 * Fix: Restore ABI stability for annotatable and documentable builders (#1580).
147
148## Version 1.14.0
149
150_2023-05-29_
151
152Thanks to [@Omico][Omico], [@drawers][drawers], [@RBusarow][RBusarow] for contributing to this release.
153
154 * New: Kotlin 1.8.21.
155 * New: KSP 1.8.21-1.0.11.
156 * New: Enable default methods in Java bytecode (#1561).
157 * New: Group Kotlin and Renovate updates together in Renovate (#1562).
158 * New: Extract trait interface for annotatable constructs and their builders (#1564).
159 * New: Extract trait interface for documentable constructs and their builders (#1571).
160 * New: Document the usage of `STAR` (#1572).
161 * New: Add builder for `FunSpec` which accepts a `MemberName` (#1574).
162 * Fix: Omit public modifier on override function or constructor parameters (#1550).
163 * Fix: Correct handling of members in various types (#1558).
164 * Fix: Function return types now default to `Unit` unless explicitly set (#1559).
165
166    Previously, when `FunSpec` didn't have a return type specified and an expression body was produced, no return
167    type would be emitted. However, starting from `1.14.0`, KotlinPoet will not add `Unit` as a return type in such
168    cases. In order to correct the generated output, you are to specify the actual return type of the `FunSpec`.
169
170    Before `1.14.0`, if omitted, no return type is produced:
171    ```kotlin
172    val funSpec = FunSpec.builder("foo")
173      .addStatement("return 1")
174      .build()
175    ```
176    ```kotlin
177    public fun foo() = 1
178    ```
179
180    From `1.14.0`, the return type defaults to `Unit` if not otherwise set:
181    ```kotlin
182    val funSpec = FunSpec.builder("foo")
183      .addStatement("return 1")
184      .build()
185    ```
186    ```kotlin
187    public fun foo(): Unit = 1 // ❌
188    ```
189
190    To fix it, explicitly define the return type:
191    ```diff
192     val funSpec = FunSpec.builder("foo")
193    +  .returns(INT)
194       .addStatement("return 1")
195       .build()
196    ```
197    ```kotlin
198    public fun foo(): Int = 1 // ✅
199    ```
200
201    Additionally, as part of this change, `FunSpec.returnType` has changed to be non-nullable. This is a source- and
202    binary-compatible change, although if you were performing null-checks then new warnings may appear after upgrade.
203
204 * Fix: Append nested class names to alias during name lookup (#1568).
205 * Fix: Allow PropertySpec with context receivers and without getter or setter (#1575).
206

248 * Fix: Handle fake nested types with platform mapped parents (#1472).
249 * Fix: Fix `TypeName` equals (#1477).

273
274## Version 1.11.0
275
276_2022-03-24_
277
278Thanks to [@liujingxing][liujingxing] and [@BoD][BoD] for contributing to this release.
279
280* New: Kotlin scripting support in `FileSpec`.
281
282```kotlin
283val spec = FileSpec.scriptBuilder("Taco")
284  .addStatement("println(%S)", "hello world!")
285  .addKotlinDefaultImports()
286  .build()
287```
288
289Generates a `Taco.kts` file with the following contents:
290
291```kotlin
292println("hello world!")
293```
294
295* New: Emit trailing commas for multi-line parameters and annotations.
296* New: Add `KSAnnotation.toAnnotationSpec()`.
297* New: Add `Unit` and `CharSequence` conversions in `javapoet-interop`.
298* New: Add support for default imports in `FileSpec`.
299  * This is particularly oriented at scripting support, but can also be used in non-script files.
300* New: Update to Kotlin 1.6.10.

304* Fix: Enforce only allowed parameter modifiers in `ParameterSpec` (i.e. `crossinline`, `vararg`, and `noinline`).
305* Fix: Fix `CodeBlock`s in class delegation getting `toString()`'d instead of participating in code writing.
306* Fix: Error when attempting to convert KSP error types (i.e. if `KSType.isError` is true) to `TypeName`.
307
308## Version 1.10.2
309
310_2021-10-22_
311
312Thanks to [@glureau][glureau] and [@goooler][goooler] for contributing to this release.
313
314* New: Switch `AnnotationSpec.get()` to use the `arrayOf()` syntax instead of `[]`.
315* Fix: Don't wrap aliasing imports with long package names.
316* Fix: Don't wrap type names inside line comments.
317* Fix: Ignore Java's `@Deprecated` annotations on synthetic methods for annotations.
318
319## Version 1.10.1
320
321_2021-09-21_
322
323Thanks to [@evant][evant] for contributing to this release.
324
325 * Fix: Correct generation of typealiases with type args in KSP interop.
326 * Fix: Add missing default `TypeParameterResolver.EMPTY` argument to
327   `fun KSTypeArgument.toTypeName` in KSP interop.
328
329## Version 1.10.0
330
331_2021-09-20_
332
333Thanks to [@martinbonnin][martinbonnin], [@idanakav][idanakav], [@goooler][goooler], and
334[@anandwana001][anandwana001] for contributing to this release.
335
336 * New: Add a new [KSP][ksp] interop artifact. See [docs][ksp-interop-docs] for more details.
337 * New: Add a new [JavaPoet][javapoet] interop artifact. See [docs][javapoet-interop-docs] for more
338   details.
339 * New: Allow copying a `ParameterizedTypeName` with new type arguments via new `copy()` overload.
340 * kotlinx-metadata artifacts have been consolidated to a single `com.squareup:kotlinpoet-metadata`
341   maven artifact. The previous `kotlinpoet-metadata-*` subartifacts are no longer published.
342 * New: `TypeNameAliasTag` has been moved to KotlinPoet's main artifact under `TypeAliasTag`, for
343   reuse with KSP interop.
344 * `ImmutableKm*` classes have been removed. They were deemed to be a needless abstraction over the base `kotlinx-metadata` Km types. All usages of these should be substituted with their non-immutable base types.
345 * Fix: Fix self-referencing type variables in metadata parsing.
346 * Fix: Use delicate APIs rather than noisy logging ones when converting annotation mirrors in
347   `AnnotationSpec.get`.
348 * Fix: Update error message when metadata cannot be read to a more actionable one.
349 * Fix: Avoid escaping already escaped strings.
350 * Add docs about `kotlin-reflect` usage.
351 * Avoid using kotlin-reflect for looking up `Unit` types where possible.
352 * Test all the way up to JDK 17.
353 * Update Kotlin to 1.5.31.
354
355## Version 1.9.0
356
357_2021-06-22_
358
359 * New: Kotlin 1.5.10.
360 * New: Previously deprecated API to interop with Java reflection and Mirror API have been
361   un-deprecated and marked with `@DelicateKotlinPoetApi` annotation.
362 * New: `CodeBlock.Builder.withIndent` helper function.
363 * New: Allow changing initializers and default values in `ParameterSpec.Builder` and
364   `PropertySpec.Builder` after they were set.
365 * New: `MemberName.isExtension` property that instructs KotlinPoet to always import the member,
366   even if conflicting declarations are present in the same scope.
367 * Fix: Escape member names that only contain underscores.
368 * Fix: Always emit an empty primary constructor if it was set via `TypeSpec.primaryConstructor`.
369
370## Version 1.8.0
371
372_2021-03-29_
373
374 * New: Kotlin 1.4.31.
375 * New: Add `KModifier.VALUE` to support `value class` declarations.
376 * New: Allow using a custom `ClassLoader` with `ReflectiveClassInspector`.
377 * New: Update to kotlinx-metadata 0.2.0.
378 * Fix: Ensure `ImmutableKmProperty.toMutable()` copies `fieldSignature`.
379 * Fix: Prevent name clashes between an imported `MemberName` and a member in current scope.
380 * Fix: Prevent name clashes between a type and a supertype with the same name.
381 * Fix: Don't generate empty body for `expect` and `external` functions.
382 * Fix: Don't allow `expect` or `external` classes to initialize supertypes.
383 * Fix: Disallow delegate constructor calls in `external` classes.
384 * Fix: Allow non-public primary constructors inside inline/value classes.
385 * Fix: Allow init blocks inside inline/value classes.
386 * Fix: Omit redundant `abstract` modifiers on members inside interfaces
387
388## Version 1.7.2
389
390_2020-10-20_
391
392 * New: Detect expression bodies with `return·` and `throw·` prefixes.
393 * Fix: Omit visibility modifiers on custom accessors.
394
395## Version 1.7.1
396
397_2020-10-15_
398
399 * Fix: 1.7.0 was published using JDK 11 which set `"org.gradle.jvm.version"` to `"11"` in Gradle
400   metadata, making it impossible to use the library on earlier Java versions (see
401   [#999][issue-999]). 1.7.1 is published with JDK 8, which fixes the problem.
402
403## Version 1.7.0
404
405_2020-10-14_
406
407 * New: Kotlin 1.4.10.
408 * New: Generated code is now compatible with the [explicit API mode][explicit-api-mode] by default.
409 * New: Escape soft and modifier keywords, in addition to hard keywords.
410 * New: Improve enum constants generation for cleaner diffs.
411 * New: Disallow setters on immutable properties.
412 * New: Ensure trailing new lines in expression bodies.
413 * New: Ensure trailing new lines after parameterless custom setters.
414 * Fix: Don't auto-convert properties with custom accessors to primary constructor properties.
415 * Fix: Don't allow parameterless setters with body.
416 * Fix: Prevent auto-wrapping spaces inside escaped keywords.
417
418## Version 1.6.0
419
420_2020-05-28_
421
422 * New: Deprecate Mirror API integrations.
423
424   Mirror API integrations, such as `TypeElement.asClassName()` and
425   `FunSpec.overriding(ExecutableElement)`, are being deprecated in this release. These KotlinPoet
426   APIs are most often used in annotation processors. Since kapt runs annotation processors over
427   stubs, which are Java files, a lot of the Kotlin-specific information gets lost in translation
428   and cannot be accessed by KotlinPoet through the Mirror API integrations. Examples include:
429
430   - Alias types, such as `kotlin.String`, get converted to their JVM representations, such as
431     `java.lang.String`.
432   - Type nullability information is not accessible.
433   - `suspend` functions are seen as simple functions with an additional `Continuation` parameter.
434
435   The correct solution is to switch to [KotlinPoet-metadata][kotlinpoet-metadata] or
436   [KotlinPoet-metadata-specs][kotlinpoet-metadata-specs] API, which fetches Kotlin-specific
437   information from the `@Metadata` annotation and produces correct KotlinPoet Specs. We may explore
438   adding new metadata-based alternatives to the deprecated APIs in the future.
439
440 * New: Kotlin 1.3.72.
441 * New: Improve `MemberName` to support operator overloading.
442 * New: Support generics in `AnnotationSpec`.
443 * New: Add support for functional interfaces.
444 * New: Make more `FunSpec.Builder` members public for easier mutation.

450## Version 1.5.0
451
452_2020-01-09_
453
454 KotlinPoet now targets JDK8, which means that executing a build that includes KotlinPoet as a
455 dependency on a machine with an older version of JDK installed won't work. **This has no effect on
456 the code that KotlinPoet produces**: the code can still be compiled against JDK6, as long as it
457 doesn't use any features that were introduced in newer releases.
458
459 * New: Kotlin 1.3.61.
460 * New: Add support for processing FileFacades in KotlinPoet-metadata.
461 * New: Add support for inner nested and companion objects on annotation classes.
462 * New: Improve error messages for mismatched open/close statement characters.
463 * New: Tag `AnnotationSpec`s with the annotation mirror when available.
464 * New: Include annotations on enum entries when creating `TypeSpec`s from metadata.
465 * Fix: Fix metadata parsing for types.
466 * Fix: Allow file names that are Kotlin keywords.
467 * Fix: Properly escape type alias names with backticks.
468 * Fix: Allow creating `TypeSpec`s with names that can be escaped with backticks.
469 * Fix: Properly escape enum constant names with backticks.
470 * Fix: Maintain proper ordering of properties and initializers when emitting a `TypeSpec`.
471   **Note**: with this change, any properties declared after any initializer blocks will not be
472   added to the primary constructor and will instead be emitted inside the `TypeSpec` body.
473 * Fix: Don't emit a leading new line if type KDoc is empty but parameter KDocs are present.
474 * Fix: Ensure KotlinPoet-metadata resolves package names properly.
475

506## Version 1.4.0
507
508_2019-09-24_
509
510 * New: This release introduces the new KotlinPoet-metadata API that makes it easy to introspect
511   Kotlin types and build KotlinPoet Specs based on that data.
512
513   The strategy for type introspection is driven by `ClassInspector`, which is a basic interface for
514   looking up JVM information about a given Class. This optionally is used by the
515   `toTypeSpec()`/`toFileSpec()` APIs in `kotlinpoet-metadata-specs` artifact to inform about
516   Classes with information that isn’t present in metadata (overrides, JVM modifiers, etc). There
517   are two batteries-included implementations available in `ReflectiveClassInspector`
518   (for reflection) and `ElementsClassInspector` (for the javax Elements API in annotation
519   processing). These implementations are available through their respective
520   `kotlinpoet-classinspector-*` artifacts. For more information refer to the
521   [KotlinPoet-metadata-specs README][kotlinpoet-metadata-specs].
522
523   At the time of this release the API is in experimental mode and has to be opted into via the
524   `KotlinPoetMetadataPreview` annotation.

533 * New: `FunSpec.Builder.clearBody()` helper method.
534 * Fix: Properly escape enum constant names.
535 * Fix: Ensure trailing newlines in KDoc and function bodies.
536 * Fix: `TypeVariableName`s with empty bounds will now default to `Any?`.
537 * Fix: Don't emit parens for primary constructors.
538 * Fix: `ClassName`s with empty simple names are not allowed anymore.
539 * Fix: Throw if names contain illegal characters that can't be escaped with backticks.
