• Projects released with Kotlin 2.0 require KGP 2.0.0 or newer to be consumed (Idb6b5)

• Breaking change: clickable, combinedClickable, selectable, toggleable, and triStateToggleable overloads without an Indication parameter now only support IndicationNodeFactory instances provided using LocalIndication. This change will apply when you recompile your usages of these modifiers using this version of Compose. Binary / transitive dependencies are not affected. If you are providing a deprecated Indication implementation to LocalIndication, and using these APIs, this will introduce a crash at runtime. This behavior change...

androidx.media3:media3-*:1.6.1 is released. Version 1.6.1 contains these commits.

• Common Library:
  • Add PlaybackParameters.withPitch(float) method for easily copying a PlaybackParameters with a new pitch value (#2257).
• ExoPlayer:
  • Fix issue where media item transition fails due to recoverable renderer error during initialization of the next media item (#2229).
  • Fix issue where ProgressiveMediaPeriod throws an IllegalStateException as PreloadMediaSource attempts to call its getBufferedDurationUs() before it is prepared (#2315).
  • Fix sending CmcdData in manifest requests for DASH, HLS, and SmoothStreaming (#2253).
  • Ensure AdPlaybackState.withAdDurationsUs(long[][]) can be used after ad groups have been removed. The user still needs to pass in an array of durations for removed ad groups which can be empty or null (#2267).
• Extractors:
  • MP4: Parse alternate_group from the tkhd box and expose it as an Mp4AlternateGroupData entry in each track's Format.metadata (#2242).
• Audio:
  • Fix offload issue where the position might get stuck when playing a playlist of short content (#1920).
• Session:
  • Lower aggregation timeout for platform MediaSession callbacks from 500 to 100 milliseconds and add an experimental setter to allow apps to configure this value.
  • Fix issue where notifications reappear after they have been dismissed by the user (#2302).
  • Fix a bug where the session returned a single-item timeline when the wrapped player is actually empty. This happened when the wrapped player doesn't have COMMAND_GET_TIMELINE available while COMMAND_GET_CURRENT_MEDIA_ITEM is available and the wrapped player is empty (#2320).
  • Fix a bug where calling MediaSessionService.setMediaNotificationProvider is silently ignored after other interactions with the service like setForegroundServiceTimeoutMs (#2305).
• UI:
  • Enable PlayerSurface to work with ExoPlayer.setVideoEffects and CompositionPlayer.
  • Fix bug where PlayerSurface can't be recomposed with a new Player.
• HLS extension:
  • Fix issue where chunk duration wasn't set in CmcdData for HLS media, causing an assertion failure when processing encrypted media segments (#2312).
• RTSP extension:
  • Add support for URI with RTSPT scheme as a way to configure the RTSP session to use TCP (#1484).
• Cast extension:
  • Add support for playlist metadata (#2235).
