Starting with 0.6.0 release, Kotlin team is focused on revisiting and improving kotlinx-metadata-jvm API, with an aim to provide a stable release
in the near future. As a result, the API was reshaped, with cuts here and there, so we've provided a migration guide to help you with updates.
## Migrating from 0.7.0 to 0.8.0 and above
Starting with the 2.0 release, the library is considered stable and will be evolving in a backwards compatible way.
## Migrating from 0.9.0 to stable (2.x.x)
Starting with Kotlin 2.0, kotlin-metadata-jvm library is promoted to stable, and is a part of Kotlin distribution now.
Therefore, library coordinates and package were changed.
To migrate, one needs to perform three simple steps:
1. Make sure that you do not use any deprecated APIs, as they were removed completely in the stable version.
To migrate from deprecated APIs, study the migration guide for previous versions.
If you used version lower than 0.9.0 before, we advise you to perform two step migration: first, upgrade to 0.9.0, and after
resolving all deprecation errors, upgrade to stable 2.x.
2. Change coordinates of the library in your dependency declarations. The new coordinates are `org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-metadata-jvm`.
For example: `implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-metadata-jvm:2.0.0-RC")`
3. Update imports in your code so they are pointing to correct package.
Change `import kotlinx.metadata` to `import kotlin.metadata`, `import kotlinx.metadata.jvm` to `import kotlin.metadata.jvm`, and so on.
As declarations themselves were not changed, this should be straightforward.
## Migrating from 0.8.0 to 0.9.0
There are no new deprecated or removed APIs in 0.9.0. The main difference with 0.8.0 is that deprecations that were warnings
report errors in 0.9.0. Study the migration guide for previous versions to learn how to get rid of usages of deprecated APIs.
