Kotlin Symbol Processors (KSP)
KSP becomes stable. JetBrains said that KSP better understands the syntax of Kotlin and does not need to take extra steps compare to KAPT.
The main news is that KAPT switch into support mode. No features or improvements. New features will only be in KSP and other Kotlin compiler plugins. They didn't say anything about KSP support in IDE.
