Hello,

It's been a while since we've done an official Kaluga release. The project is not dead (far from it) but focus has been on releasing internal Alpha builds for a while. That being said, it's long past time to do a proper Kaluga release. So without further ado, here is 1.6.0:

Changelog

General

• Upgraded to Kotlin 2.3.0
• Most other libraries should be targeting their latest release. Among them: Atomicfu, Coroutines, Compose, Serialization and many mode

Architecture

• Fixed Unsafe use of iterator from concurrent collection in Observable through forEach #843

Base

• The Decimal class has been significantly rewritten as it had inconsistencies between platforms when created from a double. Casting from Double to Decimal no longer rounds to the "nicest" value, improving performance. If you need an exact value, it is recommended to cast using a string. #898
• Decimal 'toString' has been replaced by 'stringValue'.

Bluetooth

• Requiring location permissions must now explicitly be set in Scanner Settings
• Connect now returns whether the connection was established successfully
• ConnectionSettings adds a dataLogger to log all data changes #860 #866
• Request MTU sequentially #870
• Support Write without response commands #881

Links

• Improved Link Parsing #832

Location

• Background location for iOS #897 (contribution by @jiacoALE)

Media

• Support for Low Latency Audio using SoundPlayer #854

Resources

• loadFont no longer suspending #834

Scientific

• Converter functions have been moved to the scientific-converters module. #713
• Support custom scientific units #713
• Added multiple converter methods #857 #858 #859
• Scientific Value now defaults to storing its value as a Decimal. This may impact performance.
