⚠️ WARNING

In this release, the behavior of range for access has been changed. The previous behavior of start..end returned [start, end - 1]. Now start..end will return [start, end].

For example:

val a = mk.arange<Int>(start = 0, stop = 5) // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

/*
* legacy: a[1..3] returns [1, 2]
*/
a[1..3] // returns [1, 2, 3]

in order to use the range as before you can:

• start..(end - 1)
• start until end
• start..<end - new in kotlin 1.7.20, more in the blog

Motivation

I made a mistaken previous decision in order to make a short and convenient entry. And also satisfy users from python. But with the development of Kotlin and the addition of open-ended ranges, this was no longer necessary. This way the new behavior will be consistent with kotlin stdlib, and IDEA hints like will no longer be misleading.
