I had heard that there was editor support, but haven’t seen it in IntelliJ. There is a warning (at least in the build.gradle) if there is a CVE against a library, but I didn’t see support for other version updates.
Do either of dependency tasks you used allow you to specify via flags or config to ignore alpha/beta/RC and/or only show patch, minor or major updates?
Good question thank you. They do! Gradle-versions-plugin has something complicated, but I’m told that refreshVersions can be configured with refreshVersions { enableBuildSrcLibs() rejectVersionIf { candidate.stabilityLevel.isLessStableThan(current.stabilityLevel) } }
Do you need to talk about it ;-? I do feel that Kotlin is going through a bit of a lull at the moment. We have to put up with constant tooling change for not perceived progress on the language front. The changes, Gradle aside, are rarely breaking though, so I tolerate them. Java is also evolving, but I don’t think we can say either won, and I still prefer Kotlin to Java or Scala for team productivity and fun.
Not sure which version this was added but at least in Android Studio, IDE shows a warning if update is available in toml

Hilarious intro 😂
@TimSchraepen thank you. It’s the only bit I script, so it’s good to know my efforts aren’t wasted
I got into Kotlin sometimes back, it's horrible having to upgrade every 3 months. no wonder Java won.
I pity my team for putting them through this
