- [Compose Multiplatform resources are stored in the android assets now. This fixes Android Studio Preview and cases such as a rendering resource files in WebViews or Media Players](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/pull/4965)
### Navigation
- [Shared Element Transitions](https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/animation/shared-elements)
- [Safe Args in Navigation Compose](https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/design/type-safety)
### Web
- [`skiko.js` is redundant in case of K/Wasm Compose Multiplatform for web applications and it can be removed from index.html files to not load redundant files](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/pull/5134). `skiko.js` will be removed from the k/wasm distribution in the future releases. `skiko.js` is still needed in case of K/JS Compose Multiplatform for web apps
## Breaking changes
### iOS
- [`UIKitView` and `UIKitViewController` in `package androidx.compose.ui.interop` are deprecated](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1494). New API are mentioned in deprecation message. Deprecated invocations should work fine unless custom `onResize` is used, it is disallowed now and will print a warning.
- [Actual of expected `InteropView` on iOS is `UIResponder` now instead of `UIView`](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1489). It's the first common ancestor for `UIViewController` and `UIView`, both of which can be integrated using iOS interop APIs
- [The app will crash by default, if `CADisableMinimumFrameDurationOnPhone` is not set to true in `Info.plist`](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1451). Use newly added `ComposeUIViewControllerConfiguration.enforceStrictPlistSanityCheck` to opt-out of this behavior
### Desktop
- [`Modifier.onExternalDrag` has been deprecated in favor of the new `Modifier.dragAndDropTarget`](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1528)
### Android
- [Minimal supported AGP raised to 8.1.0](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/pull/4840)
### Resources
- [Deprecate resources in `compose.ui` in favour of the new resource library](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1457)
## Features
### Multiple Platforms

- [`LocalLifecycleOwner` moved from Compose UI to `lifecycle-runtime-compose` so that its Compose-based helper APIs can be used outside of Compose UI](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1449)
- [Skia is updated to m126](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1486)
- [Added `accessibilityEnabled: Boolean = true` argument to `UIKitView` and `UIKitViewController`](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1350)

- [Improvements in touches processing to detect if touches were meant to be delivered to interop views, or should be processed by Compose](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1440)
- [New `UIKitView` and `UIKitViewController` API in `package androidx.compose.ui.viewinterop`](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1494). Support of `onReset` to reuse the interop composable emitted node and avoid excessive native views reallocations, fine-grain touches strategy control (cooperative with explicit time delay, non-cooperative where no touches are received by Compose, ignoring touches)
- [Basic support for `BasicTextField(TextFieldState, ...)` on iOS](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1540)
### Desktop

- [Add public `moveEnabled` and `positionPercentage` setters in `SplitPaneState`](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/pull/3974)

- [The thickness of border resizers in undecorated windows and dialogs can now be controlled by passing a new `decoration` argument](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1505)
