## Dependencies
This version of Compose Multiplatform is based on the next Jetpack Compose libraries:
See [the announce](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2024/01/whats-new-in-jetpack-compose-january-24-release.html) of Jetpack Compose 1.6. Notes:
- `Changes to default font padding` affects only Android target.
- `Added support for selection by mouse, including text.` concerns only Android. Other targets supported it before 1.6.
- Some of the features are not ported yet (they will be ported in the next versions):
- [Support for nonlinear font scaling](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues/4305)
- [Multipaltform Drag and drop](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues/4235). It works only for Android right now. For desktop there is the old API `Modifier.onExternalDrag`
