v2.4.0

Added

• Anvil annotations are repeatable. Modules and bindings can now be contributed multiple times to different scopes. Multiple scopes can be merged in a single component, see #236.
• Rewrote many of the internals of Anvil and as a result Anvil is up to 41% faster due to heavy caching of already parsed code structures.
• Automatically publish snapshots for the main branch.
• Documented Anvil's internal, see here.

Changed

• Many of the internals of Anvil were rewritten and the non-stable APIs of the compiler-utils artifact have changed. Some highlights:
  • Instead of working with PSI or Descriptor APIs directly, you should work with the common ClassReference API.
  • ClassReference is a sealed class and either implemented with PSI or Descriptors, so it's easy to fallback to a specific API and add your own extensions.
  • The entry point to iterate through all classes used be classesAndInnerClass(module), use classAndInnerClassReferences() instead.

Removed

• Removed support for Kotlin 1.5.
• Removed deprecated APIs from the AnvilExtension in the gradle plugin.

Fixed

• Filter duplicate generated properties, see #565.
• Generate code for @ContributedSubcomponent when the trigger is created AFTER the contribution, see #478.
• Properly parse the FqName if the type reference is an inner class, see #479.
