Scala 3.7.0 introduces critical improvements including enhanced Android compatibility by addressing strict type constraints with the Android Runtime (ART), which requires specific return types for SAM interfaces. Additionally, support for dependent fields in case classes boosts both expressiveness and type safety, enabling parameters to link via path-dependent types. The update stabilizes the @publicInBinary annotation for library maintainers to ensure binary compatibility with inline methods. Furthermore, Scala 3.7.0 introduces preview features, marking new implementations that may undergo refinements before becoming stable.
The compiler fix in Scala 3.7.0 enhances compatibility with Android by box-returning types in SAM interfaces, addressing stricter ART constraints.
Scala 3.7.0 introduces dependent fields in case classes, improving expressiveness and type safety through path-dependent types.
Library maintainers benefit from the stabilization of @publicInBinary, ensuring binary compatibility when inline methods access non-public members.
Preview features in Scala 3.7.0 provide the framework for fully implemented SIP-approved elements that may see minor refinements before stabilization.
