April 2025 performance-focused month for google/ksp. Key features delivered include JVM binary class generation in KSP2 with an integration test, and API/maintenance improvements across Kotlin, KSP, and aaKotlinBase dev builds to align with the latest Kotlin Analysis API. Enhanced KSP API now supports destructuring declarations in function bodies (mapping KaDestructuringDeclarationSymbol to KSDeclarations) and incremental build stability for Android via KotlinPlatformType.androidJvm. Additional stability improvements include excluding KAPT outputs from classpath snapshots and updating docs/CI to reflect the stable KSP2 release and release workflow. Documentation and tests were strengthened with a focused rewrite of libOrigins tests to improve exception reporting.
