corda/serialization-1.2/README.md

This is a Kotlin 1.2 version of the `serialization` module, which is consumed by the `verifier` module, for verifying contracts written in
Kotlin 1.2. This is just a "shell" module which uses the existing the code in `serialization` and compiles it with the 1.2 compiler.

To allow `serialization` to benefit from new APIs introduced since 1.2, those APIs much be copied into the `core-1.2` module with the same
`kotlin` package.
ENT-11056: Compile the external verifier using Kotlin 1.2 (#7622) This requires Kotlin 1.2 versions of core and serialization (core-1.2 and serialization-1.2 respectively), which are just "shell" modules and which compile the existing source code with Kotlin 1.2. The 1.2 plugin does not work with the current version of Gradle and so the 1.2 compiler has to be called directly. Now with two versions of Kotlin in the code base, each module needs to have its version manually specified to ensure a clean separation. Otherwise, the default Kotlin version can override 1.2 when needed. Some of the code was tidied-up or improved to enable it to be cross-compiled. For post-1.2 APIs being used, they have been copied into core-1.2 with the same method signatures. OpenTelemetryComponent was moved to node-api, along with the dependency, to avoid also having a 1.2 version for the opentelemetry module. 2024-01-02 17:02:20 +00:00			This is a Kotlin 1.2 version of the `serialization` module, which is consumed by the `verifier` module, for verifying contracts written in
