v1.9.0

This release of rules_kotlin comes with some breaking changes:

• The build_bazel_rules_android repository namespace has been renamed to rules_android. Please update your WORKSPACE files to avoid downloading these rules multiple times! #1047
• In order to support Bzlmod, the Kotlin and KSP targets have been moved out of the io_bazel_rules_kotlin repository and into rules_kotlin. If you are referencing any targets under @com_github_jetbrains_kotlin//... in your build files you will need to replace them with @rules_kotlin//kotlin/compiler:.... #1014

Using Bzlmod with Bazel 6+

Note: Bzlmod support inside of rules_kotlin is still very much considered experimental. Please report any issues that you run into!

1. Enable with common --enable_bzlmod in .bazelrc.
2. Add to your MODULE.bazel file:

bazel_dep(name = "rules_kotlin", version = "1.9.0")
