Jetpack Compose Newsletter

Issue #304 of the jetc.dev newsletter covers the latest Jetpack Compose ecosystem updates. Production artifacts are at 1.10.4 with bug fixes, while 1.11.0-alpha06 formally announces the experimental styles API. Compose Material3 1.5.0-alpha15 adds a scrim component and reworks MaterialTheme to use a single composition local. Nav3 1.1.0-alpha05 replaces the SceneStrategy then() infix with a NavDisplay taking a List<SceneStrategy>. Compose Multiplatform 1.11.0-alpha03 is out with a breaking transitive dependency change. Featured articles cover the upcoming Compose Styles API, Nav2-to-Nav3 migration, Compose SlotTable internals (linked list rewrite), and recomposition stability. Notable new libraries include a Storybook-style scene browser (composium), a LaTeX renderer for CMP, animation modifiers (Springy), and a collapsing top bar scaffold. Coil 3.4.0 and Maps for Compose 8.2.0 also shipped.
