Kotlin outdated #79

Closed thre3eye closed 4 years ago

thre3eye commented 4 years ago

Hi. Thanks for the library!

Just a quick note that the Kotlin reference (1.2.0 from 2017) is somewhat outdated. I just spent quite a while debugging an issue, which turned out to be this 'elderly' Kotlin (indirectly referenced through a component and thus hidden in the dependency tree) quietly overtaking a directly referenced Kotlin 1.3 - and breaking the web server due to missing API. The Maven workaround is to exclude the Kotlin dependency of finmath but I figured I'd drop a related note here. Cheers.

Thanks. Kotlin was only used experimentally in a unit test. There is now a dedicated Kotlin wrapper http://www.finmath.net/finmath-lib-kotlin/ that also brings some more convenience. It is still experimental... feedback is welcomed.

Kotlin dependency will be removed from the lib. (I am sorry that you had this issue).

thre3eye commented 4 years ago

No problem. I appreciate your work.

Fixed in 5.0.4. See also http://www.finmath.net/finmath-lib-kotlin/
