🆕 Features

Context receiver / parameters

With upgrade to Kotlin 2.2.0, Ktlint 1.7.0 supports context parameters.

• Add context-receiver-list-wrapping rule - #3034, by @paul-dingemans

• Add context receiver list to modifier-order rule - #3031, by @paul-dingemans

Other rule changes

• Do not run no-unused-imports rule by default - #3039, by @paul-dingemans
  The no-unused-import rule is no longer run by default as it keeps causing problems. It will be removed in Ktlint 2.0. Until then, the rule can still be run, when enabled explicitly in .editorconfig.

• Add experimental rule expression-operand-wrapping - #3056, by @paul-dingemans
  This rule aligns wrapping of arithmetic and logical multiline expressions. The condition-wrapping rule which did something similar for logical multiline expressions only no longer reports and fixes violations. It will be removed in Ktlint 2.0.

Other features

• Deprecate functions in ASTNodeExtensions, and where applicable provide property accessors - #3026, by @paul-dingemans
  When using ASTNodeExtensions please replace function calls with the new (temporary) property accessors. The temporary property accessors are needed to maintain backwards compatability with Java integration. In Ktlint 2.0 the functions will be removed, and the temporary property accessors will be replaced with final names.
