If the primary constructor of a
KotlinModule
is called directly, bytecode compatibility problems can occur.For this reason, this has been marked as
Deprecated
for quite some time.This change raises the
DeprecationLevel
to error and sets the privatization schedule to 2.18.In addition, hidden constructors and other builder functions marked as
Deprecated
that have long been left out for compatibility purposes are also marked for removal in 2.18.At the same time, a hidden no-argument constructor has been added to facilitate initializing
KotlinModule
via reflection.This is useful in situations where
Java
libraries initializeKotlinModule
via reflection.However, the
Builder
method of initialization is still recommended for normal use cases.
