Fragment 1.8.0 is out now! The fragment-compose artifact, whose 1.7.0's content {} API focused on embedding Compose in Fragments, now also includes AndroidFragment - an AndroidView like API for embedding Fragments in Compose - no more AndroidViewBinding!

Lifecycle 2.8.2 is all about compatibility with artifacts that are unaware of Lifecycle 2.8, fixing the 'LocalLifecycleOwner not present' errors when using Compose 1.6.X and with libraries that pull in Lifecycle via compileOnly dependencies.
