compatibility for IR compiler

[CreatsheR]

As the title says. I've seen there is a branch for it, but there wasn't any activity since one month.
Is there a reason, why it isn't merged into master yet? We would like to use the library, but without IR compatibility we can't.

I was experimenting with the new IR on that branch, but I was considering it a low-priority task.
There is no blocking issue TBH. I'm simply quite busy at work, currently, and I'm therefore very slow with low-priority tasks.

However, once Kt 1.5.30 is out, the new IR will be considered in the beta stage, and this will increase the priority of the porting.
I hope I'll be able to complete the transition in the next weeks or months.
Apologies for slowing down your workflow.

Plus-one for this. I'm currently working on a project that needs to use a number of libraries. It seems that it's something of a mess if you want to use "legacy" libraries and "IR" libraries together. If you could publish "both" to Maven, then I think this headache would go away for me.

Yeah combining IR- and legacy-compiled libraries is not supported.

Long story short: I'm waiting for Kt 1.6.20 to be released as this issue (which is currently preventing me from switching to the new IR) should be fixed by that version
