• Katalyst, the leading recursion schemes library in Kotlin is now part of the Arrow family and published under arrow-recursion. #831 thanks to Aedan Smith.

Arrow now supports ForDataType syntax { … } syntax blocks where the data type instances are exposed and available as this in the block. #811 thanks to Raúl Raja

A brand new optics DSL makes changing immutable structure easier than ever. #825 thanks to Simon Vergauwen

MaybeK has been added to the list of supported Rx2 data types providing support for the Effect hierarchy of type classes. #862 thanks to Jorge Castillo
