About This Article
JetBrains had too many separate blogs and communication channels for Kotlin tools. Developers couldn't easily find all the Kotlin updates they needed in one place.
The Kotlin Toolchain team merged Amper into the unified Kotlin Toolchain. They moved all announcements to the centralized Kotlin Blog so developers have one place to check for Kotlin news and releases.
The old Amper blog is still available as an archive with all links working. New subscribers can follow Kotlin Toolchain updates on the main Kotlin Blog and GitHub repository instead.
