Glide 4.16.0

This release focuses on some build improvements and Compose. The two major Compose improvements are adding support for Compose specific transitions (e.g. cross fade) and supporting recomposition based on request state using GlideSubcomposition. There's also been a bunch of internal refactoring to move away from Painters to Modifier nodes based on feedback from the Compose team. This is still an alpha release of Compose, but barring unexpectedly negative feedback, the next release should be beta.

This should be the last release of Glide that targets Java 7. That probably means our next release will be a major version change.

Features

• Allow passing an executor into ChromiumRequestSerializer in #5077
• Allow host app to provide a way to clear all resources onStop() by @osamaaftab in #5145

Compose

• Add a Transition API and a CrossFade Transition for Compose by @sjudd in #5235

• Influence layout using intrinsics in GlideNode by @sjudd in #5240 * Log instead of throwing parsing manifests to fix compose previews by @sjudd in #5167

• Launch no more than one request per onRemembered by @sjudd in #5062

• Remove GlidePainter in favor of Modifier nodes / Flows by @sjudd in #5230

• Replace flows in GlideSubcomposition with a listener on GlideNode by @sjudd in #5238

Bugs

• Read library glide module names from Java indexes by @sjudd in #5052
• Fix typo. anay -> any in GlideSymbolProcessor.kt. by @trevorhackman in #5029
• Include URL in error log by @paulsowden in #5164
• Add isInitialized visible for testing method by @paulsowden in #5163
• Use onIdle to avoid a race in FlowTests by @sjudd in #5202
• Add a isEquivalentTo method to correctly check equality by @mori-atsushi in #5232
• Add @RequiresPermission to NotificationTarget by @TWiStErRob in #5220

Deprecations

• placeholderOf(@Composable) in GlideImage is deprecated, use GlideSubcomposition instead. Keep in mind that using either forces a recomposition each time the state of the image load changes. Recomposition will have a significant performance penalty in scrolling lists and should be avoided.

Behavior Changes

• Hard code disabling hardware bitmaps on O/OMR1. by @sjudd in #5115
• Do not set requireOriginal on Android photo picker uris. by @phoenixli in #5162

Breaking Changes

• [Late edit, sorry!]: Added @Nullable and @NonNull annotations to RequestListener via 60b567e. This will break Kotlin implementations that make different assumptions about nullability.
