v1.7.10

Bugfix release that addresses several blockers and regressions.

General

• Support Kotlin 1.7.10

Gradle plugin

• Do not expose Kotlin stdlib in plugin dependencies, this should fix errors like Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin when using Dokka. Thanks to @​martinbonnin (#​2543)

Java sources

• Fixed build failure caused by having configured source links for Java code (#​2544)
• Fixed several exotic problems that led to build failures, all related to using annotation in Java sources (#​2509, #​2551, #​2350)
• Fixed IntelliJ platform WARN: Attempt to load key messages that appeared when analyzing Java sources (#​2559)
