Modifier.animateItemPlacement() deprecated in Compose Foundation v1.7.0-alpha06

[Calvin-LL]

Item appearance and disappearance animation support was added into LazyColumn and LazyRow. Previously it was possible to add Modifier.animateItemPlacement() modifier in order to support placement (reordering) animations. We deprecated this modifier and introduced a new non-experimental modifier called Modifier.animateItem() which allows you to support all three animation types: appearance (fade in), disappearance (fade out) and reordering. (I2d7f7, b/150812265)

In Compose Foundation version 1.7.0-alpha06 release notes.

Should remove Modifier.animateItemPlacement() with Modifier.animateItem() once v1.7.0 is out.

Did some math in #32

Compose Foundation 1.6.0-alpha08 to 1.6.0 took almost 3 months, the latest Compose Multiplatform 1.6.2 uses Compose Foundation 1.6.4 which is a 20-day gap. So expect Compose Foundation v1.7.0 to be in Compose Multiplatform in around 4 months at the current speed.

So that means Compose Foundation v1.7.0 will probably be out around late August - early September.

Sorry to bother you. I cloned the lib files into my project. Bumped Compose libs (Android ones because it's an Android app) to 1.7.0-beta02. Replaced animateItemPlacement() with animateItem(), but nothing changed. Did I do something wrong and there is more work to do to adapt to newer Compose versions?

There are lots of places marked TODO(foundation v1.7.0) in the code for 1.7.0 that need to be made before that's fixed.
