Kotlin 1.2.30 Released

Kotlin 1.2.30 has been released.  Kotlin is a new JVM powered programming language from JetBrains, the makers of popular development tools such as Intellij IDEA, WebStorm and CLion IDEs.  While initially targeting the existing Java VM environment and maintaining compatibility with Java libraries, Kotlin also can now be compiled to JavaScript as well as LLVM targets making native no VM compilation possible.
