NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle doesn't support setting a big picture by using an icon, which was added to the platform's BigPictureStyle in API 31 (

https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Notification.BigPictureStyle?hl=en#bigpicture_1). This is required if you want to use an animated image in the notification.
showBigPictureWhenCollapsed and setContentDescription, the other two new additions in API 31, are supported in the latest version of androidx.core:core.
Are you planning to support bigPicture(icon) in NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle and can you share when it is expected to become available, or won't this be feasible to support? I understand that animated images will only work on API 31, but it would be helpful to be able to use it on that API level, right now it isn't possible to use it when building with NotificationCompat at all.

Marked as fixed.

The release notes documentation has been edited to clarify this change in behavior for line height.

To support non-standard text sizes, we encourage users to follow the Material design system and use a different type scale rather than changing the font size directly. Alternatively, users can overwrite the line height like so: style = LocalTextStyle.current.copy(lineHeight = TextUnit.Unspecified), or create a custom Typography entirely.
