ConstraintLayout 2.1+ : what's next
summary
ConstraintLayout 2.1 focuses on concrete features: flow virtual layouts let one helper reference many views with wrap and table-like alignment; MotionLayout gains polar-coordinate and rotation-aware key positions, key cycles and key time cycles for cleaner orbits and oscillations; a carousel helper implements RecyclerView-style reuse inside MotionLayout for rich transitions; new constraint overlays, split MotionScene files, optional layout_width/height, an animatable text widget, AndroidX-only artifacts, and source on GitHub accelerate iteration and Compose integration.
