Upcoming Changes to Givens in Scala 3.7

Scala 3.7 will introduce changes to how givens are resolved, which may affect program behavior when multiple givens are present. The aim of this change is to make given resolution more predictable, but it could lead to problems during migration to Scala 3.7 or later versions. In this article, we’ll explore the motivation behind these changes, potential issues, and provide migration guides to help developers prepare for the transition.
