v4.10.0

Compare Source

The Gradle team is pleased to announce Gradle 4.10. This is a big release.

First and foremost, this release of Gradle features an improved incremental Java compiler, now enabled by default.
This will result in significantly reduced Java compilation time in subsequent builds when outputs are not up-to-date or resolved from the build cache.

Chances are caches in those .gradle/ directories have accumulated a few (or a few dozen) gigabytes over time.
If so, you'll be relieved to know that Gradle will now periodically clean up unused /caches under GRADLE_USER_HOME and project root directories.

A moment you have anticipated is nearly here, as the Kotlin DSL reaches version 1.0 RC3.
Configuration avoidance, buildSrc refactoring propagation to the IDE, and lots of DSL polish make this the release to try.
Gradle Kotlin DSL 1.0 will ship with the next version of Gradle, 5.0.
Read this blog post for guidance on trying the Kotlin DSL and submitting feedback.

You can now use SNAPSHOT plugin versions with the plugins {} and pluginManagement {} blocks.
This is especially good news for Kotlin DSL users, who will get code assistance and auto-completion for these SNAPSHOT plugins.
Special thanks to Sébastien Deleuze for contributing.

Last but not least, included builds can now be nested.
This makes some common workflows more convenient, such as working on multiple source repositories at the same time to implement a cross-cutting feature.

We hope you will build happiness with Gradle 4.10, and we look forward to your feedback via Twitter or on GitHub.

Upgrade Instructions

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=4.10

Standalone downloads are available at gradle.org/install.

v4.9.0

Compare Source

The Gradle team is pleased to announce Gradle 4.9.

First, publishing tools get some more love: projects that publish auxiliary publications (e.g. test fixtures) through maven-publish and ivy-publish can now be depended upon by other projects in the same build. There is also a new Publishing Overview chapter in the user manual and updates throughout the documentation regarding publishing artifacts using Maven and Ivy.

In addition to lazy tasks use, Kotlin DSL build scripts are evaluated faster with version 0.18.4, included in this version of Gradle. IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio user experience is also improved.
See details in the Kotlin DSL v0.18.x release notes.

You can now pass arguments to JavaExec tasks directly from the command-line using --args:

❯ gradle run --args 'foo --bar'

No more need to hard-code arguments in your build scripts. Consult the documentation for the Application Plugin for more information.

Last but not least, this version of Gradle has an improved dependency insight report. Read the details further on.

We hope you will build happiness with Gradle 4.9, and we look forward to your feedback via Twitter or on GitHub.
