G'day Gradle 1.8 will have some form of support for compiling C and assembling Assembly into a native binary. I'm currently unsure as to what form that should take. The issues are:
1) I've been quite remiss in getting the documentation and release notes up to scratch: currently these features are not mentioned at all. I could definitely get this done this week if prioritised. 2) I've recently improved the API for compiler/assembler settings so they are more cleanly separated per input language. Together with this I've done a bunch of cleanups / refactorings to this functionality. My question is how I should try to incorporate things into Gradle 1.8, which has already been branched. Options are: 1) Push as much as possible on the release branch, in the hope that these features are pretty much complete for 1.8. 2) Just add release notes to 1.8 for the state as at the time of branching, with everything else documented as a change from 1.8 3) Don't "release" the new features at all in 1.8 (don't mention in release notes). Any preferences? I like 1), but this will depend on the plan for releasing. ciao Daz
