We are happy to announce the release of Gradle 0.1.4 .
This is a rather important release. We have added floating source
folders to have full control where your sources are. There was a
critical bug when using Groovy projects in multi-project build that
is fixed now. Last but not least Gradle can now build Groovy projects
based on the groovy libraries provided by the users. This does not
just include the classpath for compiling the code and running the
tests but also the usage of groovyc and groovydoc.
The user's guide has been enhanced regarding the changes above
(Chapter 9 and 10).
This release includes breaking changes. Yet we do only a revision
release. I'd like to point out our current release policy. If you are
unhappy with our policy please tell us. In this early stage we want
to have frequent releases. We'd like to reserve minor releases for a
major introduction of new features. Minor releases are for bug fixes
but also small improvements which might contain breaking changes.
This release policy is going to change as Gradle matures and gets a
broader install base.
Breaking changes are explicitly noted in the changelog. So always
have a look there to see whether they affect your current gradle build.
The Gradle zip has grown to 10MB. This is because our samples have
grown. For our next release we will offer a pure binary distribution
as well as a binary distribution which contains also the sources and
samples.
