In the vein of "teaching a man to fish", is there a moderately high level 
(higher than browsing the commit log) way to find out what features have been 
implemented in trunk? Similarly is there a 0.9 and 0.10 roadmap that's kept 
current?

I saw on the Gradle wiki that the DSL for dependencies was changing, that 
configurations were being removed. Early December I checked out trunk hoping to 
experiment with the new dependency DSL, but found the same DSL as 0.8 (I 
haven't checked trunk recently, so the feature may have been implemented). I 
was left with uncertainties. Was the DSL change still planned for 0.9, but 
unimplemented? Was it moved to 0.10 roadmap? Was the change discarded?

Having a well documented project for stable releases is hard. Keeping a 
high-level changelog and up-to-date roadmap while a new release is under 
development even harder. You have the former; I'm hoping you have the latter, 
but won't disparage you if you don't :)


I don't need a prompt answer if you want to hold off on a reply until you can 
include links to trunk user guide or other artifacts.
