We are very excited about our new dependency cache. But we did not a good job to communicate why we are working on it. The new cache solves many fundamental issues that current repository based builds have, whether their build system is Ant + Ivy, Gradle, SBT, Buildr, Leiningen or Maven. We considered it crucial to have these improvements in 1.0. The road to the new cache has been a little bit more bumpy than we expected . Some bugs in the new dependency cache caused severe regressions in our now-rescinded 1.0-M4 release.
To learn more about the new cache, have a look at my posting in our new forum: http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/welcome_to_our_new_dependency_cache Hans -- Hans Dockter Founder, Gradle http://www.gradle.org, http://twitter.com/gradleware CEO, Gradleware - Gradle Training, Support, Consulting http://www.gradleware.com
