v6.1.0

New: Basic Cache Provider

A new MIT-licensed Basic Caching provider is now available as an alternative to the proprietary Enhanced Caching provided by gradle-actions-caching. Choose Basic Caching by setting cache-provider: basic on setup-gradle or dependency-submission actions.

  • Built on @actions/cache -- fully open source
  • Caches ~/.gradle/caches and ~/.gradle/wrapper directories
  • Cache key derived from build files (*.gradle*, gradle-wrapper.properties, etc.)
  • Clean cache on build file changes (no restore keys, preventing stale entry accumulation)

Limitations vs Enhanced Caching: No cache cleanup, no deduplication of cached content, cached content is fixed unless build files change.

Revamped Licensing & Distribution Documentation

  • New DISTRIBUTION.md documents the licensing of each component (particularly Basic Caching vs Enhanced Caching)
  • Simplified licensing notices in README, docs, and runtime log output
  • Clear usage tiers: Enhanced Caching is free for public repos and in Free Preview for private repos

Full Changelog: gradle/actions@v4.4.1...v4.4.2

v4.4.1

Compare Source

This patch release fixes a bug in Develocity Injection with a custom plugin repository.
The gradle-plugin-repository-* action parameters were not being correctly mapped to environment variables that are read by the Develocity Injection init script.

This issue has been fixed by setting the correct environment variables:

  • gradle-plugin-repository-url is mapped to DEVELOCITY_INJECTION_PLUGIN_REPOSITORY_URL
  • gradle-plugin-repository-username is mapped to DEVELOCITY_INJECTION_PLUGIN_REPOSITORY_USERNAME
  • gradle-plugin-repository-password is mapped to DEVELOCITY_INJECTION_PLUGIN_REPOSITORY_PASSWORD

Additionally, these parameters can now be used to configure a custom plugin repository for the GitHub Dependency Graph Gradle Plugin, required for dependency submission.
