Release: RC 1

Release info

• Version: 1.0.0-rc1
• Track: Release Candidate
• Audience: Anyone

Many updates, fixes, and improvements to the Buildless for Gradle plugin. This includes support for the Buildless Agent, fixes for Groovy and Kotlin DSL support, and more! All users are encouraged to upgrade.

This is the first version of the Buildless plugin which includes support for Pkgst.

Using the plugin

Configuring Buildless is really easy:

settings.gradle.kts

plugins {
  id("build.less") version "1.0.0-rc1"
}

settings.gradle

plugins {
  id 'build.less' version '1.0.0-rc1'
}

Using the above snippet, your API key will be captured via environment variables:

• BUILDLESS_APIKEY
• GRADLE_CACHE_PASSWORD

More API key specification methods are on the way, including Gradle properties, JVM properties, and configuration files on-disk.
