Release: Beta 1

Release info

• Version: 1.0.0-beta1
• Track: Beta
• Audience: Private (awaiting approval from Gradle)

Initial beta release of the Buildless for Gradle plugin. For now, the plugin is designed as a drop-in replacement for Gradle's own build cache settings; this enables users to easily install the plug-in and hit immediate parity with whatever settings they currently have, if any.

Using the plugin

Configuring Buildless is really easy:

import build.less.plugin.settings.*

plugins {
  id("build.less") version "1.0.0-beta1"
}

buildless {
  // that's it!
}

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

• BUILDLESS_API_KEY
• BUILDLESS_APIKEY
• GRADLE_CACHE_PASSWORD

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