v0.28.0

Compare Source

• Added support for publishing through the new Central Portal. To use
  this use the CENTRAL_PORTAL option when specifying the Sonatype host.
• For Kotlin Multiplatform the main plugin will now automatically publish the
  release variant if the project has an Android target and no variant was explicitly
  specified through the Kotlin Gradle DSL.
• Support specifying the Android variants to publish in KotlinMultiplatform(...).
• Updated minimum supported Gradle, Android Gradle Plugin and Kotlin versions.
• Removed support for the deprecated Kotlin/JS plugin.
• Removed the deprecated closeAndReleaseRepository task. Use releaseRepository, which
  is functionally equivalent, instead.

Minimum supported versions

• JDK 11
• Gradle 8.1
• Android Gradle Plugin 8.0.0
• Kotlin Gradle Plugin 1.9.20

Compatibility tested up to

• JDK 21
• Gradle 8.6
• Gradle 8.7-rc-3
• Android Gradle Plugin 8.3.0
• Android Gradle Plugin 8.4.0-alpha13
• Kotlin Gradle Plugin 1.9.23
• Kotlin Gradle Plugin 2.0.0-Beta4

Configuration cache status

Configuration cache is generally supported, except for:

• Publishing releases to Maven Central (snapshots are fine), blocked by Gradle issue #​22779.
• Dokka does not support configuration cache

v0.27.0

Compare Source

• Added new publishing related tasks
  • releaseRepository releases a staging repository at the end of the build
    and can be executed in the same build as the publishing task. This allows
    having automatic releases without permanently enabling them.
  • publishToMavenCentral as alias for running publishAllPublicationsToMavenCentralRepository.
  • publishAndReleaseToMavenCentral as alias for running both of the above.
  • For more information checkout the docs.
• It is now possible to only pass a subset of the parameters to
  coordinates(...) and leave the others at their default value.
  Thanks to @​sschuberth for the contribution.
• Fixed java-test-fixture projects being broken with Gradle 8.6.
• Deprecated closeAndReleaseRepository in favor of releaseRepository.
