I think one recent release added a new API to update the value of a

Property

avoiding circular dependencies with it, but I cannot find it with

update

. Anyone remember the name?

It got withdrawn and will be back under new name "replace" in 8.8 iirc

I guess they have their motivation to that rename, but it will be hard. For me looks like Gradle is becoming Kotlin like and moving into it as primary language, I think

update

is what most people would expect, matching Kotlin and coroutines APIs

No idea, I guess so too 🙂
