Hey folks! The Plugin Publishing Plugin has been updated to version 2.0.0. The plugin is now compatible with Configuration Cache. Note that the signing task is compatible with Configuration Cache only starting from Gradle 8.1, so it's required to use at least Gradle 8.1.1 for signed publications if you want full Configuration Cache compatibility. Provider API is now used for all configuration properties. There is no impact on users, and straightforward scenarios will continue to work as before, but you'll need to update your build scripts if you did something advanced. The support for old Gradle versions has been removed. The minimum supported Gradle version is now 7.4. Also, bundled dependencies have been updated.

Nice, what are the breaking changes? Is it just dropping support for older versions?

Is it just dropping support for older versions?

Mostly that and there were some breaking changes caused by migration to provider API, e.g. plain properties became providers
