🥇 Today was the first release of the Gradle Utilities plugin. It provides an extension called

grolifantOps

which contains quite a number of useful utilities for buildscript authors. People that authored plugins using Grolifant as a library might be familiar with a number of them already, but this plugin is aimed that at those that need more power when actually authoring `build.gradle(.kts)`files. All of the functionality is not yet described in the documentation, but you can get a good taste of some of the things already, by reading https://utilities-gradle.ysb33r.org/utilities-gradle-plugin/1.0.0/usage.html. The docs has the wrong plugin id, but the plugin portal is correct

org.ysb33r.utilities

. I hope that this functionality will be really useful to some.
