🎉 Gradle 9.6.0-rc-1 is out! https://docs.gradle.org/9.6.0-rc-1/release-notes.html

The I/O improvement is solid ! https://docs.gradle.org/9.6.0-rc-1/release-notes.html#performance-improvements-in-cloud-runners

No mention in the release notes of sortable columns in HTML test reports?

@Ryan Schmitt, would you like me to add it?

My 2cnts, as personally, I'm not really looking into it, but I believe it's worth a mention. By the way, another 2cnts, I'll probably show the sha 256 here. There's enough supply chain attack in the wild.

./gradlew :wrapper --gradle-version=9.6.0-rc-1 && ./gradlew :wrapper

@Laura Kassovic It's up to you, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't an accidental omission. Reporting improvements generally are mentioned in the release notes, e.g. the prior round of HTML test report improvements in Gradle 9.3.0 https://docs.gradle.org/9.3.0/release-notes.html#test-reporting-improvements

FYI, I noticed a regression in the way dependency locking works (or at least I think it's a regression) https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/38057

@Laura Kassovic It looks like I was supposed to do this, so here's a PR to update the release notes https://github.com/gradle/gradle/pull/38064

@Brice Dutheil

About the IO improvement, is there any particular pull requests to look at ?

That should be https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/37406 and the related Issues / PR

Thanks @Christoph Obexer

The release notes are wrong, the feature flag is called

NO_IMPLICIT_LOOKUP_IN_PARENT_PROJECTS

@Philip W, thanks for spotting it, will be fixed in RC2

We are still using Android Gradle Plugin 8.13.x and with this gradle they are not compatible.
