Release Notes

ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin (com.github.ben-manes:gradle-versions-plugin)

v0.52.0

• Replace deprecated api usage for Gradle 9.0 compatibility (#​856; thanks @​jvandort)
• Resolve Kotlin 2.0 incompatibility (#​907; thanks @​elevenfive)

This plugin now uses Kotlin 2.x for compatibility. Unfortunately Kotlin lacks the ability to target older versions for binary compatibility (as in Java's --release option) and Gradle does not fully isolate plugins from conflicting dependencies. Therefore, this plugin is incompatible for projects using the Kotlin 1.x gradle plugin due to hidden compiler injected byte code. Please use the previous release for Kotlin 1.x projects (#​929).

v0.51.0

• Ensure Kotlin dependencies are properly handled when not forced (#​823, #​824, #​825; thanks @​tresat)

v0.50.0

Fixed xml report "Unrecognized configuration feature: indent-number" (#​818)

v0.49.0

Replaced xstreams with javax.xml for Gradle 8.4 compatibility (#​814)

If you still have a legacy xml provider listed in your buildEnvironment dependency tree, such as old version of xerces, then you can force the default provider to OpenJDK's by adding the following to your gradle.properties.

systemProp.javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
systemProp.javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
systemProp.javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl

v0.48.0

Allow the gradle versions api url to be customized to support restricted environments (#​807)
