This is a breaking release of VanillaGradle, changing its internal resolution system fairly significantly. There are minimal changes to the user-facing configuration, but this release significantly increases the efficiency of dependency resolution.
- Run configurations are generated for Eclipse
- Sources are now visible in-IDE for Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA
- Asset download task now validates existing assets
- Minecraft artifacts are now only generated when changed, improving build performance
- Non-access widened jars are stored in a global shared cache rather than per-project
- Custom version manifests can be provided for out-of-band releases, such as combat snapshots, using the `includedVersion` extention property
- The
javaVersionfield recently added to Mojang launcher manifests is now used to determine which Java version is used in run configurations
