Missive

What's new in this version:

Improved error messages:
Show location of Java fatal error log:
- When the Java virtual machine executing the Gradle daemon crashes unexpectedly, the Java virtual machine will generate a fatal error log. The crash could be due to a bug in Java, Gradle itself, or in the user code being executed.
- Since it may be hard to find where this error log is written, Gradle now prints the location of the crash log to the console

Support for Java 14:
- Gradle now supports running and building with Java 14.

Fixed:
- Deprecate 'default' and 'archives' configurations for resolving and declaring dependencies
- Show path of hs_err_pid file when daemon disappears
- Update documentation to not point to samples or snippets in -all distribution
- De-serialization of task graph incorrect for anonymous subtypes of enum.
- Gradle crashes if GRADLE_RO_DEP_CACHE is set and it cannot create modules-2 directory within it
- Checkstyle task can no longer be configured to analyse single files
- Precompiled script plugin fails to build on Windows if script is saved with CRLF (accessors not resolved)
- Daemon crashes for `ArtifactTransformInputArtifactIntegrationTest` with VFS retention enabled
- C++ compilation doesn't pick up file changes when VFS retention is enabled
- `GradleBuildTaskIntegrationTest.can run multiple GradleBuild tasks concurrently` fails with VFS retention
- Deleting local state when loading from cache is not picked up with partial invalidation
- Fix `PlayContinuousBuildReloadWaitingIntegrationTest` with VFS retention
- The `clean` task does not report changes to VFS
- Parsing gradle properties file with invalid syntax fails with unhelpful error message
- Log individual input file fingerprints
- Allow war task to be made cacheable with runtime api
- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind Security Vulnerabilities in Gradle 6.x
- Enable VFS retention for the build-tool build
- Enable VFS retention for local builds only
- Incremental Java compilation doesn't clean up stale generated JNI headers
- Add access to POM packaging in component metadata rules
- Re-evaluate VFS retention tests after known issues are fixed
- Instant execution fails on Java Compile Task (no source) when there are only kotlin files in src/main/java
- Handle all macOS file events without dropping VFS
- File change not recognized by VFS on macOS when entire watched directory is removed
- Watch long paths on Windows
- Implement event-driven file watcher for Linux
- JDK 14 support
- ServiceRegistry failures should emit clearer help messages
- Provide default value for JavaCompile header output
- Constraints can sometimes impact excludes
- CalculateTaskGraphBuildOperationType emits mutated structure for task plan
- Same dependencies with different classifiers are not consumed correctly from Gradle Module Metadata
