Release Notes - v1.0.0

We're excited to announce v1.0.0 of the Gradle Project Dependents Plugin! This major release brings significant improvements to performance, compatibility, and functionality.

✨ New Features

Multiple Output Formats

The plugin now supports four different output formats for the dependency graph:

Format	Description	Output File
STDOUT	Tree format printed to console	Console output (default)
YAML	YAML representation of the graph	build/projectDependents/graph.yaml
JSON	JSON representation of the graph	build/projectDependents/graph.json
MERMAID	Mermaid flowchart in Markdown	build/projectDependents/graph.md

import io.github.bjoernmayer.gradleProjectDependents.OutputFormat

projectDependents {
    outputFormats.set(setOf(OutputFormat.STDOUT, OutputFormat.JSON, OutputFormat.MERMAID))
}

Depth Limiting

New depth option allows you to limit how deep the dependency tree is traversed:

projectDependents {
    depth.set(1)  // Show only direct dependents
}

Example Project

Added a complete example project demonstrating plugin usage in a multi-module setup.

🚀 Performance Improvements

Lazy Configuration

• Moved heavy dependency graph initialization from configuration phase to execution time
• The dependency graph is now only built when the task actually executes, significantly improving Gradle invocation times for builds that don't run the dependents task

Proper Task Tracking

• Replaced upToDateWhen { false } with the proper @UntrackedTask annotation
• Added documentation explaining why the task cannot be cached

🔧 Technical Improvements

Gradle Configuration Cache Compatibility

• Modernized the extension to use Gradle's lazy property types (Property<Boolean>, SetProperty<String>) instead of plain Kotlin vars
• Full compatibility with Gradle's configuration cache

Code Quality

• Added comprehensive unit tests for ProjectDependents and Configuration classes
• Added unit tests for DependentsGraph conversion
• Added functional tests for all features including depth option
• Refactored all printers to use a shared DependentsGraph model
• Removed duplicate cycle detection logic from individual printers
• Cleaned up comparator syntax and overall code structure
• Added missing task description

📦 Build Configuration Changes

• Added Kotlin Serialization plugin
• Added kotlinx-serialization-json dependency
• Updated org.gradle.toolchains.foojay-resolver-convention to 1.0.0

📖 Documentation

• Updated README with comprehensive documentation for all new features
• Added examples for each output format

⬆️ Upgrade Guide

This release uses lazy properties for configuration. Update your configuration from:

// Old (pre-1.0.0)
projectDependents {
    generateYamlGraph = true
    excludedConfigurations = mutableSetOf("testImplementation")
}

To:

// New (1.0.0+)
import io.github.bjoernmayer.gradleProjectDependents.OutputFormat

projectDependents {
    outputFormats.set(setOf(OutputFormat.STDOUT, OutputFormat.YAML))
    excludedConfigurations.add("testImplementation")
}
