Backports

Limited support for Java 16

This release does not support running Gradle with JDK 16, but you can use Java toolchains to request Java 16 and compile your project.

Using dynamic versions in the plugins block

Until now, the plugins { } block only supported fixed versions for community plugins. All version string notations Gradle supports are now accepted, including + or latest.release.

We recommend using the plugins {} block for applying plugins using Gradle 7. The old apply plugin: mechanism will be deprecated in the future.

Note that dynamic versions will introduce non-deterministic behavior to your build process and should be used judiciously. You can use dependency locking to save the set of dependencies resolved when using dynamic versions.

Native support for Apple Silicon

Previous Gradle versions were able to run on new Macs with Apple Silicon processors with some disadvantages:

With a native ARM JDK, Gradle features like the rich console and file system watching would be disabled.
With an Intel JDK, Gradle would run at about half speed through the Rosetta2 compatibility layer.

With this release, every feature is now supported using a native ARM JDK.
If you're using a new Mac with Apple Silicon, you should use Gradle with a native ARM JDK for optimal performance.

Other backports

Please refer to the list of fixed issues for all issues backported from Gradle 7.0.
