- Type-safe accessors in Kotlin precompiled script plugins
- Gradle Module Metadata 1.0
For more details see https://docs.gradle.org/5.3/release-notes.html
We have agreed to introduce the Gradle wrapper to simplify workflows for
developers, and managing infrastructure (e.g., CI, release builds, etc.)
as well as consideration for the fact that other projects in our stack
use Gradle and do not necessarily want to be tied to our Gradle version.
