For Java, Groovy, Kotlin, and Android compatibility, see the full compatibility notes.
Gradle now generates type-safe Kotlin accessors for precompiled convention Settings plugins (*.settings.gradle.kts). Previously, when writing a convention plugin for settings.gradle.kts, you often had to use string-based APIs to configure extensions or plugins. Now, as long as the kotlin-dsl plugin is applied, Gradle generates accessors that provide IDE autocompletion and compile-time checking for your settings scripts, matching the experience already available for Project-level convention plugins.
To enable these accessors, ensure your convention plugin build includes the kotlin-dsl plugin:
// build-logic/build.gradle.kts
plugins {
`kotlin-dsl`
}
Tooling API clients can now directly access Gradle help and version information the same way as the Gradle CLI. This allows IDEs and other tools to provide a more consistent user experience when interacting with Gradle. For example, In IntelliJ IDEA users will be able to run --help and --version via the Execute Gradle task toolbar action.
