## New features and usability improvements

## Tooling integration improvements

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.
