If no serious issues are discovered by our users, Gradle 1.0 final will follow this release in the next few weeks. As such, we would very much appreciate you taking the time to try the RC on your projects and reporting any problems that you find here on the forums.
The following issues are marked with “Fix version/s: 1.0” but are still unresolved:
GRADLE-1298 - Change in filtered resource not picked up by archive tasks (Critical) - GRADLE-1646 - Copy tasks do not consider filter/expansion properties in up-to-date checks (Blocker) - GRADLE-1276 - processResources task considered up-to-date although its spec has changed (Major)
I consider those quite important for the 1.0 release since they kind of prevent the Gradle-up-to-date-magic from happening properly.
Are you still planning to fix those before release?
