A third release candidate for Gradle 1.0 is now available, that addresses a serious issue with Groovy compilation that turned out to be only partially fixed in the second release candidate.
Download links can be found @ http://gradle.org/downloads, and as always please read the Release Notes and Migration Guide.
If no serious issues are discovered by our users, Gradle 1.0 final will follow this release in the next week. 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.
For more on the 1.0 and after process, please see this previous post.
