There’s an issue with the release notes Markdown:
On https://docs.gradle.org/3.4-rc-3/release-notes.html#external-contributions, the last entry probably should not show up. :wink:

Any chance for https://github.com/gradle/gradle/pull/1389 to be merged before the official release?

@jochenberger Good catch, thank you. We’ll get that fixed.

@idlsoft Not for 3.4. It looks like it’ll be included in the next version of Gradle.

It’s a pretty significant issue - any code that executes outside the regular test boundaries that tries a simple System.out.println will throw an exception.
Instances like this may be limited but, the very fact that gradle introduces side-effects into testing is troubling.
I’d also argue for a 3.3.1 hotfix.
