Release Notes

ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin (com.github.ben-manes:gradle-versions-plugin)

v0.54.0

• Workaround for issues caused by plugins adding dynamic configurations (#​985, #​984, #​979, #​968, #​966, #​930)

v0.53.0

• Fails the task in Gradle 9+ if run without disabling parallel project execution
• Fixes to the html report rendering (#​933, #​946)

[!NOTE]

In Gradle 9.0 and above, the dependencyUpdates task should be run with the --no-parallel flag

v0.52.0

• Replace deprecated api usage for Gradle 9.0 compatibility (#​856; thanks @​jvandort)
• Resolve Kotlin 2.0 incompatibility (#​907; thanks @​elevenfive)

[!NOTE]
Kotlin 1.x is no longer supported

This plugin now uses Kotlin 2.x for compatibility. Unfortunately Kotlin lacks the ability to target older versions for binary compatibility (as in Java's --release option) and Gradle does not fully isolate plugins from conflicting dependencies. Therefore, this plugin is incompatible for projects using the Kotlin 1.x gradle plugin due to hidden compiler injected byte code. Please use the previous release for Kotlin 1.x projects (#​929).

I believe this requires a Gradle version bump to 8.something - it looks like maybe also Kotlin 2.x is involved based on what looks like a bincompat error.
