v6.2.0

Highlights

This release brings significant behaviour improvements to Enhanced caching, improvements to the generated Job Summary, and a number of correctness and security fixes.

  1. Improved cache-cleanup mechanism. Cleanup of stale files from the Gradle User Home is now faster, and no longer depends on Gradle or a JVM. It works by inspecting the local file state directly, removing the Gradle invocation from the post-build step.
  2. More granular, more stable caching. The local build cache is stored as a separate cache entry, so it can be restored and invalidated independently of the main Gradle User Home entry. Transient Gradle housekeeping files are excluded from the cache, reducing its size and improving stability.
  3. Hide obsolete Job summaries in PR commments: When a new Job summary comment is added to a PR, previous outdated Job summaries are now hidden.
  4. Improved caching report in the job summary. The cache report now uses a single, consistent layout across all cache states and providers. Provider information is integrated directly into the report, and per-entry details are available in an expandable section. (#985)
  5. Correctness and security fixes. A unique cache key is now used per run attempt, so re-runs no longer collide; the job summary shows the cache key string rather than an internal id; and bundled dependencies have been updated, including a ReDoS fix and a fast-xml CVE fix.

New: Basic Cache Provider

Limitations vs Enhanced Caching: No cache cleanup, no deduplication of cached content, cached content is fixed unless build files change.
