Release notes

Sourced from gradle/actions's releases.

v6.0.0

[!IMPORTANT] The release of gradle/actions@v6 contains important changes to the license terms. More details in this blog post. TL;DR: By upgrading to v6, you accept the Terms of Use for the gradle-actions-caching component.

Summary

• Caching functionality of 'gradle-actions' has been extracted into a separate gradle-actions-caching library, and is no longer open-source. See this blog post for more context.
• Existing, rudimentary, configuration-cache support has been removed, pending a fully functional implementation in gradle-actions-caching.
• Dependencies updated to address security vulnerabilities

Automated Review — gradle/actions v5 → v6 (Major Version Bump)

Summary

The diff is straightforward — only version bumps from @v5 to @v6 across three workflow files. All CI checks pass.

Licensing change

The main change in v6 is that the caching functionality has been extracted into a proprietary gradle-actions-caching component, governed by Gradle's Terms of Use instead of the MIT License. By upgrading to v6, you accept these terms. The caching component is only loaded when caching is enabled.

Since v6.2.0, an open-source "basic" cache provider is available as an alternative, but the enhanced caching remains proprietary.

Result

Technically safe to merge — all checks green, no breaking changes. However, the licensing change is a policy decision that needs your sign-off.
