11/02/2018, 6:19 AMIs it safe to start using Gradle 5 release candidates on new projects with kotlin dsl? I mean how many large breaking changes are there compared to 4.X? Will most of the plugins that worked with 4 "just work" with 5. I don`t have much exp with Gradle (did not like groovy build scripts) but want to try kotlin in there

There are cool changes for Kotlin DSL, but some plugins can be not compatible (for example Android Gradle Plugin 3.3 is not compatible
