• Update to AGP 8.1 by @ZacSweers in https://github.com/slackhq/keeper/pull/123

Full Changelog: https://github.com/slackhq/keeper/compare/0.14.0...0.15.0

• Enhancement: Support AGP 8.0. AGP 7.x and lower are no longer supported.
• Enhancement: Use new AGP APIs for retrieving all compiled classes, better supporting configuration cache.
• Enhancement: Better support configuration cache in Gradle 8.x in general.
• Enhancement: Add new keeper.disableTestProguardFiles flag gradle property to optionally disable merging in test proguard files.
• Enhancement: InferAndroidTestKeepRules no longer extends JavaExec.
• Enhancement: PrintUses support is removed entirely.
• Fix: Use artifactFiles instead of resolvedArtifacts for resolving proguard files.

All changes

• Switch to ktfmt by @ZacSweers in https://github.com/slackhq/keeper/pull/114
• Update to AGP 8/Gradle 8 by @ZacSweers in https://github.com/slackhq/keeper/pull/117

Full Changelog: https://github.com/slackhq/keeper/compare/0.13.0...0.14.0

• Enhancement: Use Gradle 7.5's new ArtifactCollection APIs to for better task input wiring. This allows us to remove the previous hack where we used the target Configuration as an internal property. This also improves configuration caching support. Gradle 7.5 is now the minimum required Gradle version.
• Enhancement: Use AGP's new Component.runtimeConfiguration API. AGP 7.3 is now the minimum required AGP version.
• Enhancement: Removed KGP and kotlin-dsl dependencies. Keeper inappropriately included implementation dependencies on these two and no longer does. This is a breaking change for users who were using these dependencies in their build scripts and you should add them separately if you're using them.
• Removed: PrintUses is no longer supported as this API has been removed from R8 and now only TraceReferences is used.
• Removed: Removed deprecated enableL8RuleSharing and traceReferences.enabled properties in the Keeper gradle extension.

New: Update to AGP 7.1 APIs

Keeper now requires AGP 7.1.0 or higher and has been reworked to use AGP's new extension APIs. As
such, the variantFilter API has now been removed.

In order to enable Keeper on a particular variant, you must register the KeeperVariantMarker
extension in AGP's VariantBuilder API like so:

androidComponents {
  beforeVariants { builder ->
    if (shouldRunKeeperOnVariant()) {
      builder.optInToKeeper() // Helpful extension function
    }
  }
}

Or in Groovy

androidComponents {
  beforeVariants { builder ->
    if (shouldRunKeeperOnVariant(builder)) {
      builder.registerExtension(KeeperVariantMarker.class, KeeperVariantMarker.INSTANCE)
    }
  }
}

Keeper's default behavior with no configuration effectively be a no-op, which isn't what you want!

Other updates

• Remove shaded ZipFlinger APIs, ZipFlinger is now used directly
• Update Kotlin to 1.6.10

• Fix: Fix a configuration caching issue when L8 rule sharing is enabled.

Fix: Keeper's intermediate jar creation tasks previously accepted dependencies inputs based on content only. This caused build caching issues across multiple machines with Gradle remote cache enabled because it would then attempt to use the previous build's absolute path to those dependency jars and subsequently fail. This is now fixed by reworking this logic internally a bit and using absolute path sensitivity for that input. This should ensure that caching still works like before across the same machine/paths but will properly be out of date when the absolute paths change across different machines.

• Minimum supported AGP version is now 7.0.0. It may work on older versions but YMMV.
• Update embedded ZipFlinger to 7.0.0 and update to its new Path constructors.
• Update to Kotlin 1.5.21

• Core Library Desugaring is now fully supported. See its
  section in on the project
  site for more details!
• The keeper.enableL8RuleSharing Gradle API is now deprecated and does nothing. L8 support is
  automatically enabled if android.compileOptions.coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled is true in AGP.
