Impactful change guidance​

This release includes several noteworthy updates aimed at improving performance, stability, and maintainability. While none of these are breaking changes, some may require action or awareness from developers.

🔧 Gradle Plugin Rewrite & Build Service Enhancements​

A major internal rewrite of the Gradle plugins introduces a custom build service to improve memory usage by caching and closing classloaders when not in use.

  • Impact: Substantial improvement in Gradle daemon performance and memory efficiency.
  • Action: Ensure your app includes the required extra JVM flag - this PR shows the changes needed in existing projects.
  • Note: This is a significant change, and while not breaking, it may surface edge-case issues during builds.

🕒 Evaluator Stability Improvements​

The GENESIS_EVALUATOR will now log a warning instead of crashing when it encounters invalid cron expressions.

  • Impact: Increased system resilience.
  • Action: Ensure your monitoring tools are reading evaluator logs for any new warnings that may indicate misconfigured cron rules.

🧬 Kotlin Upgrade to 2.1.21​

Updated Kotlin to version 2.1.21, bringing bug fixes and performance improvements.

  • Impact: Improved stability and performance.
  • Action: No mandatory changes for apps. Compatible with existing Kotlin code.

🧱 Guava Library Upgrade​

Guava upgraded to 33.4.8-jre, which includes changes to nullability and generic types, particularly in ListenableFuture.

  • Impact: Potential minor changes needed if your app uses ListenableFuture.
  • Action: Review any app usage of ListenableFuture. In the unlikely event your app is using them directly please feel free to contact dev.support@genesis.global with the instances for help in migrating
