Call for Proposals: March newsletter

[oleg-nenashev]

We are assembling the newsletter for mid-March. As always, we want to include major updates from the community, including recent updates in the Gradle Build Tool and plugins, new blogs and articles, and upcoming events. Any other big Gradle-related updates are welcome, too! See the newsletter archive for examples

If you want to suggest something, comment on this issue!

P.S.: Bonus points for announcing the updates in #community-newson Slack and on Gradle Forums!

The Helix editor will now provide syntax highlighting when editing Gradle Groovy scripts after this PR was merged. The changes will become available with the next Helix release.

The latest release of the GradleX Extra Java Module Info plugin now supports automatically generating complete module-info.class files for libraries that do not yet provide one. The content of the module-info.class is computed from the libraries metadata. New versions of the GradleX Java Module Dependencies and Java Module Testing plugins are also available.
