### [`v4.0.0`](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/releases/tag/v4.0.0)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/compare/v3.5.0...v4)
Final release of `v4.0.0` of the `setup-gradle`, `dependency-submission` and `wrapper-validation` actions provided under `gradle/actions`.
This release is available under the `v4` tag.
##### Major changes from the `v3` release
##### The `arguments` parameter has been removed
Using the action to execute Gradle via the ` arguments `parameter was deprecated in `v3` and this parameter has been removed.
[See here for more details](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/blob/v4.0.0-rc.1/docs/deprecation-upgrade-guide.md#using-the-action-to-execute-gradle-via-the-arguments-parameter-is-deprecated).
##### Cache cleanup enabled by default
After a number of fixes and improvements, this release enables [cache-cleanup](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/blob/v4.0.0-rc.1/docs/setup-gradle.md#configuring-cache-cleanup) by default for all Jobs using the `setup-gradle` and `dependency-submission` actions.
Improvements and bugfixes related cache cleanup:
- By default, cache cleanup is not run if any Gradle build fails ([#71](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/issues/71))
- Cache cleanup is not run after configuration-cache reuse ([#19](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/issues/19))
This feature should help to minimize the size of entries written to the GitHub Actions cache, speeding up builds and reducing cache usage.
##### Wrapper validation enabled by default
In `v3`, the `setup-gradle` action was enhanced to support Gradle wrapper validation, removing the need to use a separate workflow
file with the `gradle/actions/wrapper-validation` action.
With this release, wrapper validation has been significantly improved, and is now enabled by default ([#12](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/issues/12)):
- The `allow-snapshot-wrappers` makes it possible to validate snapshot wrapper jars using `setup-gradle`.
- Checksums for [nightly and snapshot Gradle versions](https://services.gradle.org/distributions-snapshots/) are now validated ([#281](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/issues/281)).
- Valid wrapper checksums are cached in Gradle User Home, reducing the need to retrieve checksum values remotely ([#172](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/issues/172)).
- Reduce network calls in `wrapper-validation` for new Gradle versions: By only fetching wrapper checksums for Gradle versions that were not known when this action was released, this release reduces the likelihood that a network failure could cause failure in wrapper validation ([#171](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/issues/171))
- Improved error message when `wrapper-validation` finds no wrapper jars ([#284](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/issues/284))
Wrapper validation is important for supply-chain integrity. Enabling this feature by default will increase the coverage of wrapper
validation on projects using GitHub Actions.
##### New input parameters for Dependency Graph generation
Some dependency-graph inputs that could previously only be configured via environment variables now have dedicated action inputs:
- `dependency-graph-report-dir`: sets the location where dependency-graph reports will be generated
- `dependency-graph-exclude-projects` and `dependency-graph-include-projects`: [select which Gradle projects will contribute to the generated dependency graph](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/blob/v4.0.0-rc.1/docs/dependency-submission.md#selecting-gradle-projects-that-will-contribute-to-the-dependency-graph).
- `dependency-graph-exclude-configurations` and `dependency-graph-include-configurations`: [select which Gradle configurations will contribute to the generated dependency graph](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/blob/v4.0.0-rc.1/docs/dependency-submission.md#selecting-gradle-configurations-that-will-contribute-to-the-dependency-graph).
##### Other improvements
- In Job summary, the action now provides an explanation when cache is set to `read-only` or `disabled` ([#255](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/issues/255))
- When `setup-gradle` requests a specific Gradle version, the action will no longer download and install that version if it is already available on the `PATH` of the runner ([#270](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/issues/270))
- To attempt to speed up builds, the `setup-gradle` and `dependency-submission` actions now attempt to use the `D:` drive for Gradle User Home if it is available ([#290](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/issues/290))
##### Deprecations and breaking changes
- The `gradle-home-cache-cleanup` input parameter has been deprecated and replaced by `cache-cleanup`
- The undocumented `dependency-graph: clear` parameter has been removed without replacement
- The following parameters deprecated in `v3` have been removed:
- [arguments](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/blob/v4.0.0-rc.1/docs/deprecation-upgrade-guide.md#using-the-action-to-execute-gradle-via-the-arguments-parameter-is-deprecated)
- [build-scan-terms-of-service-url and build-scan-terms-of-service-agree](https://togithub.com/gradle/actions/blob/v4.0.0-rc.1/docs/deprecation-upgrade-guide.md#the-build-scan-terms-of-service-input-parameters-have-been-renamed)
