The Gradle team is pleased to announce the release of Gradle 1.0-milestone-5.
This release contains a huge swag of bug fixes to dependency caching stability and performance, classifier handling, concurrent process access to the caches, the daemon, and more. There is a handful of nice new features, too. You can read more in the release notes.
It's not all goodness, unfortunately. There are a few known issues in this release, which you should verify don't affect your build before you upgrade. Most of these are already fixed in the master branch, and the fixes will be included in the next release. This release also includes some changes which may break some builds. You can read more in the migration guide.

The Gradle 1.0-milestone-4 release contains some serious regressions, and we suggest that you use 1.0-milestone-3 instead.
A 1.0-milestone-5 release will be completed soon, to fix these regressions.
The Gradle team is pleased to announce that Gradle 1.0-milestone-4 is
now available.

As usual, we needed to deprecate some parts of the API to tidy up the
DSL and make room for newer & better functionalities. Occasionally, it
was impractical to keep deprecated alternatives so please take a look
at the information how to migrate from 1.0-milestone-3. You can find
the details at http://wiki.gradle.org/display/GRADLE/Gradle+1.0-milestone-4+Breaking+Changes.
