1.7.0

Added

• When allowing a URL, a reason can now be provided using the because method.

  allowUrl("https://example.com/license.html") {
    because("is Apache-2.0")
  }

• Custom tasks can be created to check custom configurations or language plugins which do not have first-party support.

  tasks.register('licenseeFoo', app.cash.licensee.LicenseeTask) {
    configurationToCheck configurations.foo
    outputDir.set(layout.buildDirectory.dir('reports/licenseeFoo'))
  }

• Version catalog references are now supported by allowDependency.

  allowDependency(libs.exam) {
    because("there are reasons!")
  }

Changed

• License URLs which map to multiple SPDX identifiers will now match against any of those identifiers.

  For example, if a license URL matches both EXAMPLE and EXAMPLE-with-exemption you can mark either of those
  IDs as allowed and the dependency will be allowed.

Fixed

• Support reading Maven pom files which use property substitution (${something}) in their XML.
• Support for Gradle configuration cache.
• LicenseeTask is now cachable.
