4.0.2

This bug-fix release addresses two regressions in 4.0/4.0.1 that may lead to hanging build executions and one that can cause issues with dependency excludes. If your project uses Gradle 4.0 or 4.0.1, please update to 4.0.2.

Fixed issues:

• gradle/gradle#2415: Resolving metadata from parent POM can hang the build
• gradle/gradle#2407: Exceptions in @OutputFiles method can hang the build w/o reporting exceptions
• gradle/gradle#2480: Dependency excludes defined in a beforeResolve hook should be respected

Upgrade Instructions

Switch your build to use Gradle 4.0.2 by updating your wrapper properties:

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=4.0.2

Standalone downloads are available at https://gradle.org/install.
