Added

  shadow {
    // Disable publishing `shadowRuntimeElements` as an optional variant of the `java` component.
    addShadowVariantIntoJavaComponent = false
  }
  
  // configuration must be done in the `afterEvaluate` phase, you cannot access `shadowRuntimeElements` before that.
  val javaComponent = components["java"] as AdhocComponentWithVariants
  javaComponent.withVariantsFromConfiguration(configurations["shadowRuntimeElements"]) {
    // See more details in https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/pull/1662.
    skip()
  }
  

• Allow opting out of TARGET_JVM_VERSION_ATTRIBUTE. (#1674)

  shadow {
    // Disable adding `TargetJvmVersion` attribute into the Gradle Module Metadata of the shadowed jar.
    addTargetJvmVersionAttribute = false
  }
  

• Allow opting out of Multi-Release attribute. (#1675)

  tasks.shadowJar {
    // Disable adding `Multi-Release` attribute into the manifest of the shadowed jar.
    addMultiReleaseAttribute = false
  }
  

Changed

• Don't inject TargetJvmVersion attribute when automatic JVM targeting is disabled. (#1666)
• Do not write modified class files for no-op relocations. (#1694)
• BREAKING CHANGE: The introduction of some afterEvaluate usages may cause configuration issues in rare cases.
