Changed

• Improve the error message for empty mainClassName. (#1601)
• Default duplicatesStrategy back to EXCLUDE. (#1617)
  • This strategy is consistent with 8.x series behavior, which is more compatible for most users upgrading.
  • For most ResourceTransformer users, you need to override the strategy to INCLUDE to make them work.
  • Strongly suggest declaring the duplicatesStrategy explicitly in your ShadowJar configuration to avoid confusion.
  • See more details about the strategies at Handling Duplicates Strategy.

Fixed

• Fix the regression of can't shadow directory inputs. (#1606)
• Fix the regression of MinimizeDependencyFilter. (#1611)

9.0.0

[!WARNING] This release is a major update from the 8.x series. The plugin has been fully rewritten in Kotlin, bringing significant improvements to maintainability, performance, and future extensibility. It introduces many new features, enhancements, and bug fixes, and includes several breaking changes. Please review the changelog carefully and consult the new doc site before upgrading.

If you really don't want to upgrade, you can still use the 8.3.x, which is also Gradle 9 compatible. But no additional features or crucial bug fixes will be included in the 8.x line.

[!TIP] You can diff the shadowed JARs when upgrading from 8.x to 9.x by using Diffuse.
If there are any things missing in the changelog or the doc site, please report them to us.
