**BREAKING CHANGE:** Due to adoption of the latest version of the `com.gradle.plugin-publish` plugin, the maven GAV coordinates have changed as of this version.

- Re-organize some code to remove need for forcing the Gradle API ClassLoader to allow the `org.apache.tools.zip` package.
- Upgrade JDOM library from 1.1 to 2.0.5 (change dependency from `jdom:jdom:1.1` to `org.jdom:jdom2:2.0.5`), [#98](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/98)

## [1.1.2] - 2014-09-09
[1.1.2]: https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/releases/tag/1.1.2

- fix bug in `runShadow` where dependencies from the `shadow` configuration are not available, [#94](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/94)

## [1.1.1] - 2014-08-27
[1.1.1]: https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/releases/tag/1.1.1

- Fix bug in `'createStartScripts'` task that was causing it to not execute `'shadowJar'` task, [#90](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/90)
- Do not include `null` in ShadowJar Manifest `'Class-Path'` value when `jar` task does not specify a value for it, [#92](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/92)
- ShadowJar Manifest `'Class-Path'` should reference jars from `'shadow'` config as relative to location of `shadowJar` output, [#91](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/91)

## [1.1.0] - 2014-08-26
[1.1.0]: https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/releases/tag/1.1.0

- **Breaking Change!** Fix leaking of `shadowJar.manifest` into `jar.manifest`, [#82](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/82)
  To simplify behavior, the `shadowJar.appendManifest` method has been removed. Replace uses with `shadowJar.manifest`
- `ShadowTask` now has a `configurations` property that is resolved to the files in the resolved configuration before
  being added to the copy spec. This allows for an easier implementation for filtering. The default 'shadowJar' task
  has the convention of adding the `'runtime'` scope to this list. Manually created instances of `ShadowTask` have no
  configurations added by default and can be configured by setting `task.configurations`.
- Properly configure integration with the `'maven'` plugin when added. When adding `'maven'` the `'uploadShadow'` task
  will now properly configure the POM dependencies by removing the `'compile'` and `'runtime'` configurations from the
  POM and adding the `'shadow'` configuration as a `RUNTIME` scope in the POM. This behavior matches the behavior when
  using the `'maven-publish'` plugin.
- [Matt Hurne](https://github.com/matthurne) - Allow `ServiceFileTransformer` to specify include/exclude patterns for
  files within the configured path to merge.
- [Matt Hurne](https://github.com/matthurne) - Added `GroovyExtensionModuleTransformer` for merging Groovy Extension module
  descriptor files. The existing `ServiceFileTransformer` now excludes Groovy Extension Module descriptors by default.
- `distShadowZip` and `distShadowZip` now contain the shadow library and run scripts instead of the default from the
  `'application'` plugin, [#89](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/89)

## [1.0.3] - 2014-07-29

## [1.0.2] - 2014-07-07
[1.0.2]: https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/releases/tag/1.0.2

## [1.0.0] - 2014-06-27
[1.0.0]: https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/releases/tag/1.0.0

- Previously known as v0.9.0
- All changes from 0.9.0-M1 to 0.9.0-M5
- Properly configure the ShadowJar task inputs to observe the include/excludes from the `dependencies` block. This
  allows UP-TO-DATE checking to work properly when changing the `dependencies` rulea, [#54](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/54)
- Apply relocation remappings to classes and imports in source project, [#55](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/55)
- Do not create directories in jar for source of remapped class, created directories in jar for destination of remapped classes, [#53](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/53)

## [0.9.0-M5] - 2014-06-26
[0.9.0-M5]: https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/releases/tag/0.9.0-M5

- Add commons-io to compile classpath
- Update asm library to 4.1

## [0.9.0-M4] - 2014-06-21
[0.9.0-M4]: https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/releases/tag/0.9.0-M4

- Break plugin into multiple sub-plugins. `ShadowBasePlugin` is always applied.
  `ShadowJavaPlugin` and `ShadowApplicationPlugin` are applied in reaction to applying the `java` and `application`
  plugins respectively.
- Shadow does not applied `java` plugin automatically. `java` or `groovy` must be applied in conjunction with `shadow`.
- Moved artifact filtering to `dependencies {}` block underneath `shadowJar`. This allows better include/exclude control
  for dependencies.
- Dependencies added to the `shadow` configuration are automatically added to the `Class-Path` attribute in the manifest
  for `shadowJar`
- Applying `application` plugin and settings `mainClassName` automatically configures the `Main-Class` attribute in
  the manifest for `shadowJar`
- `runShadow` now utilizes the output of the `shadowJar` and executes using `java -jar <shadow jar file>`
- Start Scripts for shadow distribution now utilize `java -jar` to execute instead of placing all files on classpath
  and executing main class.
- Excluding/Including dependencies no longer includes transitive dependencies. All dependencies for inclusion/exclusion
  must be explicitly configured via a spec.

## [0.9.0-M3] - 2014-06-14
[0.9.0-M3]: https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/releases/tag/0.9.0-M3
