Breaking change in 0.23.0?

I’ve just picked up the new version of your library and we now get the following error when running useLatestVersions:

Could not set unknown property 'resolutionStrategy' for task ':dependencyUpdates' of type com.github.benmanes.gradle.versions.updates.DependencyUpdatesTask.

If we change our gradle config from dependencyUpdates.resolutionStrategy to dependencyUpdates.resolutionStrategyAction things work as before.

Just wondering if this was an intentional change or not before we roll this fix out across our projects?

Released version 0.24.

The direct assignment of the dependencyUpdates.resolutionStrategy property is supported again, but will issue a deprecation warning. Instead of an explicit =, prefer the DSL style of an assignment method.

// old style
dependencyUpdates.resolutionStrategy = { ... }
// proper style
dependencyUpdates.resolutionStrategy { ... }

This deprecated usage will show up as a build warning like other Gradle feature deprecations, where a detailed message is shown when running with --warning-mode=all.

Sorry, this was unintentional. I’ll have a fix out by the end of the weekend.
