Bumps gradle/actions from 6.0.0 to 6.1.0.

Release notes

Sourced from gradle/actions's releases.

v6.1.0

New: Basic Cache Provider

A new MIT-licensed Basic Caching provider is now available as an alternative to the proprietary Enhanced Caching provided by gradle-actions-caching. Choose Basic Caching by setting cache-provider: basic on setup-gradle or dependency-submission actions.

  • Built on @actions/cache -- fully open source
  • Caches ~/.gradle/caches and ~/.gradle/wrapper directories
  • Cache key derived from build files (*.gradle*, gradle-wrapper.properties, etc.)
  • Clean cache on build file changes (no restore keys, preventing stale entry accumulation)

Limitations vs Enhanced Caching: No cache cleanup, no deduplication of cached content, cached content is fixed unless build files change.

Revamped Licensing & Distribution Documentation

  • New DISTRIBUTION.md documents the licensing of each component (particularly Basic Caching vs Enhanced Caching)
  • Simplified licensing notices in README, docs, and runtime log output
  • Clear usage tiers: Enhanced Caching is free for public repos and in Free Preview for private repos

What's Changed

Full Changelog: gradle/actions@v6.0.1...v6.1.0

v6.0.1

[!IMPORTANT] The release of gradle/actions@v6 contains important changes to the license terms. More details in this blog post. TL;DR: By upgrading to v6, you accept the Terms of Use for the gradle-actions-caching component.

Summary

The license changes in v6 introduced a gradle-actions-caching license notice that is printed in logs and in each job summary.

With this release, the license notice will be muted if build-scan terms have been accepted, or if a Develocity access key is provided.
