Gradle 1.2 release outlook

Edit Subject

We are already looking forward to the Gradle 1.2 release. We have started working on the following features:

- Experimental parallel builds (no design doc yet, [parallel spike branch](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/tree...)
- Migration plugin ([design doc](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob..., [master branch](https://github.com/gradle/gradle))
- Improved Dependency Reporting ([design doc](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob..., [master branch](https://github.com/gradle/gradle))

Those features are work in progress but they are available in our repo if you want to give them a try.

Other features that will most likely be added to 1.2:

- Exposing the ivy.xml before publishing (a step towards a functionality similar to Ivy deliver, which will be then also available for pom based dependency management)
- Adding a pom2gradle and pom import plugin to the Gradle core (similar to what the current external plugins are doing)
