### AI overview

Gradle Enterprise 2017.1 introduces build comparison for identifying dependency changes, a timeline visualization for analyzing task execution and bottlenecks, and a Network Activity view for examining dependency downloads and their impact on build time.

### Source excerpt

We are excited to announce the release of Gradle Enterprise 2017.1. This release includes many new features and bug fixes, further expanding the build insights that build scans provide you and your team. Here are some of the highlights of this release. Contact us if you're interested in a demo or a trial. Easily find changes to dependencies between two builds Dependency changes between builds can be a common source of problems. For example, upgrading a version of one library can unintentionally bring in different versions of transitive dependencies into your project. In turn, these newer versions can cause you all kinds of frustration by breaking compatibility with other libraries that your project uses. The new build comparison feature allows you to quickly find dependency changes between builds, including differences in transitive dependencies. You can easily select two builds to compare: And quickly see the dependency differences between the two builds: Visualize your build's task execution with the timeline When trying to make your build faster, it can be really helpful to know whether all processes are utilized efficiently. Are there optimization opportunities such as long-running tasks that could be split into smaller tasks and run in parallel? To find these optimization opportunities you first need to identify where the bottlenecks are in your build. The new timeline feature gives you a visual representation of the tasks executed during your build. Using this visualization you can quickly identify bottleneck tasks in your build, places in your build where you could speed up execution by running more tasks in parallel, and other optimization opportunities. You can also filter tasks by name/path, type and more, making it easy to inspect and highlight particular tasks. Try out the timeline with this example scan. View dependency downloads Time spent downloading dependencies can have a significant impact on your build time. The new "Network Activity" tab in the "
