### Configuration avoidance for Tasks

[In a recent blog post](https://blog.gradle.org/preview-avoiding-task-configuration-time), we described a new API for creating and configuration `Task` instances that allow Gradle to avoid creating and configuring tasks that do not need to be executed.

In this release, we now [recommend that you use this new API when working with tasks](userguide/task_configuration_avoidance.html).

By default, the Kotlin DSL [uses the new APIs](current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#type-safe-accessors).

"Old style" task declarations in the Groovy DSL continue to be eager and force creation/configuration of any tasks created this way.
```
// "Old style" task declaration uses Task create API. This always creates a task.
task myTask(type: MyTask) {
// This is always called
}
```

In Groovy, to use the new API:
```
tasks.register("myTask", MyTask) {

}
```

The existing API is not deprecated, but as builds transition to the new API, we will consider deprecating the API in a future release.
