 # Usage
 The plugin must be applied on project that contains `docker-compose.yml` file. It supposes that [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) are installed and available in `PATH`.
 
+> Starting from plugin version _0.17.6_, Gradle 6.1 is required, because _Task.usesService()_ is used.
+
 > Starting from plugin version _0.17.0_, _useDockerComposeV2_ property defaults to _true_, so the new `docker compose` (instead of deprecated `docker-compose` is used).
 
 > Starting from plugin version _0.10.0_, Gradle 4.9 or newer is required (because it uses [Task Configuration Avoidance API](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/task_configuration_avoidance.html)).
