The goal of this task is to provide a solution encouraging users to update their dokka. As we see in bintray graph a lot of them are still using older versions.
I think there are 2 steps:
- automatically informing about new dokka version. This can be done either on a separate task or during dokka build.
- think if it is a good and feasible idea to have something to automatically bump version for a user and change configuration accordingly. Ofc user should have an ability to enable/disable that feature.

I think the best encouragement would be extensive documentation :)
Multiple times I have tried updating dokka and stopped because I grew frustrated.
DokkaMultiModuleTask and the like are not mentioned in the official documentation (from what I found). I still get @see spams. Yes, I usually report these things, but sometimes ain't got the energy for that.

I spent already two days trying to update from 0.10.1 to 1.4.0.
And I'm still not able to make it running in my setup https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/issues/1463
A completely rewritten and much more complicated configuration is another reason why an update is quite hard.
