5.0.0-rc.7

This release includes a number of breaking changes, with the main user highlight being the long awaited configuration cache support.

Breaking Changes

• Upgrade to JGit 6
• Drops support for Java 8 (due to JGit upgrade)
• Drops support for Gradle 4, 5, and 6
• Drops support for Groovy 2
• org.ajoberstar.grgit is no longer auto-applied to all subprojects, you must apply it to any project that wants to access the grgit property

Enhancements

• #322 --configuration-cache is now supported (thanks @abelom and @runningcode)
• #354 A new org.ajoberstar.grgit-service plugin is available to provide lazy access to a GrgitService (a Gradle BuildService). See the README for tips on how to use this.
