Hi,

As always, thanks PJ for preparing the release!

I compared release artifacts and the contents of directory META-INF in the
main jar-file is fairly different between 5.0.3 and 5.1.0, probably due to
switching to Gradle.

Is this expected?

The "Java 9+" support may break because related files are not located under
"version/9" directory any more, or?

Also not sure if we need to include LICENSE and NOTICE files in each jar
for legal reasons, but previously we did and now not any more.

And META-INF/maven is gone, not sure if that is relevant, though.

Dominik.
