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? [image: image.png] 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.
