Hi, Compared contents of zips between 5.4.1 and 5.5.0 and verified sha512, looks good!
In the Zip/Tgz, there are some remnants in a directory " *poi*/property(org.gradle.api.**file.Directory, fixed(class org.gradle.api.internal.file.**DefaultFilePropertyFactory$* *FixedDirectory,/..."* with module-info.class-files, likely not a problem, only cosmetic. Tested the upgraded libraries in a number of projects, worked everywhere. So +1 from me. Thanks... Dominik.
