Juergen Hoeller opened SPR-16080 and commented

There's an RC for Gradle 4.3 in the meantime, so in all likelihood it'll be GA in time for our 5.0.2 release in November. However, Gradle 4.4 is scheduled for mid November already, so we might wait for that right away... and possibly only upgrade for 5.0.3 or even just 5.1?

Affects: 5.0.1
