Is there a parallel launch of a new Gradle version so that the embedded compiler is also 1.3 for `buildSrc`?

<@U1UQX3JCC> I know the Gradle team is working diligently on a new release.

Last I heard, the two things that were really blocking 5.0 for Gradle was Kotlin 1.3 (:heavy_check_mark: ).
Additionally there's an issue that Groovy introduced where the `@CompileStatic` annotation in the newest version of Groovy broke a bunch of things.

The Gradle team is working on fixing the Groovy issue for the Gradle 5.0 release.

TL;DR: You may have to wait a little longer for Gradle 5.0.
