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

buildSrc

?

@Marc Knaup 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 (✔️ ). 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.
