0.7.0-alpha.3

[ajoberstar]

Largely trying to get up-to-date with the latest Gradle versions and best practices.

Breaking Changes

• Requires Gradle 6.4+ (drops support for Gradle 5)
• Implementation of clojure {} and clojurescript {} extensions changed to take advantage of Gradle decorating the types for DSL use. Our tests projects didn't require changes, but we don't have full coverage, so you could encounter some issues with mismatched property types.
• Include dev source set's compiled ClojureScript on the nREPL classpath (part of our replacement for Figwheel support) Keep compiled dev cljs on classpath for REPL #167
• Removed ClojureBuild.getSourceSet() and ClojureScriptBuild.getSourceSet() due to incompatibility with Gradle's configuration cache Support Gradle's configuration cache #169

Enhancements

• Updates default nrepl version to 0.9.0
• Updates templates to use Gradle 7.5
• Support Gradle's configuration cache Support Gradle's configuration cache #169

Fixes

• Improves experience (slightly) for tasks that use prepl (it will fail faster if the Clojure runtime fails to start) also it extends the timeout before it abandons startup to 30 seconds for larger projects (hopefully fixes Task clojureRepl fails due to race condition in PreplJava.client #161)
• Fixes a number of deprecation warnings on Gradle 6 and 7

Deprecations

None

Compatibility

Tested on the following version:

Requires Clojure 1.10+ (due to use of prepl)
