5.0.0

New features:

• Download multiple files in parallel
• Enable concurrent execution with other tasks in the build

• Display destination file name in progress message
• Log retry attempts
• Retry on any exception but UnknownHostException
• Make download and verify extensions compatible with Kotlin and Gradle 8
• Add support for lazy evaluation of Kotlin lambdas

Breaking changes:

• The plugin now requires Java 8 (or higher) and Gradle 5 (or higher)
