Support for Gradle 5.6 has been deprecated since 2.3 so we should drop it in 2.5. Until Gradle 7 is released we should continue to support 6.3+ of Gradle 6.x. If Gradle 7 is released during 2.5's development, we should consider supporting the last 6.x release and 7.x.

@divyajnu08 thank you for the offer. We're not yet sure how we're going to approach this so I don't think it's a great candidate for an external contribution at this point I am afraid. That said, we might have a better idea during the course of 2.5.x (and when/if Gradle 7 is released) so that this issue can be clarified and worked on by an external contributor. We're eager to help you learn so please continue watching this repository for an existing issue (or contribute new ideas of your own).

7.0 RC1 is currently due on 19 February so it looks like supporting the latest 6.x release and 7.x in 2.5 may work out.

We're going to drop support for 5.6.x now and then add official support for 7.0 when it GAs. We're currently testing against 7.0-milestone-3 so we're already in pretty good shape there. Also, we may yet raise the minimum version of Gradle 6 that we support.
