Maintenance:

• Add integration tests for Gradle 6.1

Maintenance:

• Add integration tests for Gradle up to version 6.0.1
• Migrate CI to GitHub Actions

Bug fixes:

• Fix compatibility with Gradle 6
• Fix deprecation warnings regarding missing task annotations

Bug fixes:

• Fix performance regression introduced in version 4.0.0: Download speed was slower and CPU usage was higher than usual because the Apache HttpClient library used internally wasted too much time on logging. Logging is now disabled by default and can be re-enabled if necessary by setting the system property de.undercouch.gradle.tasks.download.org.apache.commons.logging.Log to de.undercouch.gradle.tasks.download.org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger. See issue #141 .
