[ANNOUNCE] Apache Geb 8.0.0 Released

[Jonny <jo...@apache.org>]

Dear community,

We are pleased to announce version 8.0.0 of Geb, a subproject of Apache
Groovy.

Geb is browser automation for Groovy. Further details about Geb itself can
be found at the https://groovy.apache.org/geb/ website.

This is our first release under the umbrella of the Apache Software
Foundation and Apache Groovy. We are really excited about what the Apache
Community can do for Geb in the future.

We want to thank the entire community for their support in making this
release a reality. In particular, we want to thank Adam Pounder, Sergio del
Amo, Björn Kautler, Paul King, Carl Marcum, and Clay Johnson for their
contributions to this release. We'd also like to thank Marcin Erdmann for
his past contributions and helpful hand-off of the project, as well as Luke
Daley for creating Geb. We'd also like to thank Drew Foulks, Chris
Lambertus, and the entire ASF Infra team for their help moving Geb's
repository, website, and other resources over.

You can read more details about the release in the release notes
<https://groovy.apache.org/geb/manual/current/#8-0-0> and the git changelog
<https://github.com/apache/groovy-geb/compare/v7.0...v8.0.0>. While the
primary updates are around dependencies and platforms (Java 11 as a minimum
version, Groovy 4.0.26 update), there are some nice quality of
life improvements, like better support for closures in JavaScript
execution (see PR 275 <https://github.com/apache/groovy-geb/pull/275>).

Thanks again for everyone's contributions. We're excited about what's ahead.

Best,

Jonny Carter
