v2.0-rc.1 🌈

[bitwiseman]

Major version bump to v2.x

I would love for github-api v2.x to be a larger change that has major new features.

However, the most pressing need is clearing technical debt for better stability and ease of adding new features. These changes break binary compatibility requiring a major version bump.

v2.0 includes:

• Drop support for Java 8
• Remove functional dependencies on HttpURLConnection
• Remove most deprecated classes and methods
• Remove all "bridge methods"
• Test clean up
• Site generation updates
• First GraphQL endpoint

Hey @bitwiseman,

Thanks for the release!

I wanted to check all is good on my side with this new version but apparently it's not available on Maven Central (yet? but it has been 5 hours since your release post so it looks a bit odd).

Looks like the release job failed. I'll take a look.

[bitwiseman]

Fixed!

@bitwiseman it's all good from my side. And I see you removed the IOException from some getHtmlUrl() call, which is very nice. Thanks!
