Great News...noticed the package size also reduced from 506.8 MB to 483.3 MB for the tar package, which is good. But how was that achieved?

Hi,  It seems that bom file has not been released. The same problem  occurred when the CE 7.1.1 was released. Gradle workspace plugin can not resolve dependencies. https://repository.liferay.com/nexus/content/repositories/liferay-public-releases/com/liferay/portal/release.portal.bom/
