v1.21.3

What's Changed

Configurable Git tag messages
You can now customize the message used when creating Git tags via plugin configuration.
Thanks to @ebAtUelzener for the contribution! (#1006)

Improved testing matrix
The CI build matrix has been expanded to validate the plugin against a broader combination of Gradle and Java versions. Tests now cover supported Gradle 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, and current development versions on multiple JDK releases (17, 21, 25, and the latest available early-access JDK where applicable).
