Hi,

I suggest we release JMeter 5.6.1 soon as the latest 5.6 has several issues:
* ThreadGroups run forever in non-GUI mode if JMX is saved with 5.6 (fix
merged)
* Java samplers can't be re-enabled after disabling them (fix merged)

I included unicode filename encoding to 5.6, however, it was based on an
outdated RFC.
The current browsers use UTF-8 by default for encoding the data, and if the
filename can't be encoded, Chrome uses HTML entities.

I suggest we go for UTF-8 by default, since, well, the browsers do that,
and Java 18+ uses UTF-8 by default thanks to JEP 400.
The PR is https://github.com/apache/jmeter/pull/6010

Any thoughts?

The other improvements would be:
* Moving to Gradle JVM Toolchains, so we can use different JDKs for
building, testing, and executing Gradle (merged)
* CI testing with Java 21 (merged)
* bumping third-party patch versions (we can bump some patch versions from
https://github.com/apache/jmeter/issues/5823 )
