resilience4j: Springboot application failing on startup with version 1.6.0

Resilience4j version: 1.6.0

Java version: 1.8

Hello Team,

We are trying to upgrade to resilience4j from Hystrix but during the update, our application fails to start with version 1.6.0 whereas it worked well with older version 1.5.0 (which doesn’t support multiple method parameters with @CircuitBreaker).

It is not clear from the release notes, what other dependencies have changed with 1.6.0. Could you please help me figure this out with the help of the below exception trace,
