Hi Mario,

We don't upgrade our build environment lightly or frequently, and this will be the last such upgrade for FX 8, since we are hitting rampdown phase 2 in less than two weeks.

Ordinarily, you should expect to receive more notice for these sort of changes, and they should be done as part of a milestone build or similar.

    All,

    Primarily to fix https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-34171 we
    are upgrading our build environment for JavaFX 8 from gradle 1.4
    to gradle 1.8. This will be done prior to next week's build for
    b118. I've been running gradle 1.8 for almost two weeks with no
    issues, and I know other have as well. We are doing final testing
    of the b117 bundles (a build of the b117 sources using gradle-1.8
    will be compared with the gradle-1.4-built production).

    It will continue to be buildable with gradle 1.4 unless / until
    someone pushes a change requiring 1.8, but all developers are
    encouraged to upgrade to gradle 1.8 at their earliest convenient.

    Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi Kevin,

Are you planning to upgrade the build often? If not, what are the plans and schedule for such updates?

It is a real problem for Linux distribution to have a constantly moving build tool, making packaging of JavaFX next to impossible.

Cheers,
Mario
