We might do an upgrade during some JDK 8u release (e.g., 8u20 or 8u40),
but there would need to be a good reason to do so.

Hi Kevin,
Ok, so this should be the last change at least until the beginning of
JFX9, that's a good news.
Thanks,

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
