# Description of Changes
This pull request upgrades the Gradle build system from version 8.12 to
8.14 across the Stirling-PDF project to enhance build stability,
compatibility, and performance. The changes include:
- **What was changed**:
- Updated the Gradle wrapper version in
`gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties` from `8.12` to `8.14`.
- Modified the `tasks.wrapper` configuration in `build.gradle` to
specify `gradleVersion = "8.14"`.
- Updated Gradle version references in GitHub Actions workflows
(`multiOSReleases.yml`, `push-docker.yml`, `releaseArtifacts.yml`) from
`8.12` to `8.14` to ensure consistent CI/CD builds.
- **Why the change was made**:
- Gradle 8.14 includes bug fixes, performance improvements, and enhanced
compatibility with newer JDK versions (e.g., Java 17 and 21, as
supported by Stirling-PDF).
- Ensures alignment with the latest Gradle features and security
patches, reducing potential build issues in development and CI/CD
environments.
- Supports the project's recommendation to use newer JDK versions (e.g.,
Java 21) and improves integration with the Foojay Toolchains Plugin.
- **Challenges encountered**:
- Verified compatibility of Gradle 8.14 with existing plugins (e.g.,
`org.springframework.boot`, `org.sonarqube`, `com.diffplug.spotless`) to
ensure no breaking changes.
- Tested CI/CD workflows to confirm that the updated Gradle version does
not introduce failures in build, test, or deployment pipelines.
- Ensured the Gradle wrapper distribution URL is correctly updated to
avoid download issues.
