8.0.0

Requirements

• Gradle: ≥7.3 for JDK 17 build
• Gradle: ≥6.2 for JDK 11 build

Features

• Support of Node.js Linux ARM64 distributions (#190).
• Retry capability when downloading the Node.js distribution (#201).

Bug fixes

• Task installPackageManager and depending tasks could be executed unexpectedly with corrupted inputs when task resolvePackageManager was skipped (#206).

Breaking changes

• Due to issue #206, support of FGP_NODEJS_HOME environment variable for the Node.js install directory is abandoned as it was impacting significantly implementation of new tasks resolvePackageManager and installPackageManager. However, the same behaviour may be obtained using an explicity configuration of property nodeInstallDirectory (see hereafter).

Upgrading from 7.0.0+

If the build was relying on FGP_NODEJS_HOME environment variable, see this FAQ for an alternative implementation.
