Juergen Hoeller opened SPR-17155 and commented

Since other projects in the Spring portfolio have upgraded to Gradle 4.9 in the meantime, let's go beyond 4.8 as well... probably aiming straight for 4.10 for Spring Framework 5.0 RC3.

Affects: 5.1 RC1

Issue Links:

• Upgrade to Gradle 4.8(.1) [SPR-16475] #21020 Upgrade to Gradle 4.8(.1)
