* By offering methods to read and write individual query parameters directly, application
 * developers are saved from the hassles of encoding and decoding.
 *
 * ### Plus a modern API
 *
 * The URL (JDK1.0) and URI (Java 1.4) classes predate builders and instead use telescoping
 * constructors. For example, there's no API to compose a URI with a custom port without also
 * providing a query and fragment.

==== Remove implicit `--add-opens` for Gradle workers
Before Gradle 8.0, Gradle workers on JDK9+ automatically opened JDK modules `java.base/java.util` and `java.base/java.lang` by passing `--add-opens` CLI arguments.
This enabled code executed in a Gradle worker to perform deep reflection on JDK internals without warning or failing.
Workers no longer use these implicit arguments.

    Field tableField = HashMap.class.getDeclaredField("table");
    tableField.setAccessible(true);
    Object[] table = (Object[]) tableField.get(hashMap);
    // In JDK8, table is set lazily, so it may be null.
    return table == null ? 0 : table.length;
  }

  public void testCapacityForLargeSizes() {
    int[] largeExpectedSizes =
        new int[] {

    class To<V> {
      Type type() {
        return new TypeToken<To<V>>(getClass()) {}.getType();
      }
    }
  }

  @SuppressWarnings("RestrictedApiChecker") // crashes under JDK8, which EP no longer supports
  public <T> void testRejectTypeVariable_withOwnerType() {
    // Neither has subclass
    assertHasTypeVariable(new From<Integer>().new To<String>().type());

 * Gradle has replaced HttpClient 4.4.1 with version 4.5.5.
 * Gradle now bundles the `kotlin-stdlib-jdk8` artifact instead of `kotlin-stdlib-jre8`. This may affect your build. Please see the http://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/whatsnew12.html#kotlin-standard-library-artifacts-and-split-packages[Kotlin documentation] for more details.
