During June 2025, this developer focused on modernizing the build configuration for the cashapp/misk repository by migrating the Kotlin compiler setup to the Gradle compilerOptions DSL. This transition replaced the deprecated kotlinOptions, maintained the JVM target at version 11, and ensured compatibility with newer Gradle and Kotlin releases. The work emphasized build system configuration and regression-proofing, reducing the risk of deprecated usage and supporting future upgrades. Utilizing Gradle and Kotlin, the developer improved build stability and maintainability without introducing new bugs. The update streamlined the build pipeline, aligning the project with current best practices in build tooling modernization.
