We can't easily upgrade to Gradle 8, but at least we can use the latest release of Gradle 7.
Upgrading to 7.6.4 addresses some security vulnerabilities. See the release notes for details.
Upgrading is a simple matter of changing the properties file: the upgrade does not involve any changes to the Gradle JAR. (@tonihele I ran the update command twice, just in case.)
Long-term, we should clean up the project so it can migrate to Gradle 8 ... and perhaps Kotlin-based Gradle as well, since that's where the world appears to be headed.
