The upgrade from io.fabric8:openshift-client v4.6.4 to v7.8.0 is a major version update that spans three major releases (v5, v6, and v7) and introduces significant breaking changes requiring code and environment modifications.

Key Breaking Changes:

• Java 11 Required: Starting with version 7.0.0, the client requires Java 11 as the minimum runtime version, dropping support for Java 8. Projects using older Java versions must upgrade their JDK.
• Default HTTP Client Changed: The default underlying HTTP client has been switched from OkHttp to Vert.x in v7.0.0. While this is intended to be a seamless change for many, applications that relied on OkHttp-specific features or configurations must now explicitly include the io.fabric8:kubernetes-httpclient-okhttp dependency to maintain the previous behavior.
• API and Artifact Removals: Several deprecated classes and artifacts have been removed, which will cause compilation failures if used:
  • The io.fabric8:openshift-server-mock artifact and the OpenShiftMockServer class have been removed. Tests must be migrated to use KubernetesMockServer.
  • The SupportTestingClient interface has been removed.
  • The deprecated Config.errorMessages field has been removed.
  • The io:fabric8:service-catalog extension has been removed.

Recommendation:
This upgrade requires significant developer action. Before merging, you must:

1. Ensure your project's runtime and build environment is on Java 11 or newer.
2. Review your testing infrastructure and migrate any usage of OpenShiftMockServer to KubernetesMockServer.
3. Analyze your code for usage of removed classes and methods and refactor accordingly.
4. If you rely on OkHttp-specific behavior, add the kubernetes-httpclient-okhttp dependency to your project.
