Hi all, Sorry for double posting, but looks like not everybody is on the Wonder list.
We’ve been talking in the wonder-committers mailing list lately and we think it’s time to move forward with Wonder. In that sense, we decided that it’s time to move to Java 8. A few reasons why moving to Java 8 now makes sense: 1) Java 8 is almost two years old; 2) Java 6 and Java 7 are not officially supported by Oracle anymore; 3) The benefits of moving to Java 7 first is subtle, if not nonexistent; 4) The benefits of developing with Java 8 new features are noticeable. Unless someone has a show stopper reason, we’re planing to make the move in the next few weeks. Here is our TODO list: 1) Release Wonder 6.1.4 containing the changes on master. 2) Create a maintenance branch called wonder_6. 3) Turn the current wonder_7 branch into master. 4) Release Wonder 7.0 compiled with Java 8. Of course, we don’t want to piss off users still on Java 6 or 7. That is why we’ll keep maintenance of Wonder 6 in a branch called wonder_6. Cheers, Henrique _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
