Hi René,

We’re dropping support for Java 5 (and 6 and 7) on master branch. The wonder_6 
branch will receive bug fixes only. Neither new features nor improvements are 
planned for the wonder_6 branch.

That said, Wonder is an open source project and all kinds of contributions are 
welcome.

Cheers,

Henrique
