Hi folks! Behind the scene there was a lot of work done towards EE8. Not directly in TomEE, but in most parts which are needed
* Tomcat 9 for Servlet 4.0 - While the final API is not yet ready we already have many public Milestone builds * OpenWebBeans-2.0.x for CDI 2.0 - We already implemented most of the new features and are down to 35 failing TCK tests (out of 1300). Might take us 2 more weeks to finish, but we are already very close * BVal - Matt Benson is working like wild for implementing the new spec changes. Once OWB is finished Romain and I will join the effort with more power. Others are welcome to help of course! * Johnzon for JSON-P 1.1 and JSON-B 1.0: 1.1.1 is currently being released. Works like a charm! * MyFaces - gonna need to check the latest status, but I think Leo has already implemented most things * OpenJPA - lags a bit behind, but there have been no changes so far in JPA for EE8 anyway * Geronimo - we have quite a few new spec versions to be released. Most are already implemented and just need to get released once the specs go final and we can compare our signatures with the ones from the official artifacts. How to name the baby? TomEE-8.0.0 seems quite natural to me, wdyt? When to branch away from trunk? After OWB is finished? C'mon, tell me what you think, lords and ladies! LieGrue, strub
