In that = sense, we decided that it=E2=80=99s 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;=20 2) Java 6 and Java 7 are not officially supported by Oracle anymore;=20 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=E2=80=99re 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=E2=80=99t want to piss off users still on Java 6 or 7. = That is why we=E2=80=99ll keep maintenance of Wonder 6 in a branch = called wonder_6.
