[ANN] Geb 2.0-rc-1 has been released

[Marcin Erdmann]

Hi everyone,

Version 2.0-rc-1 of Geb is now available from Maven Central.

Given it's a release candidate, it will be highly appreciated if you can try it out and provide feedback.

The release of the next major version after only two releases in the 1.x line is caused by unavoidable breaking changes. The main change is that Java 8 is now used to build Geb (instead of Java 7) and it is required due to upgrade to the 3.x line of WebDriver which itself is built using Java 8.

Please note that this release includes a number of other breaking changes together with a handful of fixes and improvements. A full list of changes is as usual available from the Book of Geb at http://www.gebish.org/manual/snapshot/#2-0-rc-1.

Cheers,

Marcin
