This release contains only minor functional changes, but adds two additional artifacts:

wiremock-jre8

wiremock-jre8-standalone

These are built with and for Java 8, and crucially have up-to-date dependencies. This allows continued support of JDK7 and Android while avoiding the problems associated with obsolete (but Java 7 compatible) dependencies for Java 8+ users.

In particular, Jetty, Guava and Handlebars are now all at their latest versions, and will continue to track new releases in future.

A new doc page has been added to explain how to install the various different versions and help decide which is most appropriate to use:

http://wiremock.org/docs/download-and-installation/

Since this change has involved some fairly major surgery on the build and WireMock itself, I'd welcome any feedback on experience using the new artifacts in the wild.

Good news!

This wouldn't by any chance improve the XPath 1.0 situation?

Regards,

I haven't done anything explicitly to upgrade the XPath version as part of this, but neither have I tested whether the Java upgrade would have that effect.
