I’m pleased to inform you that we have finally released JRebirth 8.0.0.
Please note that this version is only compatible with Java 8.
This is the first release of the 8.x branch that have been merged on the master branch.
The 7.x branch will be frozen on the 7.7.5 version until someone ask me to fix an issue (and if they can not migrate to 8.0.0 version).

This new version uses several new features brought by Java 8 like Multiple annotations (ie: OnWave …), default methods used by Resource engine.
It introduces new concepts: Behavior, InnerComponent, Reference Commands.
