Final Scala 2.10 and Java 7 releases

The upcoming releases of our family of projects will be the final release for Scala 2.10 and Java 7. These should be:

• Finagle 6.35.0
• Finatra 2.1.6
• Util 6.34.0
• Scrooge 4.7.0
• TwitterServer 1.20.0
• Ostrich 9.18.0

Java 7 reached its end-of-life in April 2015 and we would like to begin using the Java 8 libraries as well as remove some Java 7 specific workarounds. Once Scala 2.12 is released, we plan to add support for cross-compiling Scala 2.11 and 2.12.

Note that the scrooge-sbt-plugin will continue to be published for only Scala 2.10 due to sbt plugin requirements.

If important patch releases become necessary we will try to accomodate these needs.

Please let us know if you have any questions, either by getting in touch through @finagle, the Finaglers mailing list, or chat. For Finatra get in touch through @finatra, the Finatra mailing list, or chat.
