Play v2.7.0-RC9 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-01-14 // about 5 years ago
  • πŸš€ The Play team is proud to announce a new, hopefully, the last, release candidate for Play 2.7.0. With this release candidate, we are fixing some issues found in RC8 and thus approaching an upcoming GA release. We are also moving closer to the idea of freezing the APIs.

    πŸš€ As with the previous RC, the primary goal is to get feedback, so please let us know if something isn't working or you see something that should be improved. If you are the author of a Play module, we would recommend checking out this release to see how it will affect your module. If there are changes not well documented in javadocs, scaladocs or our migration guides, please, let us know so that we can improve them before the general availability release.

    πŸš€ There are many improvements and changes at this new release compared to the previous RC. For more details see the full list of changes. But as we did for Play 2.6, we pushed to have a smooth migration from the previous version.
