 After many months of hard work and dedicated community commitment Apache TomEE is happy to finally announce the feature release of [Apache TomEE 1.7.0](http://tomee.apache.org/downloads.html) which is based on [Apache Tomcat 7.0.54](http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/index.html). Please do not forget that nearly all of the work that goes into this purely open source project is community driven. Very special thanks go out to all that have dedicated their time to make this release possible. Anyone active on the [mailing lists and/or IRC](http://tomee.apache.org/support.html) will know that an extra special thanks for [Romain Manni-Bucau](http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com) is well deserved.

 ###PLUME
 
 One the most important features has to be the new PLUME profile, which is basically TomEE PLUS with [Mojarra](https://javaserverfaces.java.net/) and [EclipseLink](http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/) added support.  
 This makes the transition to TomEE from a Glassfish environment a lot less painful. So no more excuses, come and join us - We're all yours!

-A lot of work has been completed to ensure that Apache TomEE 1.7.x will run within a Java 8 environment, yet remain backwards compatible with Java 6. Several libraries used have been shaded and patched to achieve this goal.

 ###Bug Fixes and Improvements
 
 In addition to PLUME and Java 8 support there have been a train, plane and truck load of tweaks, improvements and bug fixes to make this release one of the most stable and feature rich versions we have ever released. Just have a quick look at these lists to get an idea of how much has been achieved. Amazing!

 ###Java EE7 and Beyond

+From this point on the TomEE community will be focusing most of it's efforts on TomEE 2.0.x, which will be the Java EE 7 driven. It is more than likely that support for Java SE 6 will be dropped so that Java SE 7 features can finally be leveraged during the development process. We will of course continue to maintain the 1.7.x branch.
