+# Apache TomEE 1.7.3 was Released on December 9th 2015
+
+The Apache TomEE community is pleased to announce the release of [Apache TomEE 1.7.3](http://tomee.apache.org/downloads.html), which is based on [Apache Tomcat 7.0.65](http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/index.html), including numerous fixes and updates.
+We know this has been a long time coming, so we thank you for your patience and support.
+
+Please note that the TomEE 1.7.3 drop in WAR file will not work on Apache Tomcat 8. If you are interested in a Tomcat 8.x version then please feel free to check out and [contribute to the developer branch](contribute.html) - We are always interested in any help from the community that we can get.
+
+The Apache TomEE 1.7.3 release files can be downloaded from here:
+
+[http://tomee.apache.org/downloads.html](downloads.html)
+
+###Update Maven POM Files
+
+Simply update your existing Maven JavaEE-API, OpenEJB and or TomEE pom.xml entries to point to the latest versions:
+
+	<dependency>
+		<groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
+		<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
+		<version>6.0-6</version>
+		<scope>provided</scope>

+A complete [Changelog](tomee-1.7.3-release-notes.html) can be viewed here:
+
+[tomee-1.7.3-release-notes.html](tomee-1.7.3-release-notes.html)
+
+Please feel free to jump in feet first and [get started with TomEE](documentation.html). You will nearly always find someone to help you on one of our [support channels](support.html).
+
+###Java EE7 and Beyond
+
+From this point on the TomEE community will be focusing most of it's efforts on TomEE 7.0.0, which will be the first TomEE Java EE 7 driven version running on Apache Tomcat 8.x. 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 for the foreseeable future.
