I remember we had a similar case years ago when Java 1.4 introduced StringBuffer.append(StringBuffer) and a release built on 1.4 would no longer work on 1.3. This is too bad. Can --release fix it only if Java8 is installed (or at least its rt.jar) in additon to the JDK your building with? > This mail is just an advance notice to users who might have been > planning to upgrade their setups to this released version, to wait for a > newer release, Sounds as if we should also put that as "news" on the website, on the home page and into the FAQ (known problems).
