V8.0.0-beta.0

Release 320

Highlights

This release provides the initial support for deploying the application to GAE's Java 11 runtime, a part of GAE standard environment second generation runtime.

This affects the development practice in the following manner:

• Local development server is started with ./gradlew serverRun instead of ./gradlew appengineRun.
• Local Datastore emulator is to be started separately, with ./gradlew runDatastoreEmulator.
• To develop search-related features, one needs to run Apache Solr instance separately.
• build.properties: Update the values for app.localdatastore.port, app.search.service.host, app.admins.
• test.properties (component tests): Update the values for test.localdatastore.port, test.search.service.host.
• test.properties (E2E tests): Update the values for test.search.active.
