Scratch pad for changes destined for the 5.5 release notes page.
The minimum Java release required to run apps created with Tapestry 5.5 is Java 8.
With Java 8, we made the switch to servlet-api 3.0. We updated the embedded Tomcat and Jetty containers to the respective versions. Unfortunately, we had to rename Jetty7Runner to JettyRunner and Tomcat6Runner to TomcatRunner in the tapestry-runner package.
