    which version should I use 8.0.0.Final or 8.1.0.CR2

    jjakub

      I suppose Final is stable,

      CR - does it mean Candidate Release, is it the same as RC in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle ?, is it supposed to be less stable than previous Final version?

      on the other hand CR versions have many bugfixes.

       

      For new production project is it recommended to use 8.1.0.CR2 or 8.0.0.Final ?

          If you wait a few more days, 8.1.0.Final will be released and you can use it instead of the CR2. In general, Final versions are more suited for production environments.

            To add on top of that.

             

            .Final will probably have just two commits/changes over CR2 (undertow upgrade and thread auto tuning fix)

            We tagged CR3 with this two changes in git yesterday and are just running extensive testing against the code and if no problems are found it will be retagged as .Final and released as such.

             

            so in short CR2 is pretty close to what .Final will be in coming days.

            And given that 8.1 is in general bugfix release with only few other changes i would always go for that instead of 8.0.

              As a user of Wildfly I would say wait for 8.1.0 and use that.

               

              It really depends on which parts of Wildfly you will be using, however most of our projects are fine at 8.0.0. Some of our projects are having issues with CDI, Weld and JBeret and require some 8.1.0 Snapshot.
