This new release contains improvement to the runtime to provide support for new features and bug fixes.
For specifiers, it contains the support for the following new features:
- Toolbar action on pages and groups

On the technical side, we have completed our switch to Java 8 and this new version will leverage several new APIs of Java 8.
