Fedora 3.8.1 is the FINAL release of the Fedora 3.x branch, and primarily intended for institutions running Fedora 3 as a production service.  All new users are encouraged to install the Fedora 4 release.

JDK Compatibility

In accordance with the DuraSpace JDK Support Policy, Fedora 3.8.1 release binaries were built under Java 8, and will not run under JDK 7.

JDK 7 Sites

The source code should still be compilable under JDK 7 with minor edits to the pom.xml. The functional changes for the release were completed under v3.8.1-RC2, with subsequent changes limited to Javadoc changes and the JDK 8 target.

JDK 8 Javadoc Linter and JAXB

The javadoc distributed with JDK 8 validates with a stricter linter, and the JAXB generated code in the project will not produce valid javadoc if the JAXB implementation version is less than 2.2.11. While it is unnecessary to run Fedora 3.8.1, installers or developers who wish to run the maven site or javadoc plugins on the Fedora 3.8.1 codebase may need to use the Java Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism to install a more recent JAXB implementation.

Downloads

The binaries for this release may be downloaded on Sourceforge or from Maven Central. The project may be built from source at GitHub.
