[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/compare/2.8.6...2.8.7)
### :mega: Play 2.8.7 Released
The Play Team is happy to announce the releases of Play 2.8.7 and Play 2.7.9.
As we found a regression just after building the 2.8.6 and 2.7.8 releases, we followed up on those without announcing them.
#### :green_book: What is new?
The following are the relevant changes of this bugfix release:
- Let user overwrite limit memory size on form binding [#10543](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/pull/10543)
- The Play Runner now works on Mac OS Big Sur [#10372](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/issues/10372)
- We publish a Maven BOM pom.xml for Play 2.8 [#10549](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/pull/10549)
For more details see the [full list of changes](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/compare/2.8.5...2.8.7/) and the [2.8.6](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/milestone/110?closed=1) and [2.8.7 milestones](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/milestone/111?closed=1).
#### Migration
To make the form binding size limit configurable, some sources may need adaptation to make the `FormBinding` implicits available (see [Parser maxMemoryBuffer limits](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/Migration27#Parser-maxMemoryBuffer-limits)).

### :mega: Play 2.8.5 Released
The Play Team is proud to announce the release of Play 2.8.5.
#### :green_book: What is new?
The following is the main change of this bugfix release:
- (regression since 2.8.0) `Json.toJson` is serializing private fields by default for Jackson ([https://github.com/playframework/playframework/pull/10523](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/pull/10523)). This is potentially a data leak for users handling sensitive data on `private` fields of classes serialized as JSON.
Other improvements in this release:
- Remove the deprecated `FakeKeyStore` ([https://github.com/playframework/playframework/pull/10487](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/pull/10487))
For more details see the [full list of changes](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/compare/2.8.4...2.8.5/) and the [2.8.5 milestone](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/milestone/108?closed=1).

### [`v2.8.0`](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/releases/tag/2.8.0): Play 2.8.0
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/compare/2.7.9...2.8.0)
### :mega: Play 2.8.0 Released
The Play Team is proud to announce the release of Play 2.8.0. This release adds many new features and continues our efforts to make Play more modular, flexible, and secure. Play 2.8.0 is the result of more than **10 months** of relentless work from our fantastic community, comprehending **more than a thousand changes** made from **80 contributors**.
#### :green_book: What is new?
The highlights in Play 2.8.0 include, but are not limited by:
##### Akka 2.6
[Akka 2.6.0 was released](https://akka.io/blog/news/2019/11/06/akka-2.6.0-released) a little over a month ago, and it has new APIs with type-safety for Akka Actors, better stability for Akka Cluster with Artery, and improved serialization.
Play 2.8.0 integrates [Akka Typed](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.6/typed/guide/index.html) with Dependency Injection, full integration with Akka Jackson support, and initial support for [Akka Cluster Sharding Typed](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.6/typed/cluster-sharding.html). These lay down the basis to evolve integration with multiple Akka Typed APIs, such as Akka Persistence Typed.
##### Scala 2.13
Play 2.8.0 not only supports Scala 2.13 but uses it as the default version. Play, all the samples, and seeds all use Scala 2.13 by default now.
##### Java 11
Play 2.8.0 is the first version were we officially support Java 11. Play, its standalone modules, samples and seeds are all tested against AdoptOpenJDK 8 & 11. We continue to support Java 8 as the default version.
##### Final changes to remove Global State
This was a long journey we started a few versions ago, deprecating the APIs, providing dependency injection support, and many other changes. Therefore, Play 2.8 removes APIs such as `Play.current`, `Play.maybeApplication`, and others that depend on them.
##### Improvements to Results APIs
Many minor improvements were made in the Java API: `sendFile`, `sendPath` and `sendResource` now support an `onClose` callback; `send*` methods now accept a parameter to set `Content-Type` header; the type parameter for file names when serving files is now an `Optional` which makes the API nicer when you need to send `Optional.empty` (instead of `null`). Moreover, Range results now support to pre-seek the Source when returning results for requests containing a `Range` header.
#### :gift: Updated Dependencies
Besides updates to newer versions of our own libraries (play-json, play-ws, twirl, cachecontrol, etc), many other important dependencies were updated to the newest versions:
- specs2 4.8.1
- Jackson 2.10.1
- Mockito 3.2.0
- HikariCP 3.4.1
- Hibernate Validator 6.1.0.Final
- Lightbend Config 1.4.0
- Caffeine 2.8.0
- sbt-native-packager 1.5.1
As usual, you can see the more details of those new features in the [release highlights](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/Highlights28) and learn how to migrate in [our migration guide](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/Migration28).
#### :world_map: How to start or migrate to Play 2.8
To get started with Play, follow the instructions in our [Getting Started page](https://www.playframework.com/getting-started). And if you need to migrate from an older version to Play 2.8, see [our migration guide](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/Migration28).
#### :bow: Thanks to our contributors
Finally, many, many thanks to the community for their help with detailed bug reports, discussion about new features, and pull requests.

### :mega: Play 2.7.9 Released
The Play Team is happy to announce the releases of Play 2.8.7 and Play 2.7.9.
As we found a regression just after building the 2.8.6 and 2.7.8 releases, we followed up on those without announcing them.
#### :green_book: What is new?
The following are the relevant changes of this bugfix release:
- Let user overwrite limit memory size on form binding [#10543](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/pull/10543)
- The Play Runner now works on Mac OS Big Sur [#10372](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/issues/10372)
- We publish a Maven BOM pom.xml for Play 2.8 [#10549](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/pull/10549)

#### Migration
To make the form binding size limit configurable, some sources may need adaptation to make the `FormBinding` implicits available (see [Parser maxMemoryBuffer limits](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/Migration27#Parser-maxMemoryBuffer-limits)).

### [`v2.7.3`](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/releases/tag/2.7.3): Play 2.7.3
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/compare/2.7.2...2.7.3)
The Play Team is pleased to announce the release of Play Framework 2.7.3 with binaries for Scala 2.13. This is the latest stable release of Play 2.7.x series.
#### Changelog
In order to have a Scala 2.13 build we needed to remove one internal class that can't be compiled with Scala 2.13 (see https://github.com/playframework/playframework/commit/1ad816eecc4727ad87e2409e77b3d981b282c671 for details). The removed class, `org.jdbcdslog.LogSqlDataSource`, was only used internally so in principle users should not be impact by it.

[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/compare/2.7.1...2.7.2)
The Play Team is pleased to announce the release of Play Framework 2.7.2, the latest stable release of Play.
#### Changelog
Play 2.7.2 is virtually similar to [Play 2.7.1](https://blog.playframework.com/play-2-7-1-released/), released a few days before. It mainly fixes a problem with `play-docs` artifact generation, but from the users' perspective, nothing substantial changed.

[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/playframework/playframework/compare/2.6.25...2.7.0)
The Play Team is proud to announce the release of Play 2.7.0. This release adds many new features and continues our efforts to make Play more modular, flexible, and secure. Play 2.7.0 is the result of more than 1 year of relentless work from our fantastic community comprehending more than 720 changes made from almost 150 contributors.
#### What's new?
The highlights in Play 2.7.0 include:
##### gRPC support
[gRPC](https://grpc.io/) is a transport mechanism for request/response and (non-persistent) streaming use cases. It is a schema-first RPC framework, where your protocol is declared in a [protobuf service descriptor](https://developer.lightbend.com/docs/akka-grpc/0.4.2/proto.html), and requests and responses will be streamed over an HTTP/2 connection. Play now offers [play-grpc](https://togithub.com/playframework/play-grpc) which is a module built on top of [akka-grpc](https://developer.lightbend.com/docs/akka-grpc/current/) and gives you experimental support to declare your services in this format. See Akka gRPC's documentation on [Why gRPC?](https://developer.lightbend.com/docs/akka-grpc/0.4.2/whygrpc.html) for more information about when to use gRPC as your transport.
##### Akka Coordinated Shutdown
Play 2.6 introduced the usage of Akka's [Coordinated Shutdown](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.5.20/actors.html#coordinated-shutdown) but still did not use it all across the core framework or expose it to the end user. Coordinated Shutdown is now used internally to handle Play's lifecycle.
The main advantage is that it gives you fine-grained phases where you can register tasks instead of just having a single phase like Play's application lifecycle. For example, you can add tasks to run before or after server binding, or after all the current requests finishes.
##### New cache implementation using Caffeine
[Caffeine](https://togithub.com/ben-manes/caffeine) is a high performance, near optimal caching library based on Java 8. It is now the underlying cache library used by Play Cache APIs implementation since it is a much better option for a local cache than the version of EhCache we were using before.
##### Enhanced Content Security Policy support
There is a new [Content Security Policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP) filter available that supports CSP nonce and hashes for embedded content. The previous setting of enabling CSP by default and setting it to `default-src 'self'` was too strict, and interfered with browser plugins.
The CSP filter uses Google's [Strict CSP policy](https://csp.withgoogle.com/docs/strict-csp.html) by default, which is a nonce based policy.
##### Direct access to request data without `Http.Context`
Historically, Play used `play.mvc.Http.Context` as a way to access request information and set some response data. It is a crucial part of Java HTTP & MVC APIs, but it is not a proper abstraction of how these APIs should work. You can now make your actions directly receive the request as a parameter, and consistent APIs were added to manipulate its data and the response.
See our [detailed migration guide](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.7.x/JavaHttpContextMigration27) for examples showing how to migrate to the new APIs.
##### Major library updates
Play 2.7 brings a new version of most of its dependencies. The updates mainly include new features, security and overall fixes. See a list of the [most important updates in our migration guide](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.7.x/Migration27#Updated-libraries). Of course,

This release adds many new features and continues our efforts to make Play more modular, flexible, and secure. Play 2.8.0 is the result of more than **10 months** of relentless work from our fantastic community, comprehending **more than a thousand changes** made from **80 contributors**. #### :green_book: What is new? The highlights in Play 2.8.0 include, but are not limited by: ##### Akka 2.6 [Akka 2.6.0 was released](https://akka.io/blog/news/2019/11/06/akka-2.6.0-released) a little over a month ago, and it has new APIs with type-safety for Akka Actors, better stability for Akka Cluster with Artery, and improved serialization. Play 2.8.0 integrates [Akka Typed](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.6/typed/guide/index.html) with Dependency Injection, full integration with Akka Jackson support, and initial support for [Akka Cluster Sharding Typed](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.6/typed/cluster-sharding.html). These lay down the basis to evolve integration with multiple Akka Typed APIs, such as Akka Persistence Typed. ##### Scala 2.13 Play 2.8.0 not only supports Scala 2.13 but uses it as the default version. Play, all the samples, and seeds all use Scala 2.13 by default now. ##### Java 11 Play 2.8.0 is the first version were we officially support Java 11. Play, its standalone modules, samples and seeds are all tested against AdoptOpenJDK 8 & 11. We continue to support Java 8 as the default version. ##### Final changes to remove Global State This was a long journey we started a few versions ago, deprecating the APIs, providing dependency injection support, and many other changes. Therefore, Play 2.8 removes APIs such as `Play.current`, `Play.maybeApplication`, and others that depend on them. ##### Improvements to Results APIs Many minor improvements were made in the Java API: `sendFile`, `sendPath` and `sendResource` now support an `onClose` callback; `send*` methods now accept a parameter to set `Content-Type` header; the type parameter for file names when serving files is now an `Optional` which makes the API nicer when you need to send `Optional.empty` (instead of `null`). Moreover, Range results now support to pre-seek the Source when returning results for requests containing a `Range` header. #### :gift: Updated Dependencies Besides updates to newer versions of our own libraries (play-json, play-ws, twirl, cachecontrol, etc), many other important dependencies were updated to the newest versions: - specs2 4.8.1 - Jackson 2.10.1 - Mockito 3.2.0 - HikariCP 3.4.1 - Hibernate Validator 6.1.0.Final - Lightbend Config 1.4.0 - Caffeine 2.8.0 - sbt-native-packager 1.5.1 As usual, you can see the more details of those new features in the [release highlights](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/Highlights28) and learn how to migrate in [our migration guide](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/Migration28). #### :world_map: How to start or migrate to Play 2.8 To get started with Play, follow the instructions in our [Getting Started page](https://www.playframework.com/getting-started). And if you need to migrate from an older version to Play 2.8, see [our migration guide](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/Migration28). #### :bow: Thanks to our contributors Finally, many, many thanks to the community for their help with detailed bug reports, discussion about new features, and pull requests.

The removed class, `org.jdbcdslog.LogSqlDataSource`, was only used internally so in principle users should not be impact by it.

This release adds many new features and continues our efforts to make Play more modular, flexible, and secure. Play 2.7.0 is the result of more than 1 year of relentless work from our fantastic community comprehending more than 720 changes made from almost 150 contributors. #### What's new? The highlights in Play 2.7.0 include: ##### gRPC support [gRPC](https://grpc.io/) is a transport mechanism for request/response and (non-persistent) streaming use cases. It is a schema-first RPC framework, where your protocol is declared in a [protobuf service descriptor](https://developer.lightbend.com/docs/akka-grpc/0.4.2/proto.html), and requests and responses will be streamed over an HTTP/2 connection. Play now offers [play-grpc](https://togithub.com/playframework/play-grpc) which is a module built on top of [akka-grpc](https://developer.lightbend.com/docs/akka-grpc/current/) and gives you experimental support to declare your services in this format. See Akka gRPC's documentation on [Why gRPC?](https://developer.lightbend.com/docs/akka-grpc/0.4.2/whygrpc.html) for more information about when to use gRPC as your transport. ##### Akka Coordinated Shutdown Play 2.6 introduced the usage of Akka's [Coordinated Shutdown](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.5.20/actors.html#coordinated-shutdown) but still did not use it all across the core framework or expose it to the end user. Coordinated Shutdown is now used internally to handle Play's lifecycle. The main advantage is that it gives you fine-grained phases where you can register tasks instead of just having a single phase like Play's application lifecycle. For example, you can add tasks to run before or after server binding, or after all the current requests finishes. ##### New cache implementation using Caffeine [Caffeine](https://togithub.com/ben-manes/caffeine) is a high performance, near optimal caching library based on Java 8. It is now the underlying cache library used by Play Cache APIs implementation since it is a much better option for a local cache than the version of EhCache we were using before. ##### Enhanced Content Security Policy support There is a new [Content Security Policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP) filter available that supports CSP nonce and hashes for embedded content. The previous setting of enabling CSP by default and setting it to `default-src 'self'` was too strict, and interfered with browser plugins. The CSP filter uses Google's [Strict CSP policy](https://csp.withgoogle.com/docs/strict-csp.html) by default, which is a nonce based policy. ##### Direct access to request data without `Http.Context` Historically, Play used `play.mvc.Http.Context` as a way to access request information and set some response data. It is a crucial part of Java HTTP & MVC APIs, but it is not a proper abstraction of how these APIs should work. You can now make your actions directly receive the request as a parameter, and consistent APIs were added to manipulate its data and the response. See our [detailed migration guide](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.7.x/JavaHttpContextMigration27) for examples showing how to migrate to the new APIs. ##### Major library updates Play 2.7 brings a new version of most of its dependencies. The updates mainly include new features, security and overall fixes. See a list of the [most important updates in our migration guide](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.7.x/Migration27#Updated-libraries). Of course,
