+=== Notable changes
+
+==== Java 8 compilation
+
+AspectJ has been updated to the latest available Eclipse Java compiler
+version that compiles Java8 code (the version available as a feature
+patch on top of Eclipse 4.3.2).
+
+Here is a sample AspectJ8 program:
+
+[source, java]
+....
+// === 8< ==== C.java ==== 8< ===
+import java.util.Arrays;
+
+interface I {
+    // Default method
+    default void foo() {
+        System.out.println("ABC");
+    }
+}
+
+public class C implements I{
+    public static void main(String[] args) {
+        new C().foo();
+        // Lambda
+        Runnable r = () -> { System.out.println("hello world!"); };
+        r.run();
+        // Used Java8 b97
+        Arrays.asList(MyClass.doSomething()).forEach((p) -> System.out.println(p));
+    }
+}
+
+aspect X {
+    before(): execution(* I.foo()) {
+        System.out.println("I.foo running");
+    }
+    before(): staticinitialization(!X) {
+        System.out.println("Clazz "+thisJoinPointStaticPart);
+    }
+}
+
+
+class Utils {
+    public static int compareByLength(String in, String out) {
+        return in.length() - out.length();
+    }
+}
+
+class MyClass {
+    public static String[] doSomething() {
+        String []args = new String[]{"4444","333","22","1"};
+        // Method reference
+        Arrays.sort(args,Utils::compareByLength);
+        return args;
+    }
+}
