I'm the OP of this post, which was changed to show Dropwizard home page. My initial post was about the release notes for Dropwizard 0.8 (https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/0.8.0/docs/about/rel...)

They are quite significant. IMO, the most relevant one is the move to Jersey 2 (the Jersey framework is THE JAX-RS implementation for building REST services) which supports Server side async requests (https://jersey.java.net/nonav/documentation/2.0/async.html#d...) and took quite a lot of work to be implemented in Dropwizard.

Finally, here is a link to third-party modules for DW: http://modules.dropwizard.io/
