+    <para>
+      This is a major change that has caused a binary compatibility in the BASE core
+      API. If you depend on custom extensions or plug-ins that use the biomaterial list
+      API this code must be updated before updating to BASE 3.5. Read more
+      about the incompatibilities in <xref linkend="appendix.incompatible.itemlists" />.

+    <para>
+      Oracle is no longer supporting Java 1.7. We are recommending Java 8
+      for running BASE. Java 7 is still supported, but will be removed
+      in the next version (BASE 3.6).

+    <para>
+      We have now tested BASE with Tomcat 8 and it seems to work without
+      any problems. Support for Tomcat 7 will be removed in the next 
+      version (BASE 3.6).
