Feign 8.x will no longer support Dagger, nor interfaces annotated with `javax.inject.@Named`. Users must migrate from `javax.inject.@Named` to `feign.@Param` via Feign v7.1+ before attempting to update to Feign 8.0.
For example, the following uses `@Param` as opposed to `@Named` to annotate template parameters.
```java
interface GitHub {
@RequestLine("GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/contributors")
List<Contributor> contributors(@Param("owner") String owner, @Param("repo") String repo);
}
```
AssertJ has more powerful test assertions and does not run the risk of
interfering with the classpath of main code, such as guava does. This
removes guava from test and example code and adjusts using AssertJ in
some cases.
JUnit Rules, such as MockWebServerRule, reduce boilerplate setup present
in our tests. By migrating off TestNG, and onto rules, our tests become
more maintainable as JUnit is well understood.
Request/Response/RequestTemplate are now fundamentally based on a byte[] body field.
For Request/RequestTemplate, if a charset is provided, it can be treated as text.
For many users of the library, the change should barely be noticeable, as the methods that
were changed were mostly used internally.
There were some non-backwards-compatible signature changes that require a
major version bump, however.
