I am happy to announce that the WildFly 14 release is Java EE8 Certified! Since WildFly is now certified, the default EE7 mode and EE8 preview option have been dropped. The server now only provides EE8 APIs in all run modes. Since Java EE8 is backwards compatible with EE7, applications developed against EE7 (and earlier) will still run on WildFly 14.

This is our third release following our new quarterly delivery model. A major theme of this plan, was to deliver EE8 functionality in fully completed incremental chunks, as opposed to waiting for everything to finish in a big bang release. This goal has now been completed, and we greatly appreciate the feedback and support from the community during this process. We plan to continue this model going forward.
