@@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ You need a configuration file to run Dakait.  Modify and rename `config.example.
 
 Once you have the jar file, make sure your server has a recent enough version of java.  You can start the server by running the following command
 
-    java -jar dakait-0.0.7-standalone.jar
+    java -jar dakait-0.0.8-standalone.jar
     
 This will start a server and bind to port `3000`.  Now point your browser to `http://server-address:3000/`
