GWT 1.4.61 released

[Sumit Chandel]

Hi everyone,

The GWT Team has just released GWT 1.4.61, which takes care of some
minor bugs in the previous release of GWT 1.4.60. The two main issues
that were addressed are detailed below:

* Fixed an "Operation Aborted" startup error on IE with complex HTML
pages. Details on this issue can be found in issue #1578 on the Issue
Tracker (http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?
id=1578).

* Fixed a potential XSS vulnerability in hosted mode.

We strongly suggest that you update to GWT 1.4.61 so that your GWT
applications are running with the latest build. To update from GWT
1.4.60 to GWT 1.4.61, follow the steps below for each GWT application
you want to update:

1) Download GWT 1.4.61 for your platform at the link below and unpack
it to the directory of your choice (only needs to be performed once
per platform):

http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/download.html

2) Update your GWT project build path to use the latest GWT JARs. This
includes gwt-user.jar, gwt-dev-<platform>.jar and gwt-servlet.jar if
your application uses GWT-RPC.

3) Update any run configurations or application compile and shell
scripts to include the latest JARs in the classpath (same JARs as
mentioned in step 2).

4) Run a GWT compilation over your project to generate the latest GWT
application files for your project.

5) Deploy the latest GWT application files to your web server.

If you're instead upgrading from GWT 1.3 to GWT 1.4, follow the steps
listed in this FAQ article:
http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=75278&topic=12430

For those of you who have experienced the bugs that GWT 1.4.61 aims to
fix, give the latest build a spin and let us know if you're still
experiencing any problems. Also, please reply back to this thread if
you experience any other difficulty updating to GWT 1.4.61 or
deploying your GWT application with the latest release.

Cheers,
-Sumit Chandel

Hi Sumit

Does this release include the Leopard fix? Or do we need to download
the specific Leopard build?

Thanks

[Eric Ayers]

There is still a separate leopard build. See this FAQ entry:

What is the difference between Sumit's version 1.4.61 released today, and Bruce's version 1.4.61 released on Nov 3rd?

[Sumit Chandel]

Hi Ian,

There are no differences between the 1.4.61 version released yesterday and the 1.4.61 version released on November 3rd. What has changed since then is the GWT downloads page, which now points to the 1.4.61 rather than the 1.4.60 distribution. I also wanted to make a formal announcement to get the word out about the new release on the forum :-)

Thanks,
-Sumit Chandel

Hi Sumit,

Is there a JRE/JDK version requirement ? I am using JDK 1.5 and am
seeing serialization issues when using GWT-RPC. Curious if this could
be because of JDK versions.

Thx

I bumped into the IE thing and it drove me nuts. Great fix!

[gnevarez]

Will you place a tag in the SVN repository??? or can you point me to a
svn tree/revision for this version?

I'm using the lined-tree.patch, and would like to have it working with
1.4.61.

I like to create a new Eclipse project for my application with each
new GWT release, in case there is a reason for me to go back a
release. Every time I go through this, I have to battle Eclipse to
make it use the correct/latest JARs, etc. Is there an easy way to
tell what release is being used by looking at the generated home page
or by calling some GWT method on the client side?

Thanks,

Danny

Use maven .

Try this plugin for eclipse maven integration :

Add a new link in the eclipse find/update plugin :
http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/update/

Try this plugin for GWTCompilation and deployment .

http://gwtforge.com

you will be able to switch between gwt version in seconds .

Fred,

Thanks for the tip. I must look through the JARs more. There are
many goodies buried there.

Hi Gerardo,

To get the 1.4.61 release, just do an svn switch or create a new repository over the 1.4 releases path:

http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/releases/1.4/

If you're only interested in getting the 1.4.61 code, doing an svn switch is the best option. If you want to keep up with the latest and greatest code for 1.4, although it's unlikely that there will be any more changes being made to 1.4, you would want to create a new repository over the path.

Once you've downloaded the 1.4.61 code, apply the lined-tree.patch to it and build. That should get you going.

Hope that helps,
-Sumit Chandel

Is there a list of all issues that are fixed in 1.4.61?

[Sumit Chandel]

Hi Ian,

Indeed there is a listing of the issues fixed in 1.4.61. Check out the release notes at the link below:

Eric, I think you must have hit reply and changed the subject line in
your email client instead of posting a new thread like you probably
intended. This had the effect of changing the subject of the pinned
thread "GWT 1.4.61 Released" to "Gwt Forge Maven plugin Updated !".
I'm trying to change it back now. This is a pretty confusing feature
of Google Groups.

No actually, this is a mailing list which does have specific topics in
the "threads" of a particular message. You might want to brush up on
how mailing lists work before you start hurling profanity at people.
If you respond to an EXISTING message, you are in that "thread," if
you post a NEW message at the root then you have started a new
thread. Clearly your announcement is off topic for this thread.

And then you changed the subject back AGAIN, after Alex fixed it.
Please don't do it another time. If you want to post a new message
about your personal project go for it, but stop hijacking this thread
(which I really doubt was unintentional, though Alex was trying to
give you the benefit of the doubt).

[Eric Ponthiaux]

Understand .

Best regards.

Hi,

I just noticed that the server.rpc packages changed quite a lot from
1.4.60. Gone is the ServerSerializableTypeOracle and it has been
replaced by a provider metaphor. I was wondering what the reasons for
this were and if there were any changes or bug fixes to the basic RCP
behaviour since the 1.4.60 revision.

Regards,
Dan
