ANNOUNCE: GWT 1.4.62

[Joel Webber]

All,

The GWT team has just released GWT 1.4.62. It includes fixes for the two issues

known to specifically break the Firefox 3 beta, as well as a fix for a Windows

hosted-mode crash bug. The specific patches are detailed below.

You will want to update to GWT 1.4.62 in order to ensure that your applications

work properly on Firefox 3 when it is formally released. To update from GWT

1.4.61 to 1.4.62, follow the steps below for each GWT application you want to

update:

1) Download GWT 1.4.62 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://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-windows-1.4.62.zip

- http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-mac-1.4.62.tar.gz

- http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-linux-1.4.62.tar.gz

- http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-leopard-1.4.62.tar.gz

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.

For those of you who have experienced the bugs that GWT 1.4.62 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 1.4.62 or

deploying your GWT application with the latest release.

The following patches are included in this release:

r1533:

Fixes issue 1702

insertListItem current created an option element with the wrong

owner document. This causes errors in FF3 preview builds.

r1871:

Fixes issue 1942

FF3 Beta 1 throws WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERROR in getBoxObjectFor if the

element is not attached to the DOM. This affects our implementation

of Tree when an element is selected programmatically on a tree that

is unattached. This change wraps the call to getBoxObjectFor in a

try/catch and returns 0 if a WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERROR occurs, which

emulates what getBoxObjectFor is supposed to do. This bug is set

to P1 in bugzilla, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409111,

so this change can be saftely removed in the future.

r1991, r1995:

Fixes a latent bug in SwtOleGlue.extractStringFromOleCharPtr().  We were

treating the incoming value as a BSTR, but it's really just a naked OLECHAR*.

Hi Joel:
Is there a new compilation axis to support FF3?

Hi.

Shouldn't http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/download.html be updated
to point to 1.4.62? And http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/versions.html

Best,

-ken

Thanks for noticing, and you're right. Our plan was to stage it so that people who are active on the groups would have the earliest access (and would be most likely to give us feedback on the new version). The next step is to change the primary download hyperlink as you suggest, which we'll probably do in the next week or so.

As a data point, have you found that all your code works on FF3 using 1.4.62?

Works fine in FF3 beta 4, thanks.

Hi, the links still appear to point to 1.4.61. Any idea as to when
they will point to the latest release? Thanks!
