Hi Spraguer,

You should be able to find the Linux distribution of GWT 1.4 at the
link below:
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-linux-1.4.60.tar.bz2

Could you tell me where you found the link you posted on the GWT site?

Thanks,
-Sumit Chandel

[Dan Peterson]

Hi Spraguer,

Thanks for letting us know about that. This should be fixed now. We recently changed the compression from tar.gz to tar.bz2 for the linux distro, and we neglected to update one of the links with the original website push.

Linux distro should work now: http://code.google.com/download.html

Happy coding!

Er ... remind me to sleep before posting. I meant: http://code.google.com/webtookit/download.html

There seems to be something wrong with this page. It stops just after telling
you wnat you had coded in 1.3 and before telling you what to replace it with
in 1.4 when talking about the new bootstrap process in section 2.

Does this mean "gwt-linux-1.4.59" is the final 1.4 version, or do I
need to upgrade again?

Does this mean work on 1.5 starts now?

[thierryd]

No, 1.5.60 is the final 1.4 version (it include a small fix for the
benchmarking issue).

Work on 1.5 has already started. And they have started big by starting
with Java 5 support. Whoohoo! :D

(see the GWT contributor group for more info)

tdr :)

[thierryd]

Oops, sorry, I meant 1.4.60, not 1.5.60....

tdr :)

Hi David,

Thanks for pointing this out. There was some text that needed to be escaped in the documentation that we missed. Try it out now, it should be working fine:

The Version I have on my PC is GWT 1.4.10. Was that beta version?

I don't remember that and so am asking

Bye for now

[Sumit Chandel]

Hi CSJakharia,

GWT 1.4.10 is RC1 and is indeed a beta version. Check out GWT 1.4 (build 1.4.60) for the final release of 1.4 and the milestone marking GWT out of beta!

Thanks,

This is great!

Is there (going to be) a 64-bit build for Linux? I'm keeping around a
32-bit JVM just to run GWT apps in hosted mode.

Owen,

What do you mean?

Hi,

Does anyone know what else is needed to switch from the 1.4 beta to
this new non-beta 1.4 release? I tried updating my project's Build
Path JARs, as the Developer Knowledge Base suggests, but RPC calls now
fail (I get a "Project is out of date" error).

Thanks in advance.

[Dave T]

Here's the stacktrace:

[ERROR] Bad project...

Making this RPC call worked consistently with the older 1.4.10 JARs,
but switching to the new 1.4.60 JARs causes this error.

[Isaac Truett]

Did you update the jars deployed on your server?

[Anil]

can you please comment on my issue? I would love to use GWT but...

Hi Sumit,

Regarding com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.ComplexPanel's method, public
boolean remove(Widget w)...

The beta version's validation, if (!getChildren().contains(w))
{return false;}
has been replaced in version 1.4.6 with if (w.getParent() != this)
{return false;}

This has had the unfortunate consequence of 'breaking' both the GWM
and GWT-Stuff projects, which don't validate that the Widget is not
null prior to calling this method.

Are there any plans to revert to previous validation to avoid
backwards incompatibility?

Kind Regards,
Sorcha
