(Most people are probably already quite aware of the new GWT 1.7 release, but we wanted to send out an "official" announcement we could pin to the top of the message list.)
GWT 1.7 is a minor update that adds better support for Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.5, and Safari 4. Each of these new browser versions introduced at least one change that negatively impacted compiled GWT modules, so we recommend that you do update to GWT 1.7 and recompile your existing applications to ensure that they work with the latest versions of browsers. No source code changes on your part should be required.
Normally, a minor update such as this would have been named 1.6.5 (the previous latest version of GWT was 1.6.4), but we did add the value "ie8" to the "user.agent" deferred binding property, which could impact projects using custom deferred binding rules that are sensitive to that property. Thus, we went withGWT 1.7 rather than GWT 1.6.5, to indicate that you may need to pay attention to that change. Details are in the release notes.
In every other respect, this is just a bugfix release, so in the vast majority of cases, the update-recompile process should be nearly effortless.
Please forgive this newbie post but I am under extreme schedule
pressure and cant find an answer anywhere on the web. Can anyone tell
me if JSPs using Java 1.5 features can now run under hosted mode
within Eclipse 3.4? If so would someone please post a how-to? Any
help would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance.

Hi,
I migrated from GWT 1.5.0 to GWT 1.7 and I am facing a lot of issues
in serialized objects being passed via RPC. Support to java.util.List
seems to have been withdrawn and my existing code fails. Please do let
me know if this is a know are and how to take care of the same??
My code compiles fine, there are NO compilation erros. But during
runtime (via the hosted mode), I don't see my page, I just see the
"Loading..." status.
I have an object "CustomHashMap" which extends the "java.util.HashMap"
inside the client package. Now the input for this class is (String,
Object). This was working earlier in GWT 1.5, but now with GWT 1.7, it
fails. I have now changed the method signature to (String,
Serializable), now it compiles, but the same error said above occurs
at runtime.
Cheers,
Ganesh

its very clear in the upgrade notes that
"The 1.7 release contains a few high-priority bug fixes. It is
versioned 1.7 to signify a potentially breaking change."
