GWT 2.8 Release

[Goktug Gokdogan]

In the last few months, we had important progress on JsInterop and finally it looks like we will be able to start the release process for 2.8 in a few weeks. So if you believe a patch needs to be part of the RC release, this is a good time to engage.

I know there will be questions about Java8 so here are some answers:

Language features wise, we are feature complete for long time. However plenty of new APIs, most significantly streams, is not emulated. The release will only include the subset of the APIs that is contributed by the community so it is in the hands of open source contributors.

We may also do a 2.8.x release with bug fixes that includes latest contributions to emulation.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers.

Great work! Thanks. Is there any release note to GWT 2.8?

This one seems like it has to affect everyone:

https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/9108

https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=9177

It requires that you do tricks with the linker or manually clear cached files in the browser after every GWT compile to force it to load changes.

Good point, quite a few people stumbled upon this. Given that it was already scheduled for GWT 2.7 this should really be fixed for 2.8.

We will look at the problem next week and hopefully find a good fix by the RC.
