Last call for GWT 2.8.2 patches, and testers needed!

[Colin Alworth]

As you can see from https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/milestone/18, GWT 2.8.2 is almost ready to go! This release is important to get out for several reasons:

 * Supports running the compile on Java 9 (note that it does not yet add support for the Java 9 language or sdk)
 * Fixes a bug users are experiencing in latest versions of Chrome with getAbsoluteLeft/getAbsoluteTop (see https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/9542 and related bugs).

If you have more patches not yet ready for review, or not listed in the issues above, please let us know so we can track them and get ready for the release.

If you are able to volunteer a small amount of time to help us perform acceptance testing on 2.8.2, please contact me with the Operating System and Browsers you have available to you, and I will put you on the list. This work will start in a few days once we have a release candidate ready.

Just added https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/9534 to the milestone, and will send the patch asap.

Chrome 61 & Firefox 55 on ArchLinux w/ OpenJDK 7u151, 8u144 and/or 9u181.

(could possibly test on Windows in VirtualBox using Microsoft's virtual machines, would take more time; so if can have people who actually use Windows, that'd be preferable)

Roberto is working on a patch needed for Elemental2 (lifting jsinterop restrictions up for native method overloads).

I let Roberto give more info on the patch and eta.

Is there any chance to get DateTimeFormat change formatted date for 1 day included in 2.8.2?

The bug has been reported more than 2 years ago and it's a core issue. Which GWT app doesn't use DateTimeFormat?

Thanks so much

[Drew Spencer]

I'm happy to test

[Alexander Bertram]

Add me to the list! Happy to test against our app.

Can someone review it https://gwt-review.googlesource.com/c/gwt/+/14430 ? 

Thanks so much
