Indeed.

[Derek Chen-Becker]

Just a reminder for anyone out there who wants to use 1.0.1: you'll need to update your pom.xml to use Scala 2.7.5 (and match what Lift was built with). Typically this just means modifying the properties element in your pom.xml like so:

  <properties>
    <scala.version>2.7.5</scala.version>
  </properties>

I've switched a very simple test project from 1.0 to 1.0.1 and
switched the scala version to 2.7.5

Now I've started seeing the following in my jetty log:

ERROR - [MEMDEBUG] failure
java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: refSet

I note that there is a reference to this on the mailing list some time
ago and this was attributed to being a Scala 2.7.5 issue.

?

Hmmm... the pointless actor fix thingy should not have been included in 1.0.1.

Lemme look into it.

[DavidV]

I am running Scala 2.7.5 final and would like to upgrade to Lift
1.0.1. I have never upgraded my Lift before (still running 1.0) and
am not sure how to do it without creating a new project. I using
Maven and the jetty server to compile my lift code. I know how to
modify a .pom file and some basic command prompt maven commands. Can
I use mvn install, or mvn update or something similar? I'm sure this
is very straightforward and easy but am having a hard time figuring it
out and certainly don't want to mess up my webapp.
Thanks and looking forward to working with 1.0.1

Just change the version you depend on in your pom.xml and Maven will
pull the new jars and put them in the classpath.

Yeah... that was against 2.7.4... 2.7.5 changed things.  I just committed a fix that will disable the feature unless someone explicitly enables it.

Should I go ahead and re-spin 1.0.1, or should it be 1.0.2?
