We're aiming for release on Thursday, February 25. (This one has been simmering for quite a while now, and now seems like as good a time as any.)

JIRA tickets already closed with a "Fix version" of 2.11.8:
* https://issues.scala-lang.org/issues/?jql=status%20%3D%20CLOSED%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20%22Scala%202.11.8%22%20ORDER%20BY%20created%20DESC

pull requests already merged with a milestone of 2.11.8:
* https://github.com/scala/scala/pulls?utf8=✓&q=is%3Amerged+milestone%3A2.11.8+

All open tickets and pull requests have been retargeted for later releases. (And as usual, we won't accept last-minute pull requests unless they're clearly release blockers.)

The most notable change is the new tab completion in the REPL (which you may already be familiar with from 2.12.0-M3). 

Q: Will there be any more 2.11.x releases?
A: Yes, definitely — see http://www.scala-lang.org/news/2016-schedule/

Adriaan will post separately about our other upcoming release, 2.12.0-M4.

Seth, for Lightbend

If anybody wants to do some testing before the release, this nightly:


(and the other files with the same SHA at http://www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/nightly/2.11.x/) is the same as what we expect to build tomorrow or Thursday.

If you want to test from SBT instead of by unpacking a distribution, the settings to use are:

  resolvers += "pr" at "https://scala-ci.typesafe.com/artifactory/scala-pr-validation-snapshots/"

  scalaVersion := "2.11.8-d6b559f-SNAPSHOT"

Scala 2.11.8 is not yet tagged or released.

However, provisional binaries are staged.

To try them, add the following to your sbt build:


  resolvers ++= Seq(

    "Scala 2.11.8 Core" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/orgscala-lang-1293/",

    "Scala 2.11.8 Modules" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/orgscala-lang-1294/")

  scalaVersion := "2.11.8"


You can also download a provisional distribution archive:


http://downloads.lightbend.com/scala/2.11.8/scala-2.11.8.tgz (Mac OS X, Unix, Cygwin)

http://downloads.lightbend.com/scala/2.11.8/scala-2.11.8.zip (Windows)


The draft release announcement is here:

https://github.com/scala/make-release-notes/blob/2.11.x/hand-written.md


We expect the release will be tagged, published to maven-central, and announced sometime in the next few days.


Cheers,

Seth

I'm unable to build shapeless because of the lack of a macro-paradise
build for 2.11.8 ...

Cheers,

What do you mean maybe? Have you tried it?

Thanks, Kenji, for catching and reporting this. I confirmed that the crash occurs in 2.11.8, but not 2.11.7.

We’ll hold off releasing 2.11.8 until we’ve had time to investigate. (We’re all traveling this weekend for the Lightbend engineering meeting in Budapest, so the investigation might not happen as quickly as usual.)

In other 2.11.8 news, I’m not done QA’ing the .deb/.rpm/.msi packages, which were produced by a newer version of sbt-native-packager. I already found some problems with the .deb; details at https://github.com/scala/scala-dev/issues/92 . It seems likely we’ll just revert the version upgrade and defer it to 2.12, so there’s more time to shake out issues.

I would appreciate it if anyone with knowledge of Debian, RPM, and/or Windows stuff could try these and try to catch any regressions:

proposed fixes for both problems are now being reviewed and tested:
not exactly sure when the release train will start moving again. hopefully in the next few days.

Scala 2.11.8 has been rebuilt.
It is not yet tagged or released.
However, new provisional binaries are staged.

To try them, add the following to your sbt build:

resolvers ++= Seq(
scalaVersion := "2.11.8"

You can also download a provisional distribution archive:

Unless new regressions are discovered, we expect the release will be tagged, published to maven-central, and announced sometime in the next few days.

Now, it seems that the source links in current API reference are broken because they refer non-existent v2.11.8 tag.  Is it release soon ?

Yeah, that’s a bug in the release process. I’ll add it to my queue.

I’m planning on tagging & announcing later today, knock on wood.
