Scala 2.9.0 RC1 Released

[Michael Cotterell]

See: http://www.scala-lang.org/node/8976

Summary of Scala 2.9 RC1
- Parallel Collections!
- Generalized try-catch-finally
- Better REPL
- scala.sys and scala.sys.process which are imported from sbt.Proces
- App, a safer and more performant alternative to Application. It now
allows to access command line arguments. It relies on another new
trait, DelayedInit, which lets one capture class initialization code
in a closure.
- New methods in collections: collectFirst, maxBy, minBy, span,
inits, tails, permutations, combinations, subsets
