  • Dev mode discussion
    • Daniel is migrating test cases to compile-mode, no more need to support dev-mode within Google.
    • Since 2.8 is a compatible release, removing dev-mode will go against what we said earlier.
    • People using 2.7 are still using dev mode, super dev mode is just barely working.
    • Daniel: make compile-test default in 2.8,
      • Also let people know what limitations come with JsInterop and dev-mode.
    • Drop it in trunk after 2.8.
  • GWT 2.8:
    • Main missing feature is JsInterop
      • Expectation is that this will be complete by end of Sept.
    • Plan to release after JsInterop is done. Will accept Java8 patches from community, but those are not blockers for right now.
  • Update on new compiler prototype:
    • Still working through compilation of Java features.
    • Plan is to have it capable of building complete apps by the end of the year.
