Will those people switch to Java 8 at the same time they upgrade to GWT 2.8? I doubt it. If (as I understand it) the leak only happens when using "-sourceLevel 8", then I'm fine with a 2.8.0 without waiting for the fix (but a big bold warning in the release notes), and a 2.8.1 as soon as the fix is available. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
