Thomas, walden, kozura
Since the official 1.5 was released only a few weeks back, I was
assuming most would not be using 1.5 yet. Kinda like IE6, I thought
1.4.62 would linger on for years. Seems I was very wrong.
A survey based on three data points isn't very significant, but it's
the best I've got to go on. I've downloaded 1.5 and, apart from a very
annoying need to add:
<jvmarg value="-Xmx128M" />
to the ant java task that invokes the GWT Java to JavaScript compiler
(or else I got OutOfMemory java heap errors) so far at least, it seems
like it "just works" (except the compiled javascript is about 5 to 20%
faster, depending on scenario).
Unless I find a major issue that causes me to have to back pedal, or
hundreds respond to this survey saying "1.4.62 forever!" you can add
me to the list of those using 1.5 and not using 1.4.62 any more.
