It's good practice for the development of commercial products which have to guarantee reliability and stability (as I am working on) to only use stable releases, and even then only after such releases have been generally available long enough for major bugs to have been located and fixed.
I can't justify using a beta release for such development. Neither can a substantial number of developers. GWT is now the only development platform I use that forces me to stick to Java 7 syntax. After having waited for GWT 2.8/3.0 after their announcement over a year ago, I think my frustration should be understandable. So, SOME idea of when 2.8 GA might be helpful. I'd like to be able to use Java 8 syntax in a fully generally available and stable public release GWT before I retire. Or at least before the release of Java 11. I have to say things aren't looking hopeful for those deadlines! On Friday, 15 January 2016 09:11:53 UTC, DavidN wrote: > > What stops you from using the beta1 ?
