Hi Moejo, Thomas is correct about the tagging, as usual :-)
We normally tag the release first, then build and test from the tag. The GWT 2.1 release is being coordinated with several teams (core SDK, GPE, and VMWare for the Spring Roo-related pieces), and when all of them are ready, we'll announce the release on the GWT blog and related pieces will be made available for download. As for the Javadocs pertaining to Activity, Places, RequestFactory, and related classes, most of the "experimental API" warnings have now been removed in trunk. There are no changes to these APIs expected from 2.1 RC to the 2.1 release, so the RC is a good basis on which to begin building your app. Thanks for your interest in GWT 2.1!
