Fixed Issues


Release Notes for 1.3.1 (RC)

This is the Release Candidate for GWT 1.3, the first completely open source version of GWT. This version has no new functionality, but we did make a lot of changes to get the source code and build scripts into presentable shape to prepare for ongoing open source development. Although the changes were relatively harmless -- formatting, sorting, more documentation, and a new build system -- there's always a small chance of problems, so we plan to call this a Release Candidate until we've convinced ourselves it's reliable.

Breaking API Changes

There are no breaking changes to pre-1.2 APIs, but one method has been renamed in a class that was new in 1.2 RC.

com.google.gwt.http.client.RequestBuilder

The method addHeader() was renamed to setHeader() to more clearly reflect its intent. You will only be affected by this change if you are using the new HTTP functionality available as of build 1.2.11.

Release Notes for 1.2.11 (RC)

This is the Release Candidate for GWT 1.2. Between this build and the subsequent GWT 1.2 official release, changes are limited to issues unique to GWT 1.2 RC.
