GWT 1.4 Release candidate
Bruce Johnson, tech lead of the Google Web Toolkit posts that the GWT 1.4 release candidate is now available for download. Highlights in this release (from my point of view) are:
- Size
and speed improvements - the GWT are doing everything they can to
reduce the startup time, including using ImageBundles to reduce the
number of http requests needed to fetch static images. There goal
is 300ms maximum for an application load time.
- Some new widgets - RichTextArea, SuggestBox, PushButton, DisclosurePanel and Splitters.
- Support for mouse wheel events
- Lots of bug fixes (although I've yet to encounter a GWT bug).
