Bruce vient d'annoncer sur gwt-contrib que la M2 sera la dernière version avant la release candidate de GWT 1.6. Au vu des évènements, ils devraient logiquement respecter le timing de la sortie d'une release avant fin Mars. J'insiste encore une fois sur l'importance de GWT 1.6 en terme de compatibilité avec l'existant. Dès la sortie de la RC, n'hésitez pas à contrôlez la compatibilité de vos applications 1.5.

Autre info, Lex Spoon vient de poster sur le Wiki un excellent article décrivant le Code-Splitting, un sujet qui deviendra chaud d'ici quelques mois.

The GWT team is happy to announce the availability of Google Web Toolkit 1.6 Milestone 2! Binary distributions are available for download directly from the GWT Google Code project.

If you have already tried GWT 1.6 Milestone 1, you may not notice much difference in Milestone 2. Changes have mostly been general polish and various small bug fixes. For the nitty-gritty details of the changes since the previous milestone, see the attached source control commit logs. You can also watch the GWT bug tracker for the most up-to-date list of resolved issues (http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/list?can=1&q=status:Fixed,FixedNotReleased%20milestone:1_6_RC&num=1000). As for doc, the javadoc that comes bundled with the distribution should be up-to-date, but the onlinne Developer Guide (http://code.google.com/docreader/#p=google-web-toolkit-doc-1-6) is still being tweaked.
We anticipate that GWT 1.6 M2 will be the last milestone build for this version. After a few more bugs fixes and a bit more doc, we expect it to be followed soon by a release candidate build. In the meanwhile, please report bugs to the GWT issue tracker (http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/list) after doing a quick search to see if your issue has already been reported. If you encounter a bug in 1.6 M2 that you think qualifies as a showstopper, we would greatly appreciate it if you'd also reply on this thread to alert the engineering team.

As always, remember that GWT milestone builds like this are use-at-your-own-risk. Don't be surprised if it takes a bit of trial and error to get everything to work, and we don't recommend it for production use quite yet.
