As promised, the latest version of GWT has been released. You can download it from .

Here are some of the new features (from the readme):

• FileUpload widget
  The much-requested file upload widget
• FormPanel widget
  Easily submit traditional HTML forms from GWT apps
• RPC optimizations
  Client and server performance improvements and a more compact wire format
• Automatic Resource Injection
  Modules can contain references to external JavaScript and CSS files, causing them to be automatically loaded when the module itself is loaded
• Internationalization
  Easily localize strings and formatted messages
• XML classes
  An XML library based on the W3C DOM
• JSON classes
  JSON has moved into gwt-user.jar, and it’s much faster than the sample that shipped with 1.0.21
• JUnit enhancements
  Unit tests are much, much faster than in 1.0.21, easier to configure, and you can now test asynchronous things like RPCs and timers
• Javadoc
  Now included for your convenience, with sample code fragments
• gwt-servlet.jar
  Although you should continue to build against gwt-user.jar as always, you only need to deploy gwt-servlet.jar with your webapps; it contains the subset of gwt-user.jar you’ll need to support RPC

GWT Widget Library 0.0.8 was released earlier today. It features:

• Added SimpleDateFormat (Jason Essington)
• Added CookieUtils (Brian Glick)
• Added TFlexTable to fix removeRow() bug (Iancu Mihai)
• Fixed GWTSpringController for NPE in hosted-mode (George
  Georgovassilis)

Robert Hanson has also put up a new version of the GWT API Map which is hosted by Nubgames. You can now click on the boxes and get the source code for the different objects on the map.

I just saw the announcement of a framework for GWT called .

Gems is to GWT, kind of like how Apache Struts is to the Servlet API. The Gems framework provides a simple, consistent mechanism for extending GWT to build large applications with a small set of common patterns.

I havn’t tried it yet, but it sounds interesting. Here is a screenshot of the fish-eye-bar widget.

Robert Hanson has posted an early version of a visual map of all the GWT components. Once he flushes it all out, it looks to be a very nice reference.
