The new version of the GWT widget library MyGWT has just been released. The widgets, based on the Ext JS themes are really nice. I’ve been using it on my free Sudoku game called GSudokr and the API has been really easy to work with.

New to this release is the Table widget, plus what looks to be a bunch of bug fixes. There’s also a new Mail demo play around with.
