This release fixes two main issues.

• "Operation aborted" error in IE6/IE7. []
• Fix for XSS vulnerability in hosted mode.

I’ve actually encountered the "Operation aborted" error myself, so I’m glad this got fixed. The GWT team strongly recommends that you update your GWT applications to use this latest build.
