Dan Morrill of the GWT team posted some interesting tidbits about the upcoming GWT 1.4 release on the newsgroups today.

…There are quite a few rather large improvements going into this release, which is taking longer than we’d expected. One of the big hold-ups right now is the new rich-text support, which is always tricky to get right. There’s also a little work remaining on the new splitter panels; Kelly hammered those out last week, though I think he said there is still a tiny bit of detail work to do.

Dan has also just published a good article called . In it, he talks about the different classes of Javascript attacks along with his suggestions for securing your own GWT applications. Very useful stuff and something every web developer should be aware of.
