Re: March 12 minutes

Thanks Colin. Out of interest, would it be likely for java 8 syntax to be supported in a 2.7 release with the Google I/O target date? FWIW I'd personally be delighted to have a 2.7 release for June with incremental compilation as the big ticket item but I am of course looking forward to using java 8 syntax ASAP :)

GWT 2.6.1 release

Thomas, Daniel, Bhaskar brought up various issues that have been fixed and should be shipped: e.g. super dev mode fixes for windows, jetty/classloader issues for dev mode, ie11 history encoding issues. Others that still need to be merged will go into a release checklist, which should also help us avoid release issues as in 2.6.0.

Super Dev Mode Improvements

Next GWT version will be 2.7, released around I/O, adding modular compilation (to improve Super Dev Mode performance). Other features may also be included, or may wait for a later GWT 3 release. Moving up this target date and making it a smaller release will get better Super Dev Mode out to users right away, rather than delaying until other new features are ready to go. IE6 and 7 support, disabled in GWT 2.6, will be removed in this release.
