Question asked December 2014 about release dates

As the time when a release candidate for GWT 2.8 was supposed to be make public has come and gone,  am re-posting a question asked in December 2014 about release dates

"Since I was expecting lambdas to appear in 2.7, now I'm checking for GWT 2.8 release announcement daily (or sometimes more often) :)

  In several days I think I'll start behaving like Cartman (in South Park) waiting for Nintendo Wii release(btw, you can watch it here) :)

  So, could anyone be so kind to shed some light on approximate GWT 2.8 with lambdas release date? Will it appear before New Year? Will it appear right before GWT.create conference or after?

  Please, help me :)"

Are we any closer to an answer than 11 months ago?

If not, I'm going to start looking at alternate transpilers to JavaScript for JVM languages (Kotlin looks interesting), and I will no longer be able to recommend GWT to others as a robust solution.
