It's good practice for the development of commercial products which have to guarantee reliability and stability (as I am working on) to only use stable releases, and even then only after such releases have been generally available long enough for major bugs to have been located and fixed.
I can't justify using a beta release for such development. Neither can a substantial number of developers. GWT is now the only development platform I use that forces me to stick to Java 7 syntax. After having waited for GWT 2.8/3.0 after their announcement over a year ago, I think my frustration should be understandable.
So, SOME idea of when 2.8 GA might be helpful. I'd like to be able to use Java 8 syntax in a fully generally available and stable public release GWT before I retire. Or at least before the release of Java 11. I have to say things aren't looking hopeful for those deadlines!

What stops you from using the beta1 ? I did not yet notice any backward compatibility issues.On Thu, Jan 14, 2016 at 12:25 PM Gilberto <gilberto...@gmail.com> wrote:In my experience, asking for a release date of a project where there are Google folks involved, is the same as asking for peace on Middle East.
They never work with strict dates, and when they say a date, it's always wrong - I wish I could do that to my customers =P
The lack of communication only makes the matter worse.
So, I'd say the date of the GA release is soon™.--
