[ANN] Scala 2.5.0-RC1

We are pleased to announce version 2.5.0-RC1 of the Scala distribution:

1) It introduces some language changes.

    http://www.scala-lang.org/docu/changelog.html#v2.5.0

    - Type constructor polymorphism
    - Early object initialization
    - Revised syntax of for-comprehensions
    - Implicit anonymous functions
    - etc.

2) It fixes many bugs both in the compiler and the libraries.

Other release candidates may follow this version depending
on bugs reported by the Scala community (no changes/additions,
only bug fixes!); the final release (aka. 2.5.0-final) is
planned in 1-2 weeks.

Re: [ANN] Scala 2.5.0-RC2 released

Hi Stéphane

The Windows .zip contains a folder called "http:" (yes, including the
colon), which is not allowed on Windows. It is in
doc/scala-devel/scala/api (if I remember correctly - I had to delete
it from the .zip to proceed).
