[ANN] Scala 2.7.1.RC1

We are pleased do announce version 2.7.1.RC1 of the Scala
distribution. 2.7.1 will be mainly a bug fix release.

The reason this new release comes out only few weeks after
2.7.0 is a bug in XML parsing that was introduced between
2.7.0-RC3 and 2.7.0-final. This bug caused a high demand
for a rapid resolution.

The Scala download page is located at:

    http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/index.html

The list of changes can be found here:

     http://scala-lang.org/downloads/changes.html#v2.7.1.RC1

The updated Scala plugin for Eclipse should be available
in 1-2 days.

Re: [ANN] Scala 2.7.1.RC1

Just a quick hold the line on this... we dicovered (too late) that the
RC had issues with long paths in classfiles. We'll upload a fix later
this afternoon. For the moment the RC is offline.

Cheers

Re: [scala] [ANN] Scala 2.7.1.RC1

The corrected RC 1 for Scala 2.7.1 is now online.

As Lukas wrote, this is in principle a bugfix release which we had to
bring forward to fix a serious bug with XML parsing that unfortunately
got introduced just before 2.7.0 final was released. This bug is now
fixed, as are several others.

The compiled language has only changed in small ways:

1. Following popular request, we have changed the scope of a wildcard
in a type to match the rules in Java.

2. We dropped the contractiveness requirement for implicits, in order
to make some advanced usage patterns in ScalaCheck and SBinary
possible.

I just want to say, thank you very much for this. I need to test it
properly and will hopefully be doing so this weekend, but it certainly
sounds like it's *exactly* what I needed.  It's very much appreciated.

[ANN] Scalit - Literate Programming in Scala

Hello List,
I'm glad to announce the first version of Scalit, a tool suite that  
allows you to write literate programs in Scala. A literate program can  
be directly compiled but also be weaved in a document meant for human  
reading. The release can be downloaded here:

http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/scalit

I am happy to hear your feature requests and bug reports,

Sebastian Gfeller

P.S. If you are curious on what literate programming actually is, you  
can read the Wikipedia article on it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming 
  ). For any examples on the syntax, you can consider the source code  
of the implementation itself.

available here:

Re: [scala] [ANN] Scala 2.7.1.RC2

Indeed, thanks for reporting. There is an error in the
template for windows scripts.
I'll publish a version that fixes it ASAP.

Cheers: Lukas

[ANN] scala.swing 0.1

We are pleased to announce the release of scala-swing 0.1, an
event-based library for building Swing applications in Scala. Swing
developers coming from Java should quickly become familiar with it. It
is available as an sbaz package or directly from

http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/packages/

In case of an sbaz installation, you can run a fairly small demo with:

scala -cp $SCALA_HOME/lib/scala-swing.jar scala.swing.test.UIDemo

In order to avoid confusion, the sbaz packages scalaswing and ScalaSwing
(note the spelling) are no longer available.
