RC6 candidate for the first 2.8.0 beta

2009/12/23 Antonio Cunei <antonio.cunei@epfl.ch>

All,

The newest release candidate for 2.8.0.Beta1 is available for testing. You can obtain the new candidate from the links below, as well as from the scala-tools.org Maven repository:

http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/files/scala-2.8.0.Beta1-RC6.tgz
http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/files/scala-2.8.0.Beta1-RC6.zip
http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/files/scala-2.8.0.Beta1-RC6-installer.jar
http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/files/scala-2.8.0.Beta1-RC6-devel-docs.tgz
http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/files/scala-2.8.0.Beta1-RC6-sources.tgz
http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/files/scala.library_2.8.0.Beta1-RC6.jar

This is a candidate for the first, preliminary beta release of 2.8.0: it is only intended to help developers port their code onto the new 2.8 codebase, and it is not production-quality code.

Developers: This candidate should fix all remaining build problems with Lift; please let us know if your code still works properly with this RC6.

Thanks to all, and have a merry holiday season!
Toni

No problems with ScalaQuery on RC5 and RC6.

All,

A new release candidate for 2.8.0.Beta1 is available for testing. You can
obtain the new candidate from the links below, as well as from the
scala-tools.org Maven repository:

http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/files/scala-2.8.0.Beta1-RC7.tgz
http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/files/scala-2.8.0.Beta1-RC7.zip

http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/files/scala.library_2.8.0.Be...

This is a candidate for the first, preliminary beta release of 2.8.0: it is
only intended to help developers port their code onto the new 2.8 codebase,
and it is not production-quality code.

Developers: This build addresses the latest bugs (notably #2850), and
includes speed enhancement to the compiler and various other fixes.

If no other major issue is found, this candidate will become the coveted
beta. Please test your code against this build, and please let us know if
you find any other issues.

Thanks!
Toni

http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/ticket/2876 is a regression in RC7
(since RC6) that I just filed. Whether it counts as major, I don't
know -- might depend on whether it's a sign of breakage elsewhere.
