| 7 | The GWT team has just released GWT 1.4.62. It includes fixes for the two |
|---|
| 8 | issues |
|---|
| 9 | known to specifically break the Firefox 3 beta, as well as a fix for a |
|---|
| 10 | Windows |
|---|
| 11 | hosted-mode crash bug. The specific patches are detailed below. |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | You will want to update to GWT 1.4.62 in order to ensure that your |
|---|
| 14 | applications |
|---|
| 15 | work properly on Firefox 3 when it is formally released. To update |
|---|
| 16 | from GWT |
|---|
| 17 | 1.4.61 to 1.4.62, follow the steps below for each GWT application you |
|---|
| 18 | want |
|---|
| 19 | to |
|---|
| 20 | update: |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | 1) Download GWT 1.4.62 for your platform at the link below and unpack |
|---|
| 23 | it to the directory of your choice (only needs to be performed once |
|---|
| 24 | per platform): |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | - http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-windows-1.4.62.zip |
|---|
| 27 | - http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-mac-1.4.62.tar.gz |
|---|
| 28 | - http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-linux-1.4.62.tar.gz |
|---|
| 29 | - |
|---|
| 30 | http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-leopard-1.4.62.tar.gz |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | 2) Update your GWT project build path to use the latest GWT JARs. This |
|---|
| 33 | includes gwt-user.jar, gwt-dev-<platform>.jar and gwt-servlet.jar if |
|---|
| 34 | your application uses GWT-RPC. |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | 3) Update any run configurations or application compile and shell |
|---|
| 37 | scripts to include the latest JARs in the classpath (same JARs as |
|---|
| 38 | mentioned in step 2). |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | 4) Run a GWT compilation over your project to generate the latest GWT |
|---|
| 41 | application files for your project. |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | 5) Deploy the latest GWT application files to your web server. |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | For those of you who have experienced the bugs that GWT 1.4.62 aims to |
|---|
| 46 | fix, give the latest build a spin and let us know if you're still |
|---|
| 47 | experiencing any problems. Also, please reply back to this thread if |
|---|
| 48 | you experience any other difficulty updating to GWT 1.4.62 or |
|---|
| 49 | deploying your GWT application with the latest release. |

| 51 | The following patches are included in this release: |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | r1533: |
|---|
| 54 | Fixes issue 1702 |
|---|
| 55 | insertListItem current created an option element with the wrong |
|---|
| 56 | owner document. This causes errors in FF3 preview builds. |
|---|
| 57 | |
|---|
| 58 | r1871: |
|---|
| 59 | Fixes issue 1942 |
|---|
| 60 | FF3 Beta 1 throws WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERROR in getBoxObjectFor if the |
|---|
| 61 | element is not attached to the DOM. This affects our implementation |
|---|
| 62 | of Tree when an element is selected programmatically on a tree that |
|---|
| 63 | is unattached. This change wraps the call to getBoxObjectFor in a |
|---|
| 64 | try/catch and returns 0 if a WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERROR occurs, which |
|---|
| 65 | emulates what getBoxObjectFor is supposed to do. This bug is set |
|---|
| 66 | to P1 in bugzilla, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409111, |
|---|
| 67 | so this change can be saftely removed in the future. |
|---|
| 68 | |
|---|
| 69 | r1991, r1995: |
|---|
| 70 | Fixes a latent bug in SwtOleGlue.extractStringFromOleCharPtr(). We were |
|---|
| 71 | treating the incoming value as a BSTR, but it's really just a naked |
|---|
| 72 | OLECHAR*. |
