GWT 1.4.62

Joel Webber     	

All,

The GWT team has just released GWT 1.4.62. It includes fixes for the two
issues
known to specifically break the Firefox 3 beta, as well as a fix for a
Windows
hosted-mode crash bug. The specific patches are detailed below.

You will want to update to GWT 1.4.62 in order to ensure that your
applications
work properly on Firefox 3 when it is formally released. To update
from GWT
1.4.61 to 1.4.62, follow the steps below for each GWT application you
want
to
update:

1) Download GWT 1.4.62 for your platform at the link below and unpack
it to the directory of your choice (only needs to be performed once
per platform):

- http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-windows-1.4.62.zip
- http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-mac-1.4.62.tar.gz
- http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-linux-1.4.62.tar.gz
-
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-leopard-1.4.62.tar.gz

2) Update your GWT project build path to use the latest GWT JARs. This
includes gwt-user.jar, gwt-dev-<platform>.jar and gwt-servlet.jar if
your application uses GWT-RPC.

3) Update any run configurations or application compile and shell
scripts to include the latest JARs in the classpath (same JARs as
mentioned in step 2).

4) Run a GWT compilation over your project to generate the latest GWT
application files for your project.

5) Deploy the latest GWT application files to your web server.

For those of you who have experienced the bugs that GWT 1.4.62 aims to
fix, give the latest build a spin and let us know if you're still
experiencing any problems. Also, please reply back to this thread if
you experience any other difficulty updating to GWT 1.4.62 or
deploying your GWT application with the latest release.

The following patches are included in this release:

r1533:
Fixes issue 1702
insertListItem current created an option element with the wrong
owner document. This causes errors in FF3 preview builds.

r1871:
Fixes issue 1942
FF3 Beta 1 throws WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERROR in getBoxObjectFor if the
element is not attached to the DOM. This affects our implementation
of Tree when an element is selected programmatically on a tree that
is unattached. This change wraps the call to getBoxObjectFor in a
try/catch and returns 0 if a WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERROR occurs, which
emulates what getBoxObjectFor is supposed to do. This bug is set
to P1 in bugzilla, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409111,
so this change can be saftely removed in the future.

r1991, r1995:
Fixes a latent bug in SwtOleGlue.extractStringFromOleCharPtr().  We were
treating the incoming value as a BSTR, but it's really just a naked
OLECHAR*.
