Info on how to get it is here: http://www.scalatest.org/download#18rc2 Scaladoc is here: http://www.artima.com/docs-scalatest-1.8.RC2/#package Release notes are here: http://www.scalatest.org/release_notes#release18 I ended up making some more significant changes from RC1 than I usually do during an RC phase based on user input. One of the main questions I had for RC1 was what the default timeout and interval should be for traits Eventually and AsyncAssertions. After feedback from several users, I ended up changing these to 150 millisecond timeout and 15 millisecond interval, values which are tuned for keeping unit tests running quickly. I renamed the trait that provides the defaults to PatienceConfiguration, because this configuration sets how long the test suite is willing to wait for asynchronous operations to complete (i.e., how "patient" it is). I added a trait IntegrationPatience that changes the defaults to 15 second timeout </pre> Bill Venners 2012-05-13T15:35:28 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.scala.announce/579 <pre>I hesitate to announce a project that needs a good rewrite, but ...

Scalathon is the International Scala Hackathon, which last year sold out with attendees from more than 10 countries. The main event runs July 28-29 (Sat &amp; Sun). It will include brief talks by representatives from many open source Scala projects. These talks will show you how to build, modify, and start contributing to the project. With this year's enhanced venue, the hackathon rooms will be open 24 hours a day, all three days, for anyone who wants to work off-hours. There will be projects for every interest and skill level. You can register for Sat/Sun here: http://www.meetup.com/scala-phase/events/62752272/ Friday July 27 is a special add-on day focusing on the "Anatomy of a Scala Project." We will have many workshops focused on setup, building, testing profiling, documenting, releasing, and hosting Scala projects. Due to its hands-on nature this add-on day is appropriate for newbies and the most hardened Scala developers alike.

This is a maintenance release containing only bug fixes, upgrade is recommended for all users. What is new in 2.0.1? Builder improvements In 2.0.0 the IDE delivered better incremental compilation by building on the already proven Sbt incremental compiler. In 2.0.1 we improve on the Eclipse builder by following Sbt more closely when dealing with dependent projects: when a project has build errors, dependent projects are not rebuilt fine-grained information about changes in a project are propagated to downstream dependent projects, leading to even less files being recompiled In 2.0.1, the Eclipse builder compiles exactly the same number of files at the command line Sbt. Editor improvements We fixed a couple of small, but annoying editor issues: double braces are inserted and deleted together, completions that need an additional import won’t mess up the file, and Open Declaration works when called from the contextual m</pre> Eclipse Scala IDE 2012-04-30T09:52:27 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.scala.announce/574 <pre> MapperDao is an ORM library for Scala with drivers for the following databases: - oracle - postgresql - mysql - derby - sql server - h2 The new version includes configurable lazy loading (along with skip-loading) of related data, configurable memory caching via EHCache and simplifications to entity mappings.

While the goal of V2.0 was to provide a reliable environment for your Scala coding, with V2.1 we want to bring your Scala development experience to a whole new level. In this milestone there are a whole lot of new features for you to try out: implicit highlight, move refactoring, scala debugger and semantic highlight are the most exciting ones. If you are like us, once you start using them you will no longer be able go back. They are simply too addictive! Let’s have a quick round at the new available features. Implicit Highlight Implicits are a powerful Scala construct, but it is often hard to guess when they are applied. With implicit highlight you get immediate visual feedback in the editor and, by pressing Cmd/Ctrl+1, you can turn an implicit conversion into an explicit call. Read more… Mantra: de-obfuscate code!

ScalaTest 1.7.2 should be binary compatible with 1.7.1, so you can just drop it in. Info on how to get it is here: http://www.scalatest.org/download ScalaTest 1.8.RC1 is the first release candidate of a fairly major release. Much of what 1.8 contains was originally planned for ScalaTest 2.0, but since 2.0 has taken a long time to complete I decided to release 1.7 and 1.8 as milestones on the road to 2.0. ScalaTest 1.8.RC1 should be source compatible with ScalaTest 1.7.1 (and 1.7.2), so please let me know if something breaks for you. It is not binary compatible, so you'll need to do a clean build, but that should be all that's required to upgrade. Please post on scalatest-users if you encounter a problem.

The event will either by in Philadelphia proper, or somewhere nearby like Cherry Hilly, New Jersey.

This release fixes a critical Java-Scala interoperability issue that arose in 2.9.1. Here is the change list: * Don't mark mixed-in methods as bridges. * Add SYNTHETIC flag for BRIDGE methods. * Update build for publishing to sonatype OSSRH The Scala 2.9.1-1 release is intended to be a conservative bug fix release; it will be followed by another, more aggressive bug fix release called 2.9.2. This RC1 release candidate is made available for testing purposes only and is not intended for production environments: a final 2.9.1-1 release will follow at the end of the RC cycle.

From changelog: 2012.01.15 v.0.6 is out - towards arbitrary "dynamics". Among changes and small fixes these ones are interesting: - HTalk.req internal object's type is now extracted to HReqData trait. - HApp.resolve takes now this HReqData parameter instead of HReqHeaderData. - Added new HLet's method def talkExecutor: Option[HLetExecutor] = None where trait HLetExecutor needs the only method to implement: def submit(req: HReqData, run: Runnable). This way you have arbitrary possibilities to execute handler code the way you want - instead of default execution pool using. Say, you can use some kind of events/subscriptions model/framework to implement Comet-like client-server interaction (ChatDemo with long-poll strategy is included into the source archive).
