  log: "Update to 2.7.0\n\nChangelog:\nRelease Notes for 2.7.0\n\nThis release fixes
    issues found while testing RC1.\n\nFor details, see the commit logs.\nKnown Issues\n\nDevMode
    always starts in Super Dev Mode, so it窶å\x86± not as easy to test in production
    mode. See issue 9004 for workarounds.\n\nRelease Notes for 2.7.0 (RC1)\nHighlights\n\n
    \   Super Dev Mode is now the default. DevMode automatically starts Super Dev
    Mode and reloading a web page automatically runs the compiler when necessary.
    (The -nosuperDevMode flag may be used to revert to the old behavior.)\n\n    Compiling
    in Super Dev Mode is much faster after the first compile.\n\n    Experimental
    support for GSS, also known as Closure Stylesheets. (See below.)\n\nKnown Issues\n\n
    \   gwttar files are incorrect. (Fixed in the next version.)\n\nDeprecations\n\n
    \   GWT Designer doesn窶å\x86² work with 2.7 and is no longer supported. (Source
    code is available if someone wishes to revive this project.)\n\n    IFrameLinker
    and XSLinker are deprecated because they don窶å\x86² work in Super Dev Mode.
    However, we don窶å\x86² have suitable replacements for all use cases yet. For
    updates and possible workarounds, see issue 8997.\n\nCompiler changes\n\n    In
    draft mode and Super Dev Mode, all compiler optimizations are turned off for better
    debugging. For example, null pointers are detected sooner.\n\n    JSNI references
    no longer require fully qualified class names when this wouldn窶å\x86² be necessary
    in Java. (For example, imports work.)\n\n    We窶å\x86µe started implementing
    JS Interop annotations, which will make it much easier to use GWT with JavaScript
    libraries. The specification is not final and there are bugs, so production GWT
    apps and libraries should continue to use JSNI for now. If you wish to experiment,
    you can enable JS Interop using the -XjsInteropMode flag, which is available for
    the compiler and Super Dev Mode. (It doesn窶å\x86² work with old DevMode.)\n\n
    \   The experimental -XmethodNameDisplayMode flag adds a displayName property
    to each JavaScript function containing the name of the Java method. This makes
    Java method names available in browser debuggers at the expense of code size.
    (Also available in Super Dev Mode.)\n\n    Boxed JavaScript strings (created in
    JavaScript using new String(...)) are no longer considered equivalent to Java
    strings. They should be unboxed before being passed to Java.\n\n    Many bugfixes.\n\nLibrary
    Changes\nJDK emulation\n\n    Significant performance improvements in String,
    ArrayList, HashMap, and Exception.\n\n    New emulated classes: Locale, NavigableSet,
    and NavigableMap.\n\n    New emulated methods in Class, String, Exception, RuntimeException,
    Logger, Arrays, Collections, and Map.Entry.\n\n    LinkedList extends Deque and
    handles incorrect usage better.\n\nLogging and Stack Traces\n\n    Better wrapping
    of exceptions thrown from JavaScript.\n\n    GWT apps that inherit the com.google.gwt.logging.Logging
    module have different default behavior for messages logged using the java.util.logging
    package. The new default is to log messages at level SEVERE and above to the browser窶å\x86±
    console. PopupLogHandler and SystemHandler are no longer enabled by default.\n\n
    \   FirebugLogHandler and NullLoggingPopup have been removed. ()\n\nExperimental
    GSS support\n\nThe CssResource.enableGss configuration property turns on GSS support.\n\n
    \   When enabled, resource files with a 窶æ\x9E ss窶� extension are parsed
    as a Closure Stylesheet.\n\n    When enabled, GSS can be used in a UiBinder file
    by setting gss=\"true\" on a ui:style tag.\n\n    If the CssResource.legacy configuration
    property is set, .css resources and ui:style tags without gss=true will first
    be converted to GSS and then parsed as GSS.\n\nUiBinder\n\n    The ui:data tag
    has new attributes: mimeType and doNotEmbed.\n\nGWT-RPC\n\n    The rpc.XserializeFinalFields
    configuration property turns on experimental support for serializing final fields.\n\n
    \   LinkedHashSet may be serialized without a serialization policy.\n\n    deRPC
    is removed.\n\nRequestFactory\n\n    Support overridden methods and generics better.\n\n
    \   Fix support for @SkipInterfaceValidation on RequestContext methods.\n\nInternationalization\n\n
    \   Upgraded to CLDR 25.\n\nBrowser API changes\n\n    Updated support for typed
    arrays.\n\n    Added History.replaceItem().\n\n    Fixed an issue with Window.addWindowScrollHandler
    on Chrome.\n\nWidgets\n\n    The deprecated com.google.gwt.widgets package is
    removed.\n\n    Various bugfixes and minor improvements.\n\nDeveloper Tool Changes\nDev
    Mode\n\n    The -nosuperDevMode flag may be used to turn off Super Dev Mode and
    revert to old Dev Mode. (However, most current browsers no longer support Dev
    Mode plugins.)\n\n    The -modulePathPrefix flag may be used to move DevMode窶å\x86±
    output to a subdirectory of the war directory.\n\nSuper Dev Mode\n\n    Compiling
    is much faster after the first compile. (Compiling is skipped altogether if no
    files have changed.)\n\n    The first compile no longer happens at startup.\n\n
    \   Chrome reloads the page faster while debugging. (Sourcemap file size is reduced.)\n\n
    \   The -launcherDir flag may be used to avoid running the GWT compiler before
    starting Super Dev Mode. When enabled, Super Dev Mode writes stub .nocache.js
    files that automatically recompile the GWT app before loading it. Therefore the
    bookmarklets aren窶å\x86² needed. (This feature is automatically enabled when
    launched via DevMode.)\n\n    The -logLevel flag may be used to adjust how compile
    errors are reported.\n\n    The Dev Mode On bookmarklet dialog shows whether Super
    Dev Mode is turned on for each module on the page.\n\n    Messages logged using
    java.util.logging at level SEVERE and above are written to the browser console
    by default.\n\n    Fixed a startup faesting\n\n    Better error reporting for
    compile errors while running tests.\n\n    Messages logged using java.util.logging
    at level SEVERE and above are written to the browser console and test output by
    default.\n\n    -Dgwt.htmlunit.debug may be used to open a JavaScript debugger
    window when running a test using HtmlUnit.\n\n    Removed RunStyleRemoteWeb and
    the BrowserManager tool.\n\n    Removed flags: -standardsMode, -nostandardsMode,
    -quirksMode. (GWTTestCase tests are always run in an HTML page in standards mode.)\n\nFor
    even more detail, see the Issue Tracker.\n"
