Highlights

  • Updated to HtmlUnit 2.55.0 and Jetty 9.4.44. With this newer HtmlUnit build comes support for Promise in unit tests, and the browser strings that can be specified when running tests are "FF", "Chrome", "IE" (for IE11), "Edge", and "Safari".

  • Tested support for running on Java 17, dropped remaining support for running on Java 7.

  • Maven groupId is formally changed to org.gwtproject, projects should take care to ensure they are using either the old com.google.gwt:gwt BOM or the new org.gwtproject:gwt BOM to sure that Maven or Gradle correctly handle this change. This will be the last published version using the com.google.gwt groupId.

  • Dropped support for IE 8, 9, and 10.

Bug fixes

  • Correct Long.hashCode semantics
  • Support CLASSPATH environment variable when creating child processes, fixing a bug where Windows could fail with a long list of arguments.
  • Use Function.name instead of displayName to support visible method names in Chrome 93+.
  • Allow stack traces to be available in Chrome when loading scripts from a remote origin.

JRE Emulation

  • Added OutputStreamWriter emulation.
  • Support StringReader mark() and reset() methods.
  • Added StrictMath emulation.
  • Added BufferedWriter emulation.
  • Added incomplete PrintStream emulation.
  • Add Charset.defaultCharset() emulation.
  • Improve BigInteger emulated performance.
  • System.nanoTime() emulation with performance.now().
  • Added Optional.isEmpty emulation.
  • JRE Emulation improvements/simplifications to facilitate J2CL's WASM support. Note that these do not always offer specific improvements to GWT itself, but helps to keep the codebases consistent.

Miscellaneous

  • Add support to compile GWT itself in Java 9+.
  • Improve compiled code size for applications that never use streams, by avoiding referencing streams from Throwable.
