<h2>Release Notes for @GWT_VERSION@</h2>
+ <p>
+ This release adds explicit support for Internet Explorer 8,
Firefox 3.5, and Safari 4 as well as a few high-priority bug fixes.
+ In all other respects, it is very similar to GWT 1.6.
+ Note, however, that this release is version 1.7 rather than
version 1.6.5 to signify a potentially breaking change for libraries
+ that use deferred binding to specialize code based on user agent
(see the next section for technical details).
+ </p>
+ <h3>Potentially breaking changes and fixes</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ This release includes explicit support for IE8, which has some
significant behavioral changes from prior versions of IE.
+ These changes are great enough that the new value
<code>ie8</code> has been added for the <code>user.agent</code> deferred
binding client property.
+ If you have deferred binding rules (i.e.
<code><replace-with></code> or <code><generate-with></code>) or
property providers
+ that are sensitive to <code>user.agent</code>, you may need to
update them to account for the <code>ie8</code> value.
+ For more information, see the <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/IE8Support";>technical
notes</a>.
+ </li>
