The download from the wiki page is still the old one until we get done with
the changes (as rebuilding all of them is a lot of work), and it will
continue to function with current trunk.  However, the UI won't benefit from
the changes made, as the old plugin does not send a session key or the top
level URL used to identify particular sessions/modules.  That means you will
basically see every module instance in one browser (if you have multiple
modules) as a separate session containing one module, and all those sessions
will be grouped into a single tab.

You can also build the plugin and test it yourself (shortly it will have the
final plugin identifier so you can have both the old and the new one
installed [make sure to only have one enabled at a time] so you can try it
out without risk -- before then you will have to re-install from the wiki
page if you want to switch back).  To build from trunk, make sure you have
plugin-sdks checked out parallel to where you have trunk checked out with
svn co http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/plugin-sdks .
in the same directory where your trunk is, then in plugins/xpcom just type
make BROWSER=ff35 (or ff3, or ff2 depending on what browser you want to use)
and install the resulting oophm-xpcom-ff*.xpi by browsing to the prebuilt
directory.
