The release candidate of GWT 1.2 was announced today. After a long wait, we finally have support for OS X. Another really cool feature is the speed improvements in hosted mode.

Check out the official announcement on the GWT blog for more details of what’s new in this release.

The Java Posse this past Sunday put their GWT Roundtable podcast online. It features three members of the GWT community, Bruce Johnson (GWT tech lead), Robert Hanson (GWT Widget Library creator) and Ryan Dewsbury (Gpokr.com creator).

Downloading the podcast seems kind of slow, so be patient.
