Here are some interesting links from the past week:

• Java Shared Transactional Memory for GWT - JSTM is a library that allows you to share state between clients allowing for distributed GWT applications. [screencast]
• GWT-REST 0.1 - Open source library for using GWT with REST web services.
• MyGWT vs gwt-ext - Trying to figure out which library to use? This is a good thread on the developer forum discussing the pros and cons of each of these two excellent, but similar libraries.
• IT Mill Toolkit 5 - ITMill is a server-side Ajax framework that uses GWT on the client side. They’re asking the GWT community about whether or not they should make a GWT only version of their widget set, so let them know.
• Hands-On Google Web Toolkit - Nice article by Ed Burnette and Adam Haughton demonstrating GWT’s features to develop a mash-up photoviewer.

Got some interesting GWT stuff to share? Just send an email to chris@gwtsite.com.

Bill Cullifer of the WOW Technology Minute has a set of video interviews he conducted last week at the GWT conference with various members of the GWT community. It’s quite interesting to be able to put a face to the names.

• Ryan Dewsbury - Developer of GPokr and KDice and author of the book Google Web Toolkit Applications.
• Shanjian Li - One of the engineers at Google specializing in Internationalization.
• Joel Webber - Tech lead and co-creator of GWT.
• David Geary - Author of the book Google Web Toolkit Solutions: More Cool & Useful Stuff
• Bruce Johnson - Tech lead and the other co-creator of GWT.

GWT 1.4.61 is now available

This release fixes two main issues.

• "Operation aborted" error in IE6/IE7. [issue 1578]
• Fix for XSS vulnerability in hosted mode.

I’ve actually encountered the "Operation aborted" error myself, so I’m glad this got fixed. The GWT team strongly recommends that you update your GWT applications to use this latest build.
