GWT 1.0.21 was released yesterday. You can find the details of what’s changed on the Google Web Toolkit Blog. The main issue for me that was fixed was Issue #9157420 – Compiler reports errors for non-ASCII characters (UTF-8 not supported). I’ve just tested it and it works great. I can now get chinese text to display in my page correctly now. Also, it now looks like GWT will work on IE7, although I can’t test it since I’ve already uninstalled it because of that very issue.

They’ve also put up a new issue tracker page so you can keep track of the latest bugs and features.
