GWT 2.0.4 is now available, to solve Safari crash

Recently Apple released Safari 5, which included a bug where non-integral right-shifts were not being evaluated properly. There were several reports, both internally and externally, of GWT-based applications unexpectedly crashing when running in Safari 5 (including Google Wave).

Google have a fix for this issue, plus several other house keeping items that have been rolled into a 2.0.4 release, which can be downloaded from GWT’s main download site.

If you’re experiencing the Safari crash, you’ll need to recompile and deploy your GWT app. The changes in 2.0.4 are completely compatible with your existing 2.0 app, and should have no negative impact.
