Changelog:
Scala 2.11.8 is now available!
March 8, 2016
We are pleased to announce the availability of Scala 2.11.8!
Significant changes since 2.11.7 include:
The Scala REPL now has robust and flexible tab-completion (details below)
An assortment of bugs have been fixed
Compared to 2.11.7, this release resolves 44 issues. We merged 175 pull requests.
As usual for minor releases, Scala 2.11.8 is binary compatible with other releases in the Scala 2.11 series.
The last planned 2.11.x release will be 2.11.9 in late 2016.
New tab-completion in the Scala REPL
The implementation of tab-completion in the Scala REPL has been rewritten and now uses the same infrastructure as for example Scala IDE and ENSIME.
There are a number of improvements:
Reliable completion, also in partial expressions and syntactically incorrect programs: try class C { def f(l: List[Int]) = l.<TAB>
CamelCase completion: try (l: List[Int]).rro<TAB>, it expands to (l: List[Int]).reduceRightOption
Show desugarings performed by the compiler by adding //print: try for (x <- 1 to 10) println(x) //print<TAB>
Complete bean getters without typing get: try (d: java.util.Date).day<TAB>
Find members by typing any CamelCased part of the name: try classOf[String].typ<TAB> to get getAnnotationsByType, getComponentType and others
Complete non-qualified names, including types: try def f(s: Str<TAB>
Press tab twice to see the method signature: try List(1,2,3).part<TAB>, which completes to List(1,2,3).partition; press tab again to display def partition(p: Int => Boolean): (List[Int], List[Int])
Thanks to @retronym and @som-snytt for their fruitful collaboration on this work!
