GWT 2.8.2 erschienen

Supports running in Java 9. Note that this does not yet mean that GWT can compile Java 9 sources, or support the Java 9 JRE changes, but that a Java 9 JRE can be used to compile a GWT project. Do note that the new --module-path flag is not supported, but-classpath must still be used as in the past.
Chrome 61 removed functionality that had been used for reading the absolute top/left values. The internal implementation has been updated to reflect modern standards.
Uncaught exception handler will now receive all errors on the page, as handled bywindow.onerror. This may potentially be a breaking change if there were misbehaving scripts on the page. To disable this functionality, set the propertygwt.uncaughtexceptionhandler.windowonerror to IGNORE:

    <set-property name="gwt.uncaughtexceptionhandler.windowonerror" value="IGNORE"/>
