I have seen the GWT team working very hard indeed on GWT 1.5, and they must be very happy to see the final release shipped and complete:

- Java 5 language support and enhanced JRE emulation
- Performance optimizations and easier JavaScript interop
- Prettier widgets, better DOM, accessibility, and bi-di
You can see a lot of this at work in the showcase area. There you will see all of the widgets and examples that come out of the box, and the community has developed even more for you. In particular, Ray Cromwell has some great real world examples that he shares in his book and talk.
Download GWT and take a look.
