Episode description

Unsupported Operation 84 Misc
  • Not really “new”, but I rediscovered the fact that since Git 1.8.2, that submodules now support following a branch rather than a fixed commit SHA1 - this actually makes them somewhat usable.
  • JDK8 Build 91 available - Sadly, this didn't fix my method handle issue.
  • Atlassian JIRA 6 was released - teases with Bamboo 5 updates
  • Yourkit Profiler 2013 EAP launched, personal licences only US$99 until June 4, 2013.
  • Spring 4 announced, indicates support for JSE8 and Groovy 2 as the first class language, pushing Groovy 2 bigtime.
  • Action Launcher Pro 1.7 for Android was released - best launcher ever. Adds support for icon packs and just makes it that bit more... awesome.
