ANNOUNCEMENT

We are very pleased to announce the availability of Scala 2.11.7!

We would like to highlight the following changes:

Exhaustivity checking for pattern matching is now much snappier — thank you @gbasler! (SI-9181)

A 300x more embeddable Scala REPL, brought to you by a team effort with Apache Spark. Thank you @ScrapCodes, @retronym & co! (#4548, #4563)

Scala also <3 INDYs – experiment with all our favorite new Java 8 features as follows and get an exclusive sneak preview of 2.12.0-M2!

Oh, and the spec is now much spiffier! Thanks, @soc!

Compared to 2.11.6, this release resolves 53 issues. We merged 124 pull requests (out of 157). Before upgrading, please also check the known issues for this release.

As usual for minor releases, Scala 2.11.7 is binary compatible with other releases in the Scala 2.11 series.

The quarterly release schedule will continue for 2.11.x until the end of this year, and a few more quarters into 2016.
