Scala 3.0.0-RC3 – bug fixes for 3.0.0 stable
Hello! With this blog article, we would like to announce the release of Scala 3.0.0-RC3. Some critical bugs were discovered during the previous release cycle, whose fixes had to be included in 3.0.0 stable. Therefore, we are having RC3 to give the community time to test our fixes.
This release also impacts the release date for 3.0.0 stable. 3.0.0 stable will get a green light if no critical bugs are discovered until May 12th. Otherwise we may need to have an RC4.
Bug fixes included
- Fix type test for trait parameter arguments #12066
- Set file filter correctly #12119
- Provide mirror support after inlining #12079
- Revert "Recursively check nonvariant arguments of base types for realizability" #12067
- When simplifying match types, ensure fully defined before reducing #12068
- sbt-dotty: the binary version is 3 for Scala >= 3.0.0 #12084
- Fix isInstanceOf[Array[?]] returning true on non-Array #12108
- Scala2Unpickler: don't unpickle the same type parameter twice #12129
- Overloading resolution: Handle SAM types more like Java and Scala 2 #12131
