FileUpload widget - The much-requested file upload widget

FormPanel widget - Easily submit traditional HTML forms from GWT apps

JUnit enhancements - Unit tests are much, much faster than 1.0.21, and you can now test RPCs and timers

Automatic resource injection - Modules can contain references to external JavaScript and CSS files, causing them to be automatically loaded when the module itself is loaded

gwt-servlet.jar - Deploy this jar to add RPC to your servlet-based webapps without having to manually crack open gwt-user.jar to remove the servlet API classes
