Hi, the last release was 1.7.0 in 2015. Is there any new release planned? Wondering what the future plan for gwt-highcharts is. Will it take advantage of the latest JsInterop from gwt 2.8.0?
I am not familiar with sourceforge, but it seems only source code of tagged releases (1.7.0 as the latest) are available, but no ongoing dev is visible in the source forge repo. Is it expected for gwt-highcharts?
Thanks!

Greetings! This project is definitely alive and well, and the Moxie Group commercial company continues to back the project. There has been good success using the GWT Highcharts 1.7.0 release in projects that are even trying to use the latest and greatest 5.x releases of the Highcharts/Highstocks JS libraries - so there hasn't been a strong reason for a new release over the past year. There have been a couple of minor bugs reported as well as some new JS options that we'd like to add GWT wrapper methods for though (as well as the new "polygon" chart type), so we plan to do another GWT Highcharts release sometime this spring with those enhancements. We haven't done that actual coding work yet, so any contributions would be very much welcome and appreciated! (To contribute: use the "Code -> Fork" option here in SourceForge to setup a fork that you can commit code to, and then in your fork you can initiate a merge request to ask for your commit to be merged back into the main repository.)
Regarding JsInterop: I want to be honest that I'm not sure how soon Moxie Group itself will get to that this year, as all of our projects are currently GWT 2.7.0 based - and it's not clear how soon we'll start moving any of those projects to 2.8.0. I believe GWT Highcharts will still work as-is with the recent release of GWT 2.8.0 via the current JSNI approach, but I do see GWT Highcharts as a great candidate to take advantage of the new JsInterop features. There are many people/projects using GWT Highcharts in GWT 2.6 and 2.7 projects as well though, so it would ideally need to be done in some backwards compatible way without needing to branch the entire repo. If there is anyone in the community that could start investigating ways to begin utilizing JsInterop within GWT Highcharts in a backwards compatible fashion, please let me know!
