<h2>Release Notes for @VERSION@</h2>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Wizards</li>
    <ul>
      <li>New GWT Project: Creates a new GWT project (wraps the projectCreator/applicationCreator scripts)</li>
      <li>New GWT Module: Creates a new GWT module</li>
      <li>New GWT Host Page: Creates an HTML host page for a GWT module</li>
      <li>New GWT Entry Point Class: Creates a new entry-point class for a GWT module.</li>
    </ul>
  <li>Customized editing of JSNI methods</li>
    <ul>
      <li>Syntax coloring for JavaScript idioms and references to Java entities</li>
      <li>Validation of JavaScript syntax (using the Rhino parser)</li>
      <li>Marks errors on unresolved Java references (can be disabled for a particular method with @SuppressWarnings("jsni"))</li>
      <li>Open Declaration (F3) action works on Java references</li>
      <li>Java Search includes references inside JSNI methods</li>
      <li>Refactoring Java types (move/rename) and members (rename) affects references in JSNI</li>
      <li>Auto-completion of JSNI method bodies based on the method's Java signature while also accounting for Bean-style properties.<br/>
      For example, if the java method's signature is <code>native int getFoo(int x)</code>, the proposed completions would be:
        <ul>
          <li><code>/*-{ }-*/</code></li>
          <li><code>/*-{ return this.getFoo(x); }*-/</code></li>
          <li><code>/*-{ return this.foo(x) }*-/</code></li>
          <li><code>/*-{ return this.foo[x] }*-/</code></li>
        </ul>
      </li>      
    </ul>
  <li>GWT Runtimes</li>
    <ul>
      <li>Can point to GWT jars or imported source projects (gwt-user, gwt-dev-&lt;platform&gt;)</li>
      <li>Can be easily switched via the Project Properties page (e.g., change a GWT project to use 1.5 jars instead of 1.4.6 jars)</li>
      <li>Added to project classpath as a library (similar to Java JRE)</li>
