If you don't use GWT, this is the same as the previous release, but if you do use GWT, this should improve on 1.9.10.6 a lot. It makes the html:superDev task no longer require manually terminating a server process (it ends it automatically), which was also true of 1.9.10.6, but also fixes a bug in that release that didn't start the superDev code server. Now you can reload normally for superDev, using the bookmarklets or refresh button to recompile changed classes. This depends on Gretty, a Gradle Jetty plugin, to handle the server during development; this is similar to much older versions that used Jetty to launch a file server.
