Hello and welcome to another week in #Scala! As usual we’ve got loads of awesome releases and blogs to tell you about (there’s simply not enough time to read them all!)…
New Stuff
The latest Akka docs are now available in mobi format.
Specs2-1.9 released for Scala 2.10.0-M2.
A plug-in by Pat Gannon for Sublime Text 2 that lets you run a single Scala Test, or all tests in your project. It also lets you quickly navigate to any scala files in your project folder, and switch back and forth between a class and its test. There’s also a blog on the subject here.

sbt-assembly 0.8.0, now with support for reference.conf.
