Scala is a modern multi-paradigm programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages including mixins, algebraic datatypes with pattern matching, genericity, and more. It is well integrated with Java and .NET: the Scala compiler produces standard Java class files or .NET assemblies, and Java/.NET libraries and frameworks can be used without glue code or additional declarations.

Changes:
The Scala compiler now generates Java's generic signatures, so that Scala generics are visible to Java. The compiler can now parse (but not translate) Java source files, enabling mixed Java/Scala projects with recursive dependencies between them. The first beta version of the ScalaSwing library is now bundled with the distribution. New implementations of IntMap, LongMap, TreeHashMap (immutable), ArrayStack, and OpenHashMap (mutable) were added.
