Does anyone have any recommendations for learning about Scala 2.8 changes?

Question

Up until now I've been using Scala 2.7.7 (with Programming in Scala as my main reference). But as I'm a relative n00b, and 2.8 seems as if it will be out soon, I thought it would be a good idea to start using 2.8 before I get into any bad/outdated habits.

I've seen http://www.scala-lang.org/node/1564 as a list of key new features, but does anyone have any recommendations on good articles which cover any/all of the new features in greater depth?

TIA, Paul.

UPDATE: Have just found http://sites.google.com/site/scalatohoku/changes-and-improvements-on-scala-2-8 which seems as if it might have all the information there somewhere but was hoping for something a little easier to navigate (and preferably something I could download/print to read offline).

Answer 1

The true official source for current Scala improvements is:

SID: Scala Improvement Documents,
especially the ones with a status "active".

Those are PDF documents that you can easily download and read off-line.
