What is coming up for scala in 2.10?

Question

Obviously there is the reflection library but what else can we expect to see in the next release of scala? Any language changes? Is there a website where I can see a roadmap?

There is some more discussion here: [Scala Roadmap Post 2.9.0](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5966068/scala-roadmap-post-2-9-0) — Kipton Barros, Sep 07 '11 at 16:55
You could watch or read the notes of the [ScalaDays 2012 keynote](http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/t0lyl/scaladays_2012_oderskys_keynote_where_scala_is/) by Odersky. — schmmd, May 02 '12 at 02:27

The smaller items:

Huge @deprecation cleanup
scala.Dynamic could be finally enabled by default
Huge improvements to documentation
Many fixes which make ScalaDoc a pleasure to use
Fixes to the continuation compiler plugin
Faster hashing algorithm for Products and collections

Some changes which I hope will be included:

Removal of scala.dbc
Removal of useless code examples and flower pictures which currently ship with the standard library

Your main link to significant improvements/changes is broken. It seems the hosting service provider is out of business. – JimN Oct 09 '13 at 21:12

This is not a detailed road-map: shame, I would have hoped that they would have something more solid by now – oxbow_lakes Sep 08 '11 at 13:33

Odersky's talk What's new in Scala 2.10 at Java One 2012 contained pretty much the latest details about this.
