+ <p>
+ The GWT dependencies for Vaadin are now provided as actual dependencies
+ and not bundled with Vaadin packages. This means that you can override
+ the GWT version in your own project if you want to. Note that the GWT Elemental
+ is still partially bundled with shared package to avoid having the gwt-user as a
+ dependency everywhere.
