+            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.
