Scala 3.7.3-RC1 is now available for testing!
The third and final patch release in the Scala 3.7 series is largely a collection of bug fixes, but it also delivers updates to several experimental features.
Compilation with -source:future now apply stricter syntax rules - legacy if and implicit keyword syntax is no longer accepted. The -source:future flag is meant for developers who want to experiment with cutting-edge Scala capabilities and explore how the language might evolve without strict backward-source compatibility.
The final 3.7.3 release is scheduled for no earlier than 25 August 2025.
