We’re pleased to announce the release of Scala 3.8 — a significant release that modernizes the Scala ecosystem and paves the way for Scala 3.9 LTS. This release introduces a standard library compiled by Scala 3 itself, stabilizes highly-anticipated features like Better Fors (SIP-62) and runtimeChecked (SIP-57), and introduces experimental features including flexible varargs and strict equality pattern matching . Known regressions Notable regression in Scala 3.8.0 only: A runtime regression was detected after publishing Scala 3.8.0 artifacts.
