The book has been updated to cover new features up to and including Scala version 2.12, such as:
Implicit classes
Creating your own AnyVals
String interpolation
Futures and concurrency, including new methods added in 2.12 and asynchronous testing with Futures in ScalaTest 3.0
Wildcard types
The close integration of Scala 2.12 and Java 8, most significantly the new ability to use function literals to express instances of SAM types
The latest recommendations for Scala coding style
New recommendations for writing hashCode
The context bounds syntax for typeclasses

I took the effort to submit about a dozen specific error reports (probably two or three months ago).
However, none of those reports appear on those errata pages (and neither did I receive any feedback that my reports were invalid or otherwise not accepted).
Sorry, this was my fault. I failed to turn on email notifications when new errata are posted for the book. There's a backlog of them. I'll start working my way through them on Tuesday.
Hi, I bought the Kindle version of this book from Amazon. In the introduction lots of nice features of the pdf version are described. Unfortunately these have been lost i the conversion to kindle format. On top of that, this is my first kindle experience, and I don't find it as good as pdf! Does my purchase of the kindle version entitle me to the pdf version? Thanks
