We will be doing a revision, but it won't be released for a while and we have no release date yet. The existing book is actually very relevant for 2.8, because Martin pretty much knew what was coming in 2.8 when we wrote it, and we also made sure all the code examples in the book compiled under 2.8. At least, during one of the latter 2.8 release candidates we compiled every code example in the book and found a very small number of examples that didn't compile and sent them to Martin, who wanted to make sure they all worked in 2.8. I.e., he wanted to see if he needed to tweak 2.8 while there was still time to make sure all the code shown in the current book still worked. However, I don't know if he decided to leave a few broken. I'll ask him and post the answer here. But the list we sent him was very small to begin with. The main thing missing from the book is coverage of new things in 2.8, like named and default parameters the copy method on case classes, the new design of collections, etc. But all the collections code we show works in 2.8 and the case classes coverage is correct, etc.
