I've written a rather large program in Scala 2.75, and now I'm looking forward to version 2.8. But I'm curious about how this big leap in the evolution of Scala will affect me.

What will be the biggest differences between these two versions of Scala? And perhaps most importantly:

Will I need to rewrite anything?
Do I want to rewrite anything just to take advantage of some cool new feature?
What exactly are the new features of Scala 2.8 in general?

I don't understand why authors said that Code Listing 9.1 from "Programming in Scala" use closure.
