 Greetings from the Scala 3 team! We are glad to announce that Scala 3.0.1 and 3.0.2-RC1 are now officially out.
-As no critical bugs have been found in the previously released Scala 3.0.1-RC2, it has been promoted to 3.0.1, which is the first stable release after 3.0.0. Scala 3.0.2-RC1, in turn, incorporates new language improvements and bug fixes.

You can expect the release of stable 3.0.2 and a release candidate for a the next version in 6 weeks from now (1st August).

 # Towards better null safety in the type system
 
-The compiler option `-Yexplicit-nulls` modifies Scala's standard type hierarchy to allow easier tracing of nullable values by performing strict checks directly on the level of the type system rather than just relying of conventions (e.g. this prevents you from writing code like `val foo: Option[String] = Some(null)`, which would be otherwise valid Scala although very likely to cause a `NullPointerException` at some further point).

 After the recently introduced changes with this option enabled the `Null` type becomes a subtype of `Matchable` instead of inheriting directly from `Any`, making the code below compile (this used to compile before only without strict nullability checking).

-This code won't compile. This is because when `Sink[String]` gets erased to `Sink[Object]` (as it's seen from from JVM's perspective) the method's signature becomes `put(x: Object): Unit` while for the structural type it remains unchanged as `put(x: String): Unit` and they wouldn't match in runtime therefore `Sink[String]` cannot be treated as a subtype of `{ def put(x: String): Unit }`.

 We might however try to write a better method dispatch algorithm ourselves instead of relying on the JVM's default one to make this work. To assure the compiler that we know what we're doing we'll need to use the new `Selectable.WithoutPreciseParameterTypes` marker trait. Currently it's an experimental feature (introduced by [#12268](https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/pull/12268)) so you'll be able to use it only with a snapshot or nightly version of the compiler and you'll need to annotate all subtypes of this trait with `@experimental`.
