actors with daemon-style semantics

Scala 2.8 was announced yesterday. They highlight among other things "Enhanced actors".

What does "actors with daemon-style semantics" mean and where can I find more about that?

It means the same as with daemon threads: A live daemon actor will not keep a system from exiting when 'main' finishes

Right. I was looking for a method in actor, but it's a trait by its own: DaemonActor
