In the last version of scala (2.10.3) REPL, I can type exit to quit from REPL. However, in Scala 2.11.0 this doesn't work. 

$ scala

              ^

I ran into the same issue on upgrade, just use colon q.

Additionally, exit was deprecated in 2.10.x with sys.exit suggested instead, so this works as well:

sys.exit

As a side note, I think they did this so you can distinguish between exiting the scala console in sbt and exiting sbt itself, though I could be wrong.
