   For the GitHub release itself, I was planning to make these the release 
notes: 
   
                Apache Grails (incubating) 7.0.0-M4 is the first release for 
Grails under the Apache Software Foundation (ASF).  This release focuses first 
on meeting the requirements of the ASF & improving the developer experience of 
Grails itself & Grails Applications.  As part of this transition, the 
developers moved to a mono repository, reworked the way the various Grails CLIs 
work, modernized its build system, modernized the various Grails Gradle Tasks, 
modernized the various Grails Gradle Plugins, worked towards reproducible 
builds, added license headers to our source code, and changed the maven 
coordinates of all Grails Artifacts.
