-*_<<http-builder,New HTTP Client Module>> (incubating)_*
+*_Existing Module Improvements_*
-- `groovy-http-builder` offers both an imperative DSL and a declarative
`@HttpBuilderClient` interface.
-- Built on the JDK's `java.net.http.HttpClient` with native async support.
-- Auto-parsed JSON, XML and HTML responses; typed return objects driven by
interface signatures.
+- <<ginq,GINQ>> provides a cleaner `groupby ... into` which binds a group to a
named variable with aggregate access, and gains SQL-style set operators:
`union`, `intersect`, `minus`, `unionall`.
+- Consistent <<typed-parsing,typed parsing>> across JSON, CSV, TOML, YAML and
XML modules.
*_<<g6-extensions,Extension Method Additions>>_*
- New methods including `groupByMany`, `waitForResult`,
`findGroups`/`findAllGroups`, `isSorted`, and lazy `grepping`.
- Asynchronous file I/O on `Path` (`textAsync`, `bytesAsync`, `writeAsync`)
returning `CompletableFuture` — composes with `await`.
- Streamlined process handling: `pipeline`, `onExit`, `toProcessBuilder`,
named-parameter `execute(dir:, env:, ...)`.
-- Finer-grained <<g6-extension-disable,`groovy.extension.disable`>> — target
single overloads by parameter signature.
-*_<<ginq,GINQ>> and Data Format Improvements_* (see also <<typed-parsing>>)
+*_Tooling Improvements_*
-- GINQ `groupby ... into` binds each group to a named variable with aggregate
access.
-- SQL-style set operators in GINQ: `union`, `intersect`, `minus`, `unionall`.
-- Consistent typed parsing across JSON, CSV, TOML, YAML and XML modules.
+- <<groovydoc,GroovyDoc>> adds JEP 467 Markdown doc comments (`///`) and JEP
413 `{@snippet}` blocks for inline and external code samples. Also added is
Prism.js syntax highlighting, class-hierarchy tree pages,
`{@value}`/`{@inheritDoc}` support, and improved script documentation.

the GDK reference, and GroovyConsole.

-- Prism.js syntax highlighting, class-hierarchy tree pages,
`{@value}`/`{@inheritDoc}` support, script documentation.
-- Light, dark, "follow system" and custom themes for GroovyDoc, the GDK
reference, and GroovyConsole.
-- GroovyConsole gains a <<groovy-console-args,Set Script Arguments>> UI option.

-*_<<joint-compilation-stubs,Joint Compilation Stub Improvements>>
(incubating)_*
-
-- AST-transform-generated members (`@Immutable`, `@Builder`,
`@TupleConstructor`, `@Delegate`, ...) are now visible in generated stubs.
-- Java code in mixed-language projects can finally call constructors and
methods contributed by transforms.
-
-*_Other Improvements_*
-
-- <<groovy-to-string,`groovyToString()`>> protocol for customising display in
string interpolation, `println` and collection formatting.
-- <<platform-logging,Platform Logging>> API: Groovy diagnostics route through
standard JVM logging (SLF4J, Log4j2, JUL, ...).
-- <<junit6,JUnit 6>> (Jupiter 6) support.
-- Improved <<annotation-validation,annotation target validation>> on import
and loop statements.
-
-*_Broader JDK Support_* (see <<Groovy6.0-requirements>>)
-
-- Tested across JDK 17–26; JDK 17 is now the minimum supported runtime.
-- Security Manager support removed in line with JEP 411.
+- Tested across JDK 17–26; <<Groovy6.0-requirements,JDK 17>> is now the
minimum supported runtime. Module import already mentioned.
