+=== Array initializers in annotations
+
+* Array initializer syntax (`{...}`) is now accepted in annotation
+attribute values, matching Java -- e.g. `@A(name={})` and
+`@A(name={""})` on a class. Previously these required explicit
+`new String[]{...}` syntax
+(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11866[GROOVY-11866]).
+* Array initializer syntax is also accepted in annotation default
+values within `@interface` declarations -- e.g.
