+=== Regex group extraction
+
+Capturing regex groups was always possible via `Matcher` (`m[0][1]` and
+friends), but the common case -- pull a few named pieces out of a string --
+meant juggling group indices and guarding against a non-match. `findGroups`
+returns the full match followed by each capture group as a `List`, so it
+pairs naturally with multi-assignment. This isn't new capability; it just
+removes the `Matcher` boilerplate from one very common case
+(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11958[GROOVY-11958]):

+
+def (_, major, minor, patch, qualifier) = '6.0.0-beta-2'.findGroups(semver)
+assert [major, minor, patch, qualifier] == ['6', '0', '0', 'beta-2']
+
+// optional qualifier absent: multi-assignment pads with null,
+// so the same destructuring works whether or not it matched
+def (_all, ma, mi, pa, q) = '4.0.28'.findGroups(semver)
+assert [ma, mi, pa, q] == ['4', '0', '28', null]
