Dear development community, I am happy to start the VOTE thread for a Groovy 2.4.15 release! This is mainly to fix a regression in calling static methods in interfaces. We were trying to improve the JDK9 experience but on the 2.4 branch it caused existing functionality to be impacted even on JDK8.
This release includes 6 bug fixes/improvements as outlined in the changelog: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12318123&version=12342853 Tag: https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf?p=groovy.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/GROOVY_2_4_15 Tag commit id: 067f3d3f3ec660ceb86f6bf0ce38c4dfcef5c11c The artifacts to be voted on are located as follows (r25897).
