I noticed a couple issues with this release: GROOVY-10381<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10381> (duplicate interface default methods):
1. the location of the error ends up at line -1 of the offending source file 2. the override scenario given in the first comment was not tested and actually results in an error for "inheriting unrelated default methods" * Thus, the change is a breaking one for any class that overrides an interface default method that is duplicated by another interface GROOVY-8551<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8551> (array initializer parser changes) 1. commit https://github.com/apache/groovy/commit/3084279cd93cc541a625ae5f4f29d9fc48844498 is described as "simplify parser rules for array" * This change came in on the 21st without any review or notification * This change was not linked on the cited issue ticket * This change reverts specific, intentional changes designed to make the parser/recognizer and AST builder faster/simpler * No new issue was created to describe or trach the shortcomings of the previous solution or the discussion for the new solution ________________________________ From: Paul King <pa...@asert.com.au> Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2025 4:44 PM To: Groovy_Developers <dev@groovy.apache.org> Subject: [EXT] [VOTE] Release Apache Groovy 5.0.0-alpha-12 External Email: Use caution with links and attachments.
