Hi folks, We are due for some more releases shortly. We just have a few outstanding fixes we'd like to put in place before hitting the go button. But just as a heads up, we might be ready to proceed next week. So, time to get in any changes you had in mind, or let me know if there is anything we need to wait for.
With respect to Groovy 5, I was planning to release beta-1. We have been holding back releasing alphas seeing whether we'd find time for a few "big ticket breaking" items which I think we should now push to Groovy 6. I have had feedback from several folks, keen to progress this release more quickly at this stage. Please shout if you have any concerns and we can do a discussion thread/vote on the release version if needed. The items we haven't progressed far enough for inclusion are: * Module definitions written in Groovy (i.e. module-info.groovy) [GROOVY-9273] * Maven resolver based Grape/Grab. * Source Annotations on (some) statements, e.g. @LoopInvariant or @Parallel on a for loop. * Potential performance improvements (as per GEP-15 draft) * Additional destructuring syntax If you have cycles to help, please shout. At this stage, I'm thinking we'll target Groovy 6 for those. Given we aren't likely to progress those big items, we should be able to have an expedited series of releases leading up to Groovy 5 final. Cheers, Paul.
