If Groovy 6 is set to target bytecode 17, should CompilerConfiguration still offer 11-16 as valid targets? ________________________________ From: Milles, Eric (TR Technology) <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 5, 2026 11:22 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: VOTE: Release Apache Groovy 6.0.0-alpha-1
Similarly, I had tests like this. The standalone "val" is no longer a VariableExpression. Adding a semicolon resolves this case.

Given the following: class C { Object val String toString() { val as String } } It now reports "unable to resolve class as." ________________________________ From: Milles, Eric (TR Technology) <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 5, 2026 9:18 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: VOTE: Release Apache Groovy 6.0.0-alpha-1 Sorry, I missed that bit.

A class loader is passed into Grape.grab (within GrabAnnotationTransformation). But this class loader is ignored by the internal call to GrapeEngine.getInstance. Neither the class loader for Grape.class nor the context class loader will find GrapeIvy in my Equinox/OSGi environment. I'll have to look at the old code and see how it resolved to GrapeIvy. I think it was more direct. ________________________________ From: Paul King <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Monday, May 4, 2026 1:27 AM To: Groovy_Developers <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: VOTE: Release Apache Groovy 6.0.0-alpha-1 Dear development community, I am happy to start the VOTE thread for a Groovy 6. 0. 0-alpha-1 release!
