-1 (binding) I do not think the trait static method change (GROOVY-11985) or the new Anchored transform (GROOVY-12093) should have been done in a point-fix release. GROOVY-12106 is evidence that one problem has been traded for another. There was quite a bit of discussion, but IMO the behavior should have remained as-is and Grails could investigate a workaround. Groovy 5 was in pre-release state for an extended time. So, there was plenty of time to try it out and discuss the trait changes.
Having Groovy 5.0.0 to 5.0.6 have one set of behaviors and then 5.0.7 onwards do something else plus have GROOVY-12106 and possibly other issues is not a good look. If 11985 and 12093 were removed, I'm okay with the rest of 5.0.7. We could then further weigh the possibilities for Groovy 5 and 6 WRT trait static member references. ________________________________ From: Paul King <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2026 2:46 AM To: Groovy_Developers <[email protected]> Subject: [VOTE] Release Apache Groovy 5.0.7 Dear development community, I am happy to start the VOTE thread for a Groovy 5. 0. 7 release!
