Hi guys, As some of you may know, I've been investigating a memory leak which involves all versions of Groovy starting from 2.4. The leak comes from a bug in the VM regarding how it handles ClassValue, that Groovy 2.4 started using. All VMs are affected (7, 8 and 9) and it's still unclear when this will be fixed. So I would like to suggest to rollback this change for the next release.
Basically, this commit: https://github.com/apache/incubator-groovy/commit/97d78e9e52deb52c8e66db501ef208f30384d014 It greatly affects Gradle, so I would suggest to make the change ASAP (2.4.5) if everyone agrees.
