Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that a regression has been reported by a Gradle user, and it comes down to a binary incompatibility introduced in Groovy 2.3.6: https://discuss.gradle.org/t/compilestatic-automatic-type-conversion-failure-gradle-2-8-regression/12684/4
And the corresponding JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7071 I would like by this email to tell you to be very conservative when updating public methods. Always make sure you keep the old version around when you update the parameter types, and *never* change return types, because it's a binary breaking change. I already introduced a binary compatibility report a few months ago, but the library that I used wasn't feature complete at that time: https://github.com/apache/incubator-groovy/blob/783f6d408017a23ce60c950476ebbcbef50b8a10/gradle/binarycompatibility.gradle#L32-L32 Ideally we should take time to upgrade the plugin and enforce binary compatibility. Best regards, Cédric
