Groovy 2.4.8 just released. It has a lot of bug fixes, a couple of which are important to TinkerPop:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12318123&version=12335950 One is related to a critical security fix: http://groovy-lang.org/security.html The other is related to an issue (yet again) with a memory leak in relation to the ScriptEngine: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7683 Which may give us a fix for: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1560 I've created this issue in JIRA for tracking: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1598 Anyway, I think we should bump the groovy version from 3.1.x on up. I'll assume lazy consensus and move forward unless there are objections in the next 72 hours (Tuesday, January 17, 2017 at 11:15 am EST).
