Hi all! The Apache Groovy PPMC has successfully voted the release of Apache Groovy 2.4.5-incubating [1], with 4 "+1" binding votes, one "+1" non binding and no 0/-1 votes. We are now asking the IPMC to vote it too.
This release was done in a particular context, at the SpringOne2GX conference. Following a very successful BOF session, we followed up with a release initiation party to share the knowledge about how to perform a release! We anticipate this will make it easier for more of us to be involved with releases in the future. It's worth noting that the release was performed with the presence of Baruch Sadogursky from JFrog (Artifactory/Bintray) that we use, and he could already suggest some nice improvements in our release process that we're going to improve for the upcoming releases.
