---------------------------------
Summary: Inadvertent source code incompatibility in Groovy 2.4.7
release
Key: GROOVY-8126
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8126
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.4.7
Reporter: Paul King
Assignee: Paul King
I just spotted a changed in 2.4.7 that inadvertently broke source code/contract
compatibility. After 1 year it seems just as dangerous to revert as to leave.
So I am creating this Jira to note the change and suggest a workaround. We'll
change this issue if a better solution is found.

- public GroovyCodeSource(URL url) throws IOException {
+ public GroovyCodeSource(URL url) {
{noformat}
Suggested workarounds.
# If you are upgrading and are going to now only use Groovy 2.4.7 and above,
just delete any catch statements catching IOException.
# If you have code that needs to work with old and new versions of Groovy and
are checking for the IOException, change it to just Exception and check for
IOException using instanceof if needed.
