> 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.

> 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.
