If you want to hear latest status of releases etc., the Apache Groovy dev
list is a good one to subscribe to.
wrt asm library - last upgrade of ASM on 2_4_X still has issues, e.g.:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8508
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8494
Fixing that may yet require revert of ASM version. But if we manage to fix
it without reverting, we can consider another upgrade of ASM. We tend not bump
dependency versions in point releases without a good reason.
