Dear development community, I am happy to start the VOTE thread for a Groovy 3.0.0-rc-1 release!
This release includes 52 bug fixes/improvements as outlined in the changelog: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12318123&version=12345982 Groovy 3 is nearing lockdown status for final release. One part which has only recently been finished and still needs a bit more polishing is a revamped groovydoc. It no longer requires antlr2. Groovy files are parsed using antlr4 and Java using com.github.javaparser. Because this new version is less stable than the rest of the release it currently is disabled by default and enabled with the 'preview.groovydoc.antlr4' system property. The plan is for this property to be removed before final release but feedback on existing functionality welcome. You might need to include additional dependent jars on your classpath when using the current version.
