Hi everybody, The Groovy development team is happy to deliver two new releases as early Christmas presents: Groovy 1.8.5 and 2.0-beta-2.
While we work hard on Invoke Dynamic support, Static Type Checking and some experimental static compilation, we also find time to fix a good load of bugs and some minor improvements, as those two releases here are essentially minor incremental versions. You can have a look at the tickets closed here, for 1.8.5: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10242&version=18071 And here for 2.0-beta-2: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10242&version=18072 You can download both distributions at the usual place: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Download?nc If you want to play with the experimental static compilation, you can do so by following the instructions from the GEP-10 page: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GroovyJSR/GEP+10+-+Static+compilation Look for the "testing" paragraph in the middle of the document, which contains a link to the experimental JAR, as well as some basic explanations. Thanks a lot to all those who contributed to this release: developers, contributors, users, bug reporters. On behalf of the Groovy development team, we'd like to wish you a Groovy Christmas and a very Happy New Year. -- Guillaume Laforge Groovy Project Manager SpringSource, a division of VMware Blog: http://glaforge.appspot.com/ Twitter: @glaforge <http://twitter.com/glaforge> Google+: http://gplus.to/glaforge
