It isn't obvious to me from the release notes which of these changes are
only for groovy 4 and which will also land in groovy 3.
The beta designator suggests that groovy 4 is now feature complete and
only bug fixing remains. Would you be able to talk about the big picture
changes that meant we quite quickly went from 3 to 4.
In our open source app [1] we are just starting to do the testing for
the groovy 2 -> 3 upgrade, but if we knew a bit more about v4 we might
wait for that. Is it likely we'll see a final release this year?
Cheers
