Bugs None. Enhancements
- [#210 <https://github.com/groovy/GMavenPlus/issues/210>] Improve error messages when Groovy classes can't be located (avoiding the NullPointerExceptions that were causing confusion and instead throwing our own exception). - [#221 <https://github.com/groovy/GMavenPlus/pull/221>] apache/groovy@ 8d19017 #diff-5522480b605c81fc7dd50f58b857f5fc8802ea69229742441c6fdef328846062 <https://github.com/apache/groovy/commit/8d1901775668874575a92275304546949a3cd9c8#diff-5522480b605c81fc7dd50f58b857f5fc8802ea69229742441c6fdef328846062> caused an exception to be thrown for Groovy 4.0.0-RC-1 and newer when binding properties in a script/console/shell and bindPropertiesToSeparateVariables is false. The error logging when this happens has been improved. - [#223 <https://github.com/groovy/GMavenPlus/issues/223>] Support 5, 6, 7, 8, and 1.9 arguments to targetBytecode so that validation doesn't unexpectedly fail since it uses the maven.compiler.target property and these arguments are valid for javac. Potentially breaking changes This release requires Java 8 and drops support for Java 7. This was necessary to update dependencies which fix vulnerabilities. Specifically, in maven-archiver. At the time of release, the following dependencies were not compatible with Java 7 - org.apache.commons:commons-compress - org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-archiver - org.apache.maven:maven-archiver - org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-io - org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-utils This is not the first breaking release, but it is the first breaking release to follow the semver <https://semver.org/> conventions. Notes None.
