Hi Everyone, As discussed in the weekly, the developers have been working on plugin upgrades external from the grails project itself & stability improvements for the Grails project to help people convert to Grails 7. We have quite a few changes that larger application upgrades have found & intend to put together a 7.0.6 release soon; hopefully this week.
Contributions thus far: 1. Groovy 4.0.30 support 2. invoke dynamic support will be off in newly generated applications (see associated thread) 3. various documentation cleanup 4. a new app welcome page for newly generated applications 5. a bom fix to remove redundant properties, standardize naming with upstream boms, and fix values for the asciidoctor / rxjava properties 6. various build cleanup in preparation for 8.0.0 development We are hoping to still include: 1. The asset pipeline changes that David has been working on. These changes will revamp the webjar support, implement generic wildcard support, fix some long standing issues with the dart asset pipeline around path handling, fix non css/js extensions to work again, update the i18n asset-pipeline project, & more. We understand that the asset pipeline is critical to 7.0.0 adoption, so special thanks to David for spending time on cleaning up that plugin. Other changes on the horizon: 1. Gradle 8.14.4 to support Java 25; if it's out when we release, we'll update, otherwise we will cut another minor release when it's available. 2. More build changes will be coming (there should be no required changes to any end grails application). These changes are to support the initial Grails 8 development & hibernate changes that Walter has been working on. 3. the grails-micronaut changes to properly support micronaut in Grails 7 Regards, James
