We would like to thank all people who contributed to this release. Known issues Just prior to release an issue was discovered when using final fields in traits. In earlier versions of Groovy, modifiers like final and transient on fields in traits were ignored but Groovy now honors those modifiers. Unfortunately, in some cases trait generation when final fields are in use is incorrect and will be fixed shortly. The following issue will be updated as this progresses: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8048 We welcome your help and feedback.
