Dear development community, I am happy to start the VOTE thread for a Groovy 2.5.0-beta-3 release!
There are still a few things we plan to work on before the final release but we anticipate this will be the last beta for the 2.5.0 release train. So we'd greatly appreciate as much testing as possible before we get the first RC ready shortly. This release includes 39 bug fixes/improvements as outlined in the changelog: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12318123&version=12341721 Tag: https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf?p=groovy.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/GROOVY_2_5_0_BETA_3 Tag commit id: 1f5ba16e86ebc2ed9146aab13304e316c812a838 The artifacts to be voted on are located as follows (r25155).
