Hi folks, With Groovy 3 final release approaching we should think a bit more about our roadmap for Groovy 4. At the moment, there are a few Jiras and ad-hoc discussions that have taken place but it's a little hard to find it all. I've created a draft release notes here:
http://groovy-lang.org/releasenotes/groovy-4.0.html Feel free to suggest changes. We can spawn off any additional Jiras and GEPs as needed. There will also be some knock on for tools and related libraries, e.g. we are still finessing Groovy 3.0 to work well with the next release of Spock and as one other example, Codenarc uses groovy.util.XmlSlurper but that changes to groovy.xml.XmlSlurper under Groovy 4, so will need to change (both XmlSlurper classes are in Groovy 3). So, there will no doubt be more we can do to make life easier for tool support or we can spawn off issues for those respective projects if needed as well. And finally, thanks for all your great contributions as we start this new year. Cheers, Paul.
