Two notes so far: 1) GROOVY-9966 was introduced to 2_5_X with this release. It is a pretty minor bug, but could be easily fixed if the release ends up being respun.
2) GROOVY-10159 was "fixed" in this release but it introduces a potentially more worrisome issue: public class Main { static final String foo = 1 + 1 static main(args) { print(foo) } } This class will print "11" not "2" due to the change in ExpressionUtils#transformBinaryConstantExpression From: Paul King <pa...@asert.com.au> Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2021 6:07 AM To: Groovy_Developers <dev@groovy.apache.org> Subject: [EXT] [VOTE] Release Apache Groovy 2.5.15 External Email: Use caution with links and attachments.
