Hi folks, I think Groovy 5 is ready for RC1. The new REPL still needs some refinement but is in good shape. We have some upstream PRs that will fix some of the remaining issues, and some have already been merged. We have workarounds in place for most things in any case.
Let me know if you think there is anything else that needs doing; otherwise, I'll kick off another release in a few days. Cheers, Paul.
