Groovy 1.8 naht: RC2 erschienen

Die Veröffentlichung von Groovy 1.8 steht vor der Tür – und der zweite Release-Kandidat zum Testen bereit. Gleichzeitig hat das Groovy-Team auch Update Nr. 9 für Groovy 1.7 vorgelegt.

Sowohl in Groovy 1.8 RC2 als auch in Groovy 1.7.9 soll es vor allem um Fehlerbehebung gegangen sein (siehe Release Notes unten). Groovy-Entwickler Guillaume Laforge teilt mit, dass, sollten keine gravierenden Fehler mehr auftauchen, der RC2 der letzte vor dem finalen Wurf in einigen Wochen sein wird.
