Grails Diary - weeks 44-45 in 2016

15 November 2016

Increadibly enough, it is already a year since Groovy graduated as a top level project in the Apache Software Foundation. Besides this aniversary, this edition is packed with new releases and lots of references to blogs.

The Grails team have released versions 3.2.3 and 3.1.14. Noteable addition in the 3.2.3 version is the return of the Grails Wrapper, but quite a few minor issues have also been resolved.

The Ratpack team have resolved a memory leak issue, and recommends everone to ugrade to the new 1.4.4 release

The engineers at Gradle have been busy the last couple of weeks, and besides a couple of release candidates, they are ready with Gradle 3.2. The biggest news are the deprecation of the leftshift operator (<<) for defining tasks, incremental build improvements, faster IDE import, Ctrl-C not stopping the Daemon on first run and build dependents for native.

Ivan Lopez have updated the Grails Postgres Extension plugin, with a new cool feature, where criteria queries for Json data can be created using a pgJson object.

The Spock testing framework has a new release candidate for 1.1-rc-3. This release adds support for ByteBuddy as an alternative to cglib for generating mocks and stubs for classes.

Version 0.9 of GrooCSS has been released, with support for saturate, desaturate, fadein, fadeout, fade and more. Checkout more at groocss.org/
