Grails Diary - Week 21 in 2015

25 May 2015

Graime Rocher recently started at OCI after a bit of (well deserved) time off. I am convinced that Graeme and Jeff joining OCI with their Grails sponsorship is the best thing that has happened to Grails in a very long time (I also love Grails 3, and that is a very close 2nd). Being in a company that uses Grails will with guarantee bring valuable feedback. OCI is now also on the official list of sponsors at grails.org, and the list of issues scheduled for the next bugfix release of Grails can be found here. It is also planned to migrate all Jira tickets to github issues.

Eric MacAdie has finished up the Groovy Validators; Grails like validators for plain Groovy implemented using annotations. The project can be found on Github, and is so far just a jar to build and include yourself. This blog post outlines the usage.

The Grooscript project has had a busy week preparing for GR8conf Eu, and released both version 1.1.0 and version 1.1.1, including Gradle plugins. It is now possible to generate Require.js modules, used for to manage all javascript files and dependencies.

Ken Kousin has joined forces with O'Reilly and the product is a video course on Groovy: "Groovy Fundamentals: Getting Started with Groovy Scripts, POGOs, and Collections"

Remember the archive for the new Groovy mailing list can be found via http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/#groovy.incubator.
