New GR8 releases

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

We’ve been fortunate to have two new releases in Groovy world recently – Groovy 1.7 and Grails 1.2. I presume many/most of you already knew about these, but in case you didn’t, now you know. :)  Thanks Groovy and Grails teams for your continued gr8 work!

I’m personally looking forward to the ‘named query’ support in Grails 1.2 (I’ve got a Grails 1.1 project I’ll be upgrading and refactoring soon!) and the improved memory usage in Grails 1.2 will be welcome as well.
