The Groovy team is happy to announce the **release of Groovy 2.3.0-rc-2**. This should be the last release candidate until the final release in a couple days.  

This release ironed out a few bugs, for instance in generics handling, or made the groovydoc tool aware of traits.  

Note that the latest fixes in the traits support introduce a binary incompatibility compared to the previous release candidate.
