Yes, RC-4 and not RC-3, as we’re still having some issues with our build and deployment infrastructure which made us have to skip a bit.

Second release candidate of Groovy 2.3

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.

You can have a look at the JIRA release notes: https://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10242&version=20357
