Second beta for Groovy 2.3
Hot on the heels of our first beta for Groovy 2.3, here’s already a second one!
We’ve received a lot of feedback, which is really awesome! Thanks a lot to all those who put the first beta to its pace and reported their findings.
The most important change in this release is that the groovy.jar no longer depends on ASM and Antlr.
It’s the first release ever of Groovy where the groovy.jar
itself is jajar-ed like the groovy-all
JAR, which means that the ASM and Antlr libraries are embeded (and translated to a different package) so that you don’t need to depend on those libraries in your projects, and run the risk of a version clash with other frameworks or libraries depending on differing versions.
