Dear users, dear developers,
I'm proud and happy to announce the release of Groovy 1.0 beta 8!
We've put a lot of energy to improve the stability and the user
experience. I hope you will like it!
A lot of issues were fixed, among the most important and interesting ones:
- groovyConsole and the streaming builders are back in the distribution
- lighter error messages in groovysh (no more huge stacktraces)
- a better experience with JDK 5.0
- no more memory leaks when evaluating thousands of scripts with GroovyShell
- MarkupBuilder can now generate <a href="groovy">stuff</a>
