Grid now displays public static fields of object
I recently upgraded from 5.2.5 to 5.3, which I must say was very straightforward. :)
A minor issue we've just noticed is, that Grid now shows as columns any public static fields of the objects listed by the grid. Is this by design (a change in spec) or a bug?
The workaround is simple, simply use t:exclude, but i don't see the value in automatically including static fields, as they have the same value for each row!

This was intentional, but perhaps needs to be highlighted better in
the release notes.

It is true; perhaps there should be a way for Grid to exclude static
fields; basically, it sees normal properties, public instance fields,
and public static fields as properties.
You can add @NonVisual to the static fields to hide them from the Grid as well.
There's a few important use cases where being able to reference a
public static field is very useful in templates; it is unfortunate
that this causes an annoyance with Grid.
