[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-7505) Change In cast operator precedence

["Cédric Champeau (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7505?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14631155#comment-14631155 ] 

Cédric Champeau commented on GROOVY-7505:
-----------------------------------------

I don't expect that we rollback the change. After all it's a bugfix, so even if it is a breaking change, it means that the code was relying on a bug. The operator precedence is now the same as Java, which should be more natural.

However the decision is not definitive, so we don't close this ticket. if you think it should be rolled back in a dot release, feel free to start a thread on the dev@ list.
