------------------------------------------------------------

The {{groovy-dateutil}} module was made optional in 2.5 since the {{java.time}} classes (JSR-310) are now generally preferred (and are included by default). If you just add that module to your project dependencies you will also get the old behavior.

See the first bullet point under breaking changes in the release notes:
