Oh, that's great. I could not find those release notes. Perhaps they
could be linked from the groovy homepage and from the download page.
They answer almost all my questions and are probably useful for others.
In short (for my needs), lots of nice things but nothing quite as
potentially disruptive as a the move to the parrot parser was for 2->3,
so the upgrade should be fairly safe.

You'd be better off looking at the release notes rather than the changelogs:
https://groovy-lang.org/releasenotes/groovy-4.0.html
But I'll try to summarise the release notes here shortly.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi team
Thanks for all your hard work on groovy. Would you be able to describe
in summary the big picture of moving from version 3 to 4.
Groovy 3 appeared to be an important change largely because of the new
parrot parser. However looking at the giant list of version 4 changes
[1] is hard since most of these changes already landed in version 3.
What should we be looking out for in our testing of version 4?
