Request for releases

I am aware that we've just had a release batch, but I would like to request
another release to include Eric's graciously quick fix for GROOVY-10711.
This bug resulted in the static compiler's silently failing to use
`asBoolean()` methods defined directly on classes, which can result in data
corruption.

Yes, I'll look at expediting a release but it will likely be a few
days away since there are a couple of other bug fixes we'd like
included. I'll add some more info into the Jira issue as soon as I
can.

Given the potential severity of this bug (i.e., conditional checks will
compile fine but use the wrong logic), I would suggest a release now, but I
of course am not the one who has to do the paperwork. ;-) I'm aware of this
problem, but most Groovy users wouldn't be, and it affects at least 3.x and
4.x.

I was planning to perhaps do a 4.0.5 release not too far away (as in
maybe 1-2 weeks time). Were you wanting faster than that or also a
3.0.13?
