[VOTE] Release Apache Groovy 5.0.4

Dear development community,

I am happy to start the VOTE thread for a Groovy 5.0.4 release!

This release includes 23 bug fixes/improvements as outlined in the changelog:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12318123&version=12356546

Tag: https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=groovy.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/GROOVY_5_0_4
Tag commit id: 20b2daf83b5a8127219932bcbd47b829fe29cf5f

The artifacts to be voted on are located as follows (r81934).
Source release: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/groovy/5.0.4/sources
Convenience binaries:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/groovy/5.0.4/distribution

Release artifacts are signed with a key from the following file:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/groovy/KEYS

Please vote on releasing this package as Apache Groovy 5.0.4.

Reminder on ASF release approval requirements for PMC members:
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval
Hints on validating checksums/signatures (but replace md5sum with sha256sum):
https://www.apache.org/info/verification.html

The vote is open for the next 72 hours and passes if a majority of at
least three +1 PMC votes are cast.

[ ] +1 Release Apache Groovy 5.0.4
[ ]  0 I don't have a strong opinion about this, but I assume it's ok
[ ] -1 Do not release Apache Groovy 5.0.4 because...

Here is my vote:

+1 (binding)

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Release Apache Groovy 5.0.4

Posted by Paul King <pa...@asert.com.au>.
Just a quick update. Both 5.0.4 and 4.0.30 are released "on the ASF
side". You can find the binary and source releases in the normal
places and the artifacts are at:

https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/releases/org/apache/groovy

But for some reason, they haven't synced with Maven Central as of yet.
I have submitted an issue with Sonatype and will hold off sending the
release announcements until I hear back.

Cheers, Paul.

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Groovy 5.0.4

Posted by James Daugherty via dev <de...@groovy.apache.org>.
I'm trying to test the 4.0.30 build with Grails & the project that had
the concurrency problems, but I can't find the binary artifact.  Is it
possible the staging repo could be closed so it's accessible from
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/groovy/groovy/
?  The release step obviously wouldn't occur until the vote finishes
...
