Many issues are fixed in Groovy 2.5.0, but some of them still exists in
2.4.x, e.g. some critical STC issues, etc.

In addition, 2.4.x will stop maintenance soon, so we encourage all users
upgrade Groovy to 2.5.x.

Cheers,
Daniel.Sun

Thanks, I see the notes. Mostly looks like new features. Are there any benefits to upgrading if not taking advantage of the new features yet (that is, does it improve existing code)? I see some improvements for example around the Optional usage, although if we were using Optional now it appears it would be broken, so it’s more of a pre-emptive bug fix. It also seems to be beneficial to upgrade to prevent the possibility of inserting new changes that would break upon upgrade, such as relying (or not) on the linked list behavior changes.

We still need to do some updates between now and GA release.

Is there a page summarizing the changes since 2.4, to evaluate if/where any issues are with backwards compatibility?

Nice. Is there a public snapshot or even a Jitpack build I can use to test
it ?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Groovy 2.5.0-rc-3 released

I've spotted a new compilation error with 2.5.0-rc-3.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8595

Also the nextflow joint build is stuck on 2.5.0-rc-1
<http://ci.groovy-lang.org/viewLog.html?buildId=50015&buildTypeId=JointBuilds_Nextflow_Groovy25xJointBuild&tab=buildLog>,
that makes it useless. Could anybody update it to use the latest 2.5
snapshot? (I guess it's enough to update the variable CI_GROOVY_VERSION).

Cheers,
Paolo
