Current Development Activities

Puneet

• Grails 5 RC1 has been released!
• There is a blog post coming shortly
• Looking into a few issues that were reported to see if they are due to Grails 5 or not
• Going to try updating Micronaut to 3 RC1 to see what impact that might have

James

• After GA, I propose that we update the CLI and the Guides to be more like the newer Micronaut infrastructure
  • Team discussed benefits of newer guide system and updated CLI
• I think we should look at the configuration options that are generated with fresh applications
  • I think that most of those options were done as to avoid breaking changes
  • There might be changes that we can make to the default values so that we can remove those options from the generated apps
  • Team discussed some example options that are required and ones that may not be

David

• I noticed that Grails 5 RC1 is not listed on the website yet. I would expect it to be listed in the milestone areas
  • Puneet: I think that is a manual update. I'll take a look at that

Open Discussion

• Team discussed profiles that may need to be updated
• Team discussed possibility of adding Groovy 3.0.8 in order to support JDK 16

Items for GA release
