[ANN] Groovy 2.0.4 is out

[Guillaume Laforge]

Hi all,

The Groovy development team's just *released Groovy 2.0.4*, a bug fix for
our Groovy 2.0 branch.

It fixes some important issues we've had with generics with the stub
generator, as well as several fixes related to the static type checking and
static compilation features. We also worked on the recompilation issues
with the GroovyScriptEngine.

You can download Groovy 2.0.4 here:

The artifacts are not yet on Maven Central, but will shortly.
Also, the online JavaDoc and GroovyDoc are still being uploaded as I write
this, but will hopefully be online in a few hours.

You can have a look at the issues fixed in this release on JIRA:
https://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10242&version=18777

If you're curious why we've jumped from 2.0.2 to 2.0.4, skipping 2.0.3,
it's because of some issues with the release of 2.0.3 which I had
mistakenly built with JDK 6 instead of JDK 7, which ruled out all our
invoke dynamic support. So we quickly moved to 2.0.4.

We'll certainly also release a 1.8.9 soon, especially for the stub
generator fixes which might be useful for those affected with the issues
we've fixed.

Keep on groovy'ing!
