This Week in Grails (2012-41)

I didn’t have time to do a post last week since I was getting ready for SpringOne 2GX 2012 which will be this week. Should be another great conference this year, I’m sure there will be a lot of buzz on Twitter.

Groovy 2.0.5 was released this week.

Groovy project tech lead Jochen “blackdrag” Theodorou has published two blog posts this week, Owner, Delegate and (implicit) this in an Open Block and Open Blocks and MOP 2.

Be sure to vote for your favorite web framework in the InfoQ Top 20 Web Frameworks for the JVM poll.

Spring Tool Suite and Groovy/Grails Tool Suite 3.1.0 were released this week.

Spock 0.7 was released this week. Looks like a lot of cool new features.
