This Week in Grails (2011-29)

Looks like last week was a bit of a fluke since this week was a lot busier than usual – 5 new plugins and 17 updated, and 22(!) jobs. I guess the vacations are over 🙂

The fifth Groovy & Grails eXchange was announced this week. It will be December 8th and 9th in London and the price is only £195 until August 30 so be sure to register early. I went two years ago and had a great time – I highly recommend going.

Groovy 1.8.1 and the first beta of 1.9 were released this week. There are a few Java 7 features implemented in 1.9, and 1.8 has more performance optimizations for primitives, plus other new features and bug fixes.
