This Week in Grails (2011-29)
Sunday, July 24th, 2011Looks 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.
If you want to keep up with these “This Week in Grails” posts you can access them directly via their category link or in an RSS reader with the feed
