This Week in Grails (2012-14)

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

Grails 2.0.3 was released this week to address some issues with the 2.0.2 release, in particular being too aggressive with the updated parameter binding fixes. Check out the release notes for the details.

Interested in taking the SpringSource Groovy and Grails course? Check out the course info and updated schedule. The course is currently available in Columbia MD, Chicago IL, San Francisco CA, Paris, London, Brussels, Bangalore, and online. I wouldn’t mind teaching the class in Bangalore 🙂

Tomcat 7.0.27 was released this week and includes support for the WebSocket protocol (RFC6455). That looks pretty cool – you might be seeing a blog post from me on that at some point.

GR8Conf EU is approaching – register now to get the early bird price before the price goes up on April 15th. Check out the preliminary agenda and the updated information page about the conference venue and nearby hotels.
