Changelog for Groovy 2.4.3

Bug

• [GROOVY-6637] - CompileStatic when accessing parent class static properties produces access forbidden message with incorrect line number info
• [GROOVY-6757] - Explicit type hints are not respected
• [GROOVY-7307] - Narrower generic type not taken into account when calling another generic method
• [GROOVY-7316] - CompileStatic cannot infer generic return type
• [GROOVY-7355] - VerifyError if a closure shared variable of a foreach style loop is used with @CompileStatic
• [GROOVY-7356] - Compiler internal error if inside an optimized foreach loop and the body contains a try/catch block
• [GROOVY-7357] - Optimized foreach loops should perform a null check
• [GROOVY-7358] - Optimized foreach loops should handle "continue" properly
• [GROOVY-7359] - CompileStack#removeVar: tried to remove a temporary variable with index 2 in wrong order
• [GROOVY-7361] - VerifyError when private variable is used in synchronized block
• [GROOVY-7364] - Invalid type inference with a generic method / return type and optional parameter

Improvement

• [GROOVY-6123] - Cannot use @CompileStatic with loop over Enumeration
• [GROOVY-6240] - static type checker cannot infer type of for loop variable from map
