Dependency upgrade

Improvement

  • [GROOVY-6954] - map.foo = "bar" not optimized by the static compiler
  • [GROOVY-8729] - Eliminate the additional resolving phase of compilation for better performance
  • [GROOVY-10233] - Sealed classes should generate native class information for JDK17+
  • [GROOVY-10252] - @Final should have a boolean attribute to disable
  • [GROOVY-10275] - Align intersect which takes a closure/comparator ordering to be the same as other languages. *
  • [GROOVY-10279] - Support native record
  • [GROOVY-10281] - Add compiler option for logging class generation
  • [GROOVY-10284] - AnnotationCollector should not collect @Incubating which is a meta-annotation in Groovy
  • [GROOVY-10286] - Set target bytecode by JDK
  • [GROOVY-10287] - The Groovy Console About window could list Java/OS versions along with the Groovy version
  • [GROOVY-10295] - STC: cannot infer list or map type for method return
  • [GROOVY-10297] - Refine @ToString and @EqualsAndHashCode generation of fallback methods
  • [GROOVY-10298] - Refine records to not use system properties
  • [GROOVY-10321] - @ToString could provide annotation attributes to control further the format of the created toString

  • [GROOVY-10340] - Refine sealed classes to not use system properties

New Feature

  • [GROOVY-5450] - Final field assignment check on static compilation
