Changelog for Groovy 4.0.7

Bug

[GROOVY-10105] - Groovy Shell having trouble evaluating script

[GROOVY-10789] - Collected TupleConstructor causes internal compiler error
[GROOVY-10790] - Immutable fails with defaults=true
[GROOVY-10791] - STC doesn't find method reference on superclass
[GROOVY-10807] - STC seems to lose type information through method references
[GROOVY-10813] - Cannot create method reference for print or println
[GROOVY-10815] - SC: Access is forbidden for property-style access to getProperties() default Groovy method
[GROOVY-10819] - Meta class registry corruption leads to stack overflow
[GROOVY-10820] - SC: static choice of Class vs Object extension for Type dot name
[GROOVY-10844] - STC mis-tracks generics in type hierarchy
[GROOVY-10846] - Unable to resolve field from a bounded type parameter
[GROOVY-10847] - Crash with arity generics parameter mismatch during the instruction selection phase
[GROOVY-10854] - record cannot be adjusted by @RecordType annotation
[GROOVY-10857] - Compiler enter infinite loop when compiling circular meta annotations
[GROOVY-10859] - Regression in invoking method references to methods from List class when called on empty lists
