Current Development Activities

Puneet

• I looked into the issues with NavigableMap being returned from getProperty
  • I need to plan out how to fix this without breaking current applications
  • It only happens when they specify that they want a Map
  • Team reviewed codebase to discover root of this issue and plan for a fix
• The Grails plugin portal is crashing a lot and at some point we need to take a look at that
  • David: All of the links in the plugin portal don't make sense. They are linking to spaces about Grails 3
  • Team discussed process for updating plugins in the GitHub repo
  • David: This isn't very friendly for new users. I don't like it
• Next I'll be exploring Groovy 4 with Grails 6
• I'm still working on the updates to Grails CLI and I'm not having any major issues there
• I'll be doing a GA release of Spring Security Core in the next day or two
• I'll look into where we are in Grails Core and do a patch release
• We'll update to Micronaut 3.3 in the next minor release

David

• Spring Reloaded is almost working with Java 11
• Asset pipeline 3.4.2 was released mostly with some updates for M1 Macs and Java 11
