I'm pleased to announce the second release candidate for Groovy 1.0.

Groovy 1.0 RC-2 is a bug-fix release. We focused our time on correcting bugs encountered in RC-1 and older bugs related to bytecode issues. Like in the previous releases, some better compilation error messages have been improved as well.

We would like you to try out this Release Candidate and to report as soon as possible all the potential problems you could encounter. The final release is now really imminent, and you should expect it before new year's eve, or in the very beginning of January. So please help us test this release on your own projects, so that we can deliver the best possible final release!

You can find the latest groovy-all jar here:
http://dist.groovy.codehaus.org/jars/groovy-all-1.0-RC-02.jar

And the distribution here:
http://dist.groovy.codehaus.org/distributions/groovy-1.0-RC-02.zip

This RC-2 release is the gift of the Groovy team to its users, and we're wishing you all a Groovy Christmas and a happy New Year with your beloved ones.
