Grails 1.1RC Liberado !!!

Pessoal, a versão RC(Release Candidate) do Grails 1.1 foi liberado, só estavam esperando a liberação final do groovy 1.6. Eu já estava usando as versões betas da versão 1.1 e está cada vez melhor. O projeto está realmente amadurecendo e, acho que com a versão final liberada(até o final de Fevereiro), o Grails vai dar uma grande guinada em termos de adoção. Segue abaixo o anúncio de Graeme Rocher, chefe de desenvolvimento Grails.

Hi all,

Hot on the heels of Groovy 1.6, we’re pleased to announce the availability of Grails 1.1 RC1. It can be downloaded from the usual spot (http://grails.org/Download) and as usual there are comprehensive
release notes available (http://www.grails.org/1.1-RC1+Release+Notes).

The main features are now stabilized and include:

- Support for Ant+Ivy and Maven builds
- Standalone GORM
- New plugin features: global plugins, transitive plugin resolution, local repositories etc.
- Spring namespace support
- Dramatically improved performance
- The Testing framework.
- Many new features and incremental improvements to core Grails features such as GORM and the MVC layer

At this stage we really encourage people to try the release out and report any issues. If there are a significant number of changes we will of course do a second release candidate, however we are reliant
on the community for feedback. In particular if plugin developers could try the release against your plugins to ensure compatibility that would be of great assistance. As usual any problems found should be reported to JIRA:

Enjoy!
