Today Graeme and the Grails team have released a significant new version of Grails: 0.6.
One of the more interesting bits added in this release is the addition rich conversation support (Spring Web Flow under the hood) called Grails Flow. Apart from Grails flow the release notes contain the following updates:
- Joint Groovy/Java Compilation
- Support for Spring scopes to allow scoped services
- Improved support for REST with automatic XML/JSON marshalling and RESTful URL mappings
- New Config DSL for configuration not possible by convention
- Refreshed scaffolding interface and branding
- Support for Sitemesh inline decorators
- Controllers can now call tag libraries as methods
- New GSP tags
- Massive improvements to speed of start-up time, unit tests and generation tools
Congratulations to the Grails team! I’ll be giving 0.6 a go in a short while!
