There are also some quality of life improvements from community contributors, including better support for closures in JavaScript execution (see PR 275 <https://github.com/apache/groovy-geb/pull/275>). The biggest breaking change is that the group in the maven coordinates for artifacts will change from org.gebish to org.apache.groovy.geb. The second biggest breaking change is that Java 11 is the minimum target version for the compiled artifacts.
