Re: [VOTE] [GEB] Release Apache Geb 8.0.1

Hi All,

+1 (non-binding)

I'm using MacOS Sequoia 15.7.1 on M2 Chip...

For the source I checked:

* sha256 and sha512 checksums

* valid signature

* NOTICE and LICENSE files present.

* Opened as project in IntelliJ 2025.2

* checked licenses with: gradlew rat

* built from source (and published locally) using: gradlew 
publishToMavenLocal

Used successfully from local maven in my Geb test project.

For the staged jars:

I downloaded the staged jars from geb-core and geb-spock and verified 
the source jar META-INF dirs contain LICENSE and NOTICE files.

I also noted that the Nexus validation had passed.

Best regards,

Carl
