Re: Apache Grails on Apache Groovy 5

https://github.com/apache/grails-core/pull/15557 has been updated and I 
think we are there from a merge-ability standpoint for Groovy 5 in Grails 8.

There are some smaller open items, with functional workarounds in place. 
Most have Groovy JIRA tickets.

Thanks for all the hard work to get this ready.
