Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Groovy 4.0.0-rc-1 Released

Hi team

Thanks for all your hard work on groovy. Would you be able to describe 
in summary the big picture of moving from version 3 to 4.

Groovy 3 appeared to be an important change largely because of the new 
parrot parser. However looking at the giant list of version 4 changes 
[1] is hard since most of these changes already landed in version 3.

What should we be looking out for in our testing of version 4?
