[groovy-dev] ASTTransformations in 1.5.7 ?


Does anyone know if ASTTransformations and the new binding (SwingBuilder)
features will be available in 1.5.7+ ?

I just upgraded Graphicsbuilder to 1.6-beta-2-SNAPSHOT and noticed those
features are not ported to the 1.5.x branch. I can live with things as they
currently stand, it only means GraphicsBuilder will have a strict dependency
in Groovy 1.6+, also people wanting the new binding syntax will require 1.6+
onwards.

hmm... originally we thought of that as a 1.6 feature only. Normally we 
backport bug fixes, but not new language constructs.

I concur, it should be 1.6 only.  IMHO dot-dot is the wrong place to add game-changing features like AST annotations.  I wrote these with those restrictions in mind.

It may be time to start prodding a 1.6 release, because the roadmap released earlier in the year placed us working on 1.8 at this point.  But this would require a certian level of performance in Grails since that is the meat and potatoes of groovy use currently.
