Groovy 2.4 发布，支持使用Groovy编写Android应用

本次发布中的最大亮点是支持Android，允许开发人员完全使用Groovy编写Android应用程序，用更少的样板代码比原始的Java。 

该团队还专注于在性能方面的各种改进，更小的字节码生成，和内存消耗。

这次发布中其它值得关注的方面：

• traits can use the @SelfType annotation with static type checking enabled to restrict to what classes traits can be applied
• GDK methods improvements
• some refinements to existing AST transformations
• further Groovysh improvements as well.
