Grails 2.4 发布，新的GORM MongoDB 和 Hibernate 支持

今天我们很高兴地宣布 Grails2.4 版本发布。这是 2.x 版本的最终版本，并包括了一些显著的更新。

最重要的是 Grails 2.4.x 搭载了Spring IO platform关键部分，包括 Groovy 2.3 和 Spring 4.0.5。

发布的亮点

除了列入Spring和Groovy的最新版本，还有一些关键的新功能在这个版本中，包括：

• Standalone GORM & GSP - Yes, GORM for Hibernate 4 and GORM for MongoDB can both be used outside of Grails in a Spring Boot application or Groovy script.
• Static Compilation - Using extensions to Groovy's static compilation features, it is now possible to statically compile many interactions with the Grails framework, including dynamic finders.
• Asset Pipeline Plugin - Grails 2.4 replaces the previous Resources plugin with the new Asset Pipeline plugin for managing static assets (CSS, JavaScript etc.).
• GORM Subqueries - GORM has been enhanced, with extensive support for correlated subqueries.
• New Maven Plugin - The Maven plugin has been rewritten to use Aether for dependency resolution and now works with multiple versions of Grails.

There is a more comprehensive guide to all the new features available on the Grails website.

Grails 3.0

The focus of our work now shifts to Grails 3.0, which will be a reimagination of the framework you know and love.

Grails 3.0 will be based on Spring Boot, feature advanced Gradle support and the ability to build a range of application types from Micro services to traditional web applications.
