Take the 2-minute tour ×  What functionality and/or bug fixes
does Groovy 1.9-beta-3 have that Groovy 1.8.2 doesn't have?  The
release notes for Groovy 1.9-beta-3 ( http://jira.codehaus.org/s
ecure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10242&version=17495 ) and
Groovy 1.8.2 ( http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?
projectId=10242&version=17494 ) look EXACTLY the same.  The only
way 1.9-beta-3 looks different to 1.8.2 are these syntax
additions introduced in beta-1:    • underscores in number
literals: 1_000_000_000   • binary literals: 0b01010101   •
catch multiple exceptions at once with multicatch: catch
(IOException | NullPointerException e)  I can't find any other
differences in any release notes or announcements. Am I
overlooking something important or are these version lines
intended to be roughly the same?  share|improve this question
