Grails 1.1 is finally here!

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Today is a big day for everyone interested in Groovy and Grails. Following quickly on the release of Groovy 1.6, today Grails 1.1 has been released. This is a major milestone for the framework and I can’t wait to get my hands dirty trying out the new features.

Nat Pryce wrote a program to find out how developers feel about their projects. He extracts code comments and feeds them into Synesketch. Nat has even posted results from a number of different open source (and a couple nameless closed source) projects.

I find it really interesting. I wonder if it truly correlates to the health of the project or the morale of the project team.
