1.11.0

Bugs

None

Enhancements

• Change JDK compatibility check to also account for Java 16.
• Some tweaks for Groovy 4 (most notably, invokedynamic is enabled by default for Groovy 4 and cannot be disabled).
• New parameter (attachGroovyDocAnnotation) to enable attaching GroovyDoc annotation.
• New parameter (parallelParsing) to enable parallel parsing (enabled by default with Groovy 4).
• Remove previewFeatures parameter from stub generation goals, since it's not used there.

Potentially breaking changes

• If you were using the previewFeatures parameter without also including a compilation goal that would make that config valid, the build will fail because it's no longer a valid parameter. The fix would be to move that configuration to the appropriate execution(s).

Bugs

None

Enhancements

• Ability to override classes used to generate GroovyDoc (#91)
• Ability to override GStringTemplates used for GroovyDoc (#105)
• Ability to bind overridden properties (by binding project properties and/or session user properties) (#72)
• Ability to load a script when launching GroovyConsole (#165)

1.10.0

Bugs

None

Enhancements

• Change default GroovyDoc jar artifact type to javadoc, so its extension gets set to "jar" by the artifact handler instead of "groovydoc" by the default handler logic which uses the type for the extension in the case of unknown types (#151).

Potentially breaking changes

• GroovyDoc jars and test GroovyDoc jars will now be of type "javadoc" and have extension "jar".  Rather than type and extension "groovydoc".  If you do not wish to transition to this new behavior, set the new artifactType or testArtifactType property to "groovydoc" to revert to the previous behavior.

Notes

• While the artifact type of GroovyDoc jars has changed, the Maven classifier has not.  It remains "groovydoc", and you can still override that, just as before.

1.9.0

Bugs

None

Enhancements

• Support for Java 14 (#152).
• Support for Java 15 (#153).
• Add skipBytecodeCheck property and parameter, so if a Java version comes out the plugin doesn't recognize, you can use it without having to wait for an update.
• Use groovy.ant.AntBuilder instead of groovy.util.AntBuilder (if available).

Potentially breaking changes

• maven.groovydoc.skip property was renamed to skipGroovydoc so it matches the pattern of the other properties and won't seem to imply it's a property for a standard Maven plugin.
• Using groovy.ant.AntBuilder instead of groovy.util.AntBuilder (when available on classpath).
• Bundling Ant 1.10.7 instead of 1.10.5.
• Bundling Ivy 2.5.0 instead of 2.4.0.

Notes

• Now officially requires Java 7 instead of 6. This is not a breaking change, however, since this was actually already required because of plexus-classworlds. This just wasn't discovered until an enforcer rule was added to check bytecode versions of dependencies.

1.8.1

Bugs

• #147 Change sourcesets internal storage from HashSet to TreeSet, to avoid unpredictable Groovy compiler output on certain filesystems (thanks @marcphilipp!).
• #145 Disable system exits by default, to avoid potential thread safety issues.

Enhancements

None

Potentially breaking changes

• #145 Changes the default of not allowing System.exits to allowing them.

1.8.0

Bugs

• None

Enhancements

• Allow for invocation using only project classpath (#140). This is accomplished with <includeClasspath>PLUGIN_ONLY</includeClasspath>.

Potentially breaking changes

#140

If you were using useSharedClasspath before, you will need to replace it with new values. In most cases, this would be

usedSharedClasspath	includeClasspath
true	PROJECT_AND_PLUGIN
false	PROJECT_ONLY

Another notable difference is that when using this new configuration parameter in compile, compileTests, generateStubs, or generateTestStubs goals, now also uses the configurator to add the project dependencies to the classpath with the plugin's dependencies. Previously, this only happened in the goals other than the ones mentioned.

1.7.1

Bugs

• Fix that Groovy 3.0.0-alpha-5 was actually released as 3.0.0-beta-1 (#133)

Enhancements

• Support Java preview features (#125)
• New goals to create GroovyDoc jars (#124)
• Use the new "groovy.console.ui.Console" package, if available, fall back to "groovy.ui.Console" (#136)

1.7.0

Bugs

• Fix executing script from URL in Groovy older than 1.7.0 (#131)
• Use unique configuration names for every mojo, so goals don't conflict (#120)

Enhancements

• Support Java 13 (#122)

Potentially breaking changes

#120 corrects an inadvertent breaking change made in 1.6.0 with #31/#58. Here are those changes:

	1.5	1.6	1.7
addStubSources	stubsOutputDirectory	outputDirectory	stubsOutputDirectory
addTestStubSources	testStubsOutputDirectory	outputDirectory	testStubsOutputDirectory
compileTests/testCompile	testOutputDirectory	outputDirectory	testOutputDirectory
generateStubs	stubsOutputDirectory	outputDirectory	stubsOutputDirectory
generateTestStubs/testGenerateStubs	testStubsOutputDirectory	outputDirectory	testStubsOutputDirectory
groovydocTests/testGroovydoc	groovydocJavaSources	groovydocJavaSources	testGroovydocJavaSources
removeStubs	stubsOutputDirectory	outputDirectory	stubsOutputDirectory
removeTestStubs	testStubsOutputDirectory	outputDirectory	testStubsOutputDirectory

In addition, unused parameters have been removed:
addSources

• skipTests
• testSources

• skipTests
• sources
• testSources

addTestSources

• outputDirectory
• skipTests
• sources

addTestStubSources

• sources

shell

Lastly, addTestStubSources and removeTestStubs now respect the skipTests flag, for consistency.
