Grails 1.1 beta 1 is out, and the release notes give a nice snapshot of some of the sweet new features coming.

In particular I’m looking forward to using:

• read-only GORM objects
• the new data binding mechanism that lets you limit the properties bound without using the clunky excludes list of bindData (hey… I can call it clunky, it was my creation!).
• global plugins and automatic download/install of plugins

There will be more treats in store before it hits RC too, I’m sure.
