Grails 1.1 beta, the things I’m looking forward to…

Posted by: on Dec 2, 2008 | 5 Comments

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.
