Update Notes

This release restores dynamic scaffolding as a feature. To use it requires the 3.1.0 version of the scaffolding plugin to be in compile scope in build.gradle:

 compile "org.grails.plugins:scaffolding:3.1.0"

Groovy Upgrade

Grails 3.0.4 ships with Groovy 2.4.4 which includes some changes in behavior that may affect some applications. The following JIRA issues describe the changes in behavior.

• https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7505
• https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7509

Change In JSON Behavior

Prior to 2.5.1 something like JSON.parse("{'myList':null}").myList would evaluate to JSONObject.Null because of an implementation leak. In 2.5.1 this has been fixed to evaluate to null.
