We're targeting the release of Groovy 1.8.6 for Thursday 9th.

We'll create a release branch on Tuesday, to freeze the code, and release a snapshot in our snapshot repository, for those who want to test this snapshot with their respective projects, tools and frameworks.

If you've got a few things in the pipeline, this is the time to see if you want to integrate that in 1.8.6 before the release.

Thanks for your attention and happy coding
