Graeme and the Grails community have been hard at work lately getting Grails ready for a 1.0 release, and the latest release candidate, RC2 is quite indicative of their labors.  There are some impressive additions to this release, including a initial pass at a full set of reference documentation, Spring 2.5, and over 140 bug fixes and improvements.  This is truly a herculean effort, and I can’t wait to start testing our plugins in RC2. 

You can check get the latest and greatest, as always, at grails.org.
