Groovy 3.0.9

What's new in this version:

Fixed:
- TracingInterceptor throws NullPointerException if arguments contains a null argument
- STC: method call with GString elements in list/array has different error from assignment
- STC: NamedParams error for method call argument
- Compiler crash when encountering function reference on nested class
- NPE in static compiler
- STC infers Closure instead of SAM for method references
- Inferred parameter type of lambda expression for multi-dimensions array is not correct
- Static compiler incorrectly typechecks extension modules
- groovyc does not perform unboxing on Character type
- Class.isCase() documentation does not clarify that Class.isCase(SomeClass) is false, or why
- STC does not perform boxing on chars when encountering assignment and function call
- CLONE - Better propagation of InterruptedException (additional cases)
- Unexpected behaviour when the return type of a closure is a type parameter
- Type checking fails when calling trait method using indirect SelfType relation
- SC: runtime error for default argument call expression
- STC error for call to static trait method from closure
- Cannot assign null to a variable with a bounded generic type
- compiler crash during canonicalization
- StackOverflowError in STC
- @AnnotationCollector does not work with JUnit 5
- Wrong cast in stubs generated
- XmlUtil.serialize() Emoji bug
- NPE in InnerClassVisitor for non-static inner class CCE within two AICs
- Compilation failure: ClassCastException
- RootLoader cannot be set as system class loader in Java 12+
- STC: instanceof and for-in variable type
- Groovy 3 AST for annotated fields reports wrong lastLineNumber if field not initialized
- Different treatment of property expressions in closures from 2.4 to 2.5
- File.withWriter and Path.withWriter are inconsistent
- NoSuchMethodError during static field inlining is not caught, unlike NoSuchFieldException
- "PermittedSubclasses requires ASM9" when importing enum on Java 17
- "Cannot find matching method" with specific class hierarchy and static compilation
- java.lang.VerifyError using property inside enum's constant
- ASTTest cannot reference types from transform classpath
- Static scope error for variable in non-static method of static inner class
 Seems like ClosureMetaClass#invokeMethod does not respect the interceptable nature of the owner/delegate
 Expression underlying a spread map expression is evaluated twice
 GroovyInterceptable (AOP) not working with closures
 Incorrect resolve of category property for String
 groovyc ant task generates invalid stub (picks wrong constructor) and fails in Java 1.7 compilation
 asType(Collection col, Class clazz) ingnores exceptions in clazz constructor
 Stack overflow between WideningCategories lowestUpperBound and parameterizeLowestUpperBound
 Map-style constructor call, inner class and static compilation
 void tail calls in closures break @CompileStatic type inference
 @CompileStatic, generic with 'extends' bug: Expected parameter of type ? but got A
 CompileStatic fails with Guava Multimap#asMap
 Putting key on generic Map fails when using CompileStatic
 STC: explicit declared variable type ignored in favor of assigned value type(s)
 STC: call to static method fails with incompatible generics error
 STC: Cannot find matching method when using Generics
 @TypeChecked: Closure<String> no longer compatible with Closure<GString> argument
 Wrong type inference when passing null
 STC: cast or coerce to functional interface fails to infer param types of closure/lambda

- STC sometimes requires explicit closure to SAM cast inside of another closure
- Groovy Console: Support JDKs without macOS Runtime Support for Java
- IndexedProperty AST transform should only provide the getter for immutable fields
- Groovy 3 compilation errors are less accurate than Groovy 2
- Eliminate ambiguities while parsing non-static class creator
- Provide a mechanism for users to enable Antlr4's SLL (fast but only simple) mode

New Feature:
- Provide a helper factory class to assist with porting

Task:
 Prepare for bintray/jcenter sunset
