Groovy 3.0.20

What's new in this version:

Fixed:
- STC does not support self bounded types
- Closure with type argument inference does not work as expected
- STC misses type checks on default arguments
- STC: cannot combine use-variance with bounded polymorphism
- STC fails to substitute type variable in the presence of the diamond operator and a function call
- Wrong inference when using ternary operator with closure and variable
- Wrong inference when using ternary operator with lambdas
- SC incorrectly reports "access to Object#field" is forbidden
- STC is unable to call parameterized function
- STC: error for map*.value assignment
- STC: missing error for map*.key assignment
- STC: incorrect type inference for list, map, etc. with lower bound generics
- STC changes the inferred type of variable in the presence of flow typing
- SC: IncompatibleClassChangeError when calling interface default method from non-public interface
- Groovy 4 can not compile super.foo with generic interface (or trait) method
- STC: fix support for unbounded wildcard references to self-bounded type parameters
- Type mismatch when encountering unconditional flow typing and null
- STC: closure parameter type inference for raw type that is iterable over type parameter
- STC fails to compile AssertJ fluent API expression
- STC crashes when combining use-site variance with bounded polymorphism
- LUB does not work properly when mixing type parameter names and using wildcards
- Fail to infer the type argument when using nested diamond operator
- Static Type Checking selects wrong method for abstract method call check
- Patterns conditionally created using pattern operator ~ are cast to String/GString
- STC rejects program when passing method reference in parameterized function
- CompileStatic: cannot implicitly call double setter with BigDecimal literal
- STC NPE when using Collectors.toMap() with a generic result
- STC: empty map (or list) literal does not type check like emptyMap()
- Class parsing does not set erasure of type param with bounds
- Fix edge cases for SecureASTCustomizer
- Code that causes Groovy Compiler Crash
- STC: false positive for Class method called from static context
- ambiguous method error for tap on null receiver
- XmlUtil escapeControlCharacters escapes control characters 0-30 instead of 0-31
- Regression in STC generics solution
- Stackoverflow error when calling super from overridden method
- Compilation fails when accessing getter with shortcut notation on Java class
- Cannot assign value of type java.util.List<java.lang.String> to variable of type java.lang.String[]
- Sort methods that accept a comparator should accept Comparator<? super T> (fix type checker ability to cope with super in DGM methods)
- STC: floating-point literals no longer accepted as args to method with double parameter
- List literal type inference does not take its context into account
- @CompileStatic ignores declared type and forces a cast when inside a closure
- BigDecimal to primitive conversion not working
- STC infers too-narrow bounds for inline map
- Cannot call super when overriding an interface default method
- Wildcards with a lower bound fail static type checking

Dependency upgrade:
- Bump ivy to 2.5.2 (includes CVE-2022-46751)
- Bump ant version to 1.10.14
- Bump jansi to 2.4.1
- Bump javaparser to 3.25.6
- Bump log4j2 version to 2.22.0 (test dependency)

Improved:
- STC: cannot infer list or map type for method return
- "super" invocations of abstract methods should be caught at compile time with static compilation enabled
- STC: infer closure/lambda parameter types for return expression
- STC: assign method pointer to SAM-type
- Improve coercion / implicit cast of map literals for @CompileStatic
- Improve type inference for hash map -> Map<?, ?>
