Grails
Grails 4 Milestone 1 Released
Grails 4 represents a significant upgrade with the framework now rebased on top of an updated minimum set of dependencies including: Spring 5.1 Spring Boot 2.1 Java 8 Hibernate 5.4 Groovy 2.5
In addition, Micronaut is now included as part of Grails as the parent ApplicationContext, allowing any Micronaut feature, whether it be the declarative HTTP client or the Kafka client, to be used within a Grails 4 application.
Startup time and memory consumption have also been optimized and improved significantly over previous releases, thanks to changes in both Spring Boot 2.1 and also the migration of some of Grails' internal infrastructure wiring to Micronaut
Upgrading to Grails 4 Documentation
I wrote a documentation section about the steps involved to upgrade to Grails 4. Still a work in progress.
Gradle
Gradle Goodness: Only Show All Tasks In A Group
To get an overview of all Gradle tasks in our project we need to run the tasks task. Since Gradle 5.1 we can use the --group option followed by a group name. Gradle will then show all tasks belonging to the group and not the other tasks in the project.

Micronaut leverages Jackson for binding and responding JSON. I am myself getting up to speed with Jackson and this is a link to bookmark.
