Groovy update

[john renfrew]

Do you have any schedule for updating and moving to Groovy 1.7.5 or later any time soon??

[Jesse Barnum]

Hi John, what's new in 1.75 that is important for you?

[john renfrew]

.tr() to translate

.minus() from array

.renameTo() for fileString

simple type arrays in a conditional context. If the array is empty we get false, otherwise true is returned. Support for byte, short, int, long, float, double, char and boolean

.intersect for maps

.stripMargin() from string using (char)

.toListString() collection string and truncate adding ...

.head() & .tail() for collection

.set() & .update() for Date and Calendar

.capitalize() obvious

.expand() tabs to a set number of spaces

all since 1.7.3 or later...

can think of lots of uses for all or most of these right now, some new functionality, some simplifying and 'groovying' up code

Thanks John, I'll add this to our feature list for a future ScriptMaster update. I don't have a timeline, but it isn't a lot of work to do, so I expect it will be in with the next batch of bug fixes.
