-plain - GROOVY-5169 GROOVY-10449
- Fields with a public modifier were not returned with MetaClassImpl#getProperties() in groovy 3, but are now.
NOTE: This document is a draft and the explanations are only highlights and will be expanded further prior to release of 7.0.

- Hello Exterminator, Good by bugs! Lot's of things started working... and working well! For instance, use of controller namespaces now work seemlessly.
- Bootstrap 5.3.3 support. Saffolding and Fields tags now optionally support boostrap classes.
- Priortization of AutoConfiguration over bean overriding.
- Lightweight, Removal of numerous dependencies.
- grails-bom overhaul for keeping depedencies up to date and in sync.
- g:form now automatically provides csrf protection when Spring Security CSRF is enabled.
- Massive decoupling of dependencies and cleanup between modules. SiteMesh dependencies are no longer compiled into controllers fused between numerous modules. SiteMesh isn't even required to use Grails!
- SiteMesh ahs been upgrade to SiteMesh 3!
- Completely up to date modern stack that has been optimized for easier future transitions.
- GSP can now be used OUTSIDE of Grails! see grails-boot
