We do need help working through the open items for Grails 7 and if you are interested in assisting, the following project and issues links contain a wide variety of open items from documentation to bugs that need to be reviewed and addressed. Pull requests, issues and discussions are all welcome and very helpful to driving the process towards release.

If I can help you get connected and started, feel free to DM me.

05/01/2025, 8:19 PMThe 7.0.0-SNAPSHOT native binaries are available on https://github.com/apache/grails-forge/actions/runs/14782064264 under Artifacts.
These are what gets deployed to SDKman, but a SNAPSHOT version.
