<p>Dear community,</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><span class="image right"><img src="img/groovy_logo.png" alt="Groovy logo" width="200"></span>
The Apache Groovy team is pleased to announce version 3.0.0-alpha-4 of
Apache Groovy. We expect this to be the last "alpha" release of Groovy
3.0.0 as we shift our focus to releasing this next version of Groovy.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>2018 was an exciting year for Groovy with download numbers going over
100M in 2018 for the first time. We also had 18 releases and over 30
new contributors. Thanks to you all! We expect 2019 to be even more
exciting as we bring to fruition the hard work (including hundreds of
improvements and fixes) that have already gone into 3.0.0.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Apache Groovy is a multi-faceted programming language for the JVM.
Further details can be found at the <a href="http://groovy.apache.org" class="bare">http://groovy.apache.org</a> website.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This is a pre-release of a new version of Groovy.
