== Other improvements
+=== GString performance improvements
+
+* GString internals were revamped to improve performance.
+In numerous cases, GString data structures are automatically cached.
+While rarely used, GStrings do permit their internal data structures to
+be viewed (and even changed!). In such circumstances, caching is disabled.
+If you wish to view and not change the internal data structures, you can
+call a `freeze()` method in `GStringImpl` to disallow changing of the internal
+data structures which allows caching to remain active.

Before compiling with Groovy 4, some of these may need one or more appropriate static import statements added.
AST transforms which extend `AbstractASTTransformation` are one example of potentially affected classes.

+* `ASTTest` previously had `RUNTIME` retention but now has `SOURCE` retention.
+We know of no users making use of the old retention but are aware of various
+issues keeping the old value.

+* There were some inconsistencies with JavaBean property naming conventions
+for various edge cases, e.g. for a field with a name being a single uppercase `X` and having a `getX` accessor,
+then the field was given priority over the accessor.

+* Numerous mostly internal data structure classes, e.g. AbstractConcurrentMapBase, AbstractConcurrentMap, ManagedConcurrentMap
+were deprecated and their usage replaced with better alternatives.
+This should be mostly invisible but some changes might impact users using
+internal Groovy classes directly.
