Groovy 2.4 發布，支持使用Groovy編寫Android應用

本次發布中的最大亮點是支持Android，允許開發人員完全使用Groovy編寫Android應用程序，用更少的樣板代碼比原始的Java。 

該團隊還專注于在性能方面的各種改進，更小的字節碼生成，和內存消耗。

這次發布中其它值得關注的方面：

• traits can use the @SelfType annotation with static type checking enabled to restrict to what classes traits can be applied
• GDK methods improvements
• some refinements to existing AST transformations
• further Groovysh improvements as well.
