SpringSource has introduced Grails 1.2.

"The general release follows the December 16 general availability of Spring Framework 3.0 for Java application development... Grails 1.2 has dependency resolution offering full control over JAR (Java Archive) dependencies," writes InfoWorld's Paul Krill. "Improved Spring integration is featured along with named query support. A named URL capability allows developers to create more explicit and expressive links inside GSPs (GrooverServer Pages)."

"Other improvements include the better dynamic finders for boolean properties, global configuration of defaults for the GORM (Grail's Object Relational Manager), support for the hasOne database mapping, improved internationalisation, pluggable embedded web containers and an enhanced JSONBuilder," according to The H Open Source.

The release is available for download here.
