Downloads

We provide OpenPGP signatures ('.asc') files and checksums ('.sha512') for every release artifact. We recommend that you verify the integrity of downloaded files by generating your own checksums and match them against ours, and checking signatures using the KEYS file which contains the Grails OpenPGP release keys.

Current Releases

Pre-release (Apache-released)

Per Apache release policy, the milestones and release candidates below are official Apache releases published to Maven Central with full source, binary, and signature artifacts. They are not featured on the home page.

Older Versions

You can download previous versions as far back as Grails 0.1.

NOTE: Versions prior to 7.0.0-M4 are not ASF releases. Links to those releases are provided here as a convenience.
