Apache Grails 7.0.12 and 7.1.12

Apache Grails has released versions 7.0.12 and 7.1.12, which are the latest updates to the open-source web application framework based on the Groovy language.

Background

- Apache Grails is an open-source web application framework built on the Java platform and Groovy language, designed to streamline development using "convention over configuration" principles (similar to Ruby on Rails). - The project was originally created in 2005, became a top-level Apache Software Foundation project in 2015, and has gone through a major transition: Grails 7+ drops the previous Gradle build system in favor of Micronaut as its underlying runtime engine. - These 7.0.12 and 7.1.12 releases are patch updates — they fix bugs, update dependencies, and address security issues. The existence of two minor version lines (7.0.x vs 7.1.x) reflects a deliberate support strategy: one stable branch and one with newer features. - This matters primarily to developers maintaining Grails-based web applications, who need to decide which branch to target for upgrades, and to the broader Java/Groovy community tracking the framework's modernization under Apache stewardship.
