Griffon

• Andres Almiray has announced that Griffon 1.0.2 has been released. He notes that 'this is mostly a bug-fix release with only two minor features added. The new features are the ability to specify additional source and resources paths. These paths may contain sources/resources that are of private nature are may be excluded from SCM. Also plugins like the mybatis plugin make use of this feature to specify mapping classes.'

Catch you all next week.
