Major Changes

• Autowireing of domain classes off on new 3.2.8 apps for performance improvements.

  • Eg: Spring-security core password encoder will not be wired. (Fixed in 3.1.2 on 4/22/2017)
  • Re-Enable
    • Globally: grails.gorm.autowire = true
    • GORM Event example: https://github.com/grails-plugins/grails-spring-security-core/blob/master/src/main/templates/PersonPasswordEncoderListener.groovy.template
      • NOTE: This will only work in Grails 3.2.9 or GORM 6.0.10 due to a bug in GORM 6.0.9 which shiped by default with this version.

• Reactor events in GORM off for performance improvements.

  • Discussion: grails/grails-core#640 (comment)
  • Re-enable them with grails.gorm.reactor.events = true

• Profiles create broken apps with 3.2.8

  • Discussion: grails/grails-core#10562
