Publish a Milestone of Grails 7

[sdelamo]

I think we could release Grails 7.0.0-M1 as an artificial for internal consumption. Thanks to @matrei work, grails-core 7.0.x branch now builds with Spring Boot 3.2 and Micronaut 4, and Apache Groovy 4.0.

Once, we have a 7.0.0-M1 artefact, we could create major branches in gsp, scafolding etc and try to get the main plugins with the latest.

Once the main plugins are building correctly, I think we should move then into core.

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me 👍

Hello, do you have any update plans when to release grails 7?
Since spring framework 5.3 is EOL since August and lately CVE-2024-38819 and CVE-2024-38820 (https://spring.io/blog/2024/10/17/spring-framework-cve-2024-38819-and-cve-2024-38820-published) have been published, they are only fixed in commercial version, the grails 7/spring 6 update seems more pressuring then ever

@wuwu2000 7.0.0-M1 should be coming end of this month with the release of Spring Boot 3.4.0
The 7.0.0 stack will be based off of 3.4.x
