- Deprecated Annotation Types
  Annotation Type and Description
  Mixin Provides a mechanism for mixing in methods into a class.

- Deprecated Methods
  Method and Description
  CompileStack#pushBooleanExpression() Because a boolean Expression may not be evaluated completely it is important to keep the registers clean.
  CompilerConfiguration#getOutput() Gets the currently configured output writer.
  CompilerConfiguration#setOutput(PrintWriter output) Sets the output writer.
  DefaultGroovyMethods#chop$$bridge(Iterator self, int chopSizes) Chops the iterator items into pieces, returning lists with sizes corresponding to the supplied chop sizes.
  DefaultGroovyMethods#findIndexValues$$bridge(Iterator self, Closure condition) Iterates over the elements of an Iterator and returns the index values of the items that match the condition specified in the closure.
  DefaultGroovyMethods#findIndexValues$$bridge(Iterator self, Number startIndex, Closure condition) Iterates over the elements of an Iterator, starting from a specified startIndex, and returns the index values of the items that match the condition specified in the closure.
  GeneralUtils#makeDescriptorWithoutReturnType(MethodNode mn) deprecated: use MethodNodeUtils#methodDescriptorWithoutReturnType(MethodNode) instead
  GenericsUtils#alignGenericTypes(GenericsType redirectGenericTypes, GenericsType parameterizedTypes, GenericsType alignmentTarget) Given a parameterized type and a generic type information, aligns actual type parameters.
  GenericsUtils#parameterizeInterfaceGenerics(ClassNode hint, ClassNode target) Interface class nodes retrieved from ClassNode.getInterfaces or ClassNode.getAllInterfaces are returned with generic type arguments.
  GroovyCategorySupport#hasCategoryInAnyThread() deprecated: use hasCategoryInCurrentThread()
  Groovyc#makeCompileUnit() deprecated: This method is not in use anymore.
  IndyInterface#fromCache(CacheableCallSite callSite, Class sender, String methodName, int callID, Boolean safeNavigation, Boolean thisCall, Boolean spreadCall, Object dummyReceiver, Object arguments) Get the cached methodHandle. if the related methodHandle is not found in the inline cache, cache and return it.
  IndyInterface#selectMethod(CacheableCallSite callSite, Class sender, String methodName, int callID, Boolean safeNavigation, Boolean thisCall, Boolean spreadCall, Object dummyReceiver, Object arguments) Core method for indy method selection using runtime types.
