Groove updates to 2.5d, John Burkhardt provides some details : This release addresses many issues related to GWS.  If you are using GWS, or using a solution based on this technology then I highly recommend upgrading to this build.  No wait, I don't think its optional for developers:  this release includes the publication of the GWS COM APIs, which will allow developers to extend GWS functionality by creating new Web Services for the platform.  The other biggest issue by far was the problem where Groove itself could get wedged for a full 60 seconds when using http/1.1.  Ouch.

GXcel is released !!. GXcel integrates Excel with Groove and offers the best of both worlds. Realtime collaborative editing of Excelsheets for instance. The best thing is that it adds a whole new dimension to all sorts of custom, homebrew applications made in Excel. This makes Excel a very interesting environment for easy and rapid development of Groovy applications. Great stuff Ashok and Roomy :-)
