GBench 0.2.0 released

I released GBench 0.2.0 today. GBench is a benchmarking framework for Groovy. This framework allows you to easily benchmark for Groovy programs by providing two powerful features, an AST transformation and a builder.


What's New
  • Added support for CPU time.
  • Improved the builder API.
    • Added better (Groovier) syntax to add benchmark target code blocks.
                ----
                run {
              with 'label', {
              }
          }
          ----
                ->
                ----
                run {
              label {
              }
          }
          ----
    • Added new options for run().
      • "average", "idle", "trim". See its javadoc for usage. Thanks to Yasuharu Nakano (author of GroovyServ) for providing the source code.
      • "repeat". This option is an alternative to "time" option, but "time" option still available for backward compatibility.
    • Added new APIs.
      • sum(), average(), prettyPrint(). See their javadoc for usage.
  • Changed versioning scheme.
        YY.MM.DD
        ->
        Major.Minor.Micro


Resolved Issues
  • The name of the system property to specify @Benchmark's default handling contains the old domain.
        "groovybenchmark.sf.net.defaulthandle"
        ->
        "gbench.defaulthandle"
