== New and improved Groovysh Repl
-The `groovysh` command-line repl has been migrated to JLine3 and has many
improvements.
+The `groovysh` command-line repl has been migrated to
+https://github.com/jline/jline3[JLine3]
+and has many improvements including:
+
+* Cross-platform line editing, history and completion
+* Rich set of commands giving a shell-like experience including:
+ ** `/grab` to add Maven dependencies to the classpath
+ ** `/prnt` to print objects in a human-readable format
+ ** `/inspect` to browse object information
+ ** `/slurp` to shortcut data ingestion
+ ** `/nano` to edit files in the terminal
+* ANSI colors (syntax highlighting, prompt, exception traces, etc)
+* Online help, user alias support and more
Here is an example showing completion when using the `/grab` command:

involving Whiskey flavors, we'll make an Ollama API call and use GQ queries to
show a few more features:
