 ### Cool New Features
 - Hello Exterminator, Good by bugs! Lot's of things started working... and working well! For instance, use of controller namespaces now work seemlessly.
 - Massive decoupling of dependencies and cleanup between modules.
-- Works with Spring Security 6 out of the box. No plugin needed!

+`Instant` persistence switched from epoch milliseconds (BSON int64) to BSON DateTime (same BSON type as `java.util.Date`); `LocalDateTime` continues to be converted to BSON DateTime using the configured zone. If you currently using domain objects with property type `Instant`, you will need to convert them prior to upgrading. For more info, see https://github.com/apache/grails-core/pull/15111[#15111].
