Description

The reimplementation of ConfigObject is no longer Cloneable. So if your code relied on being able to clone a ConfigObject, it now throws an exception.

Sample program which used to work and doesn't anymore:

ConfigSlurper slurper = new ConfigSlurper();
ConfigObject conf = slurper.parse("""
foo {
   bar = "baz"
}
""");
println conf.foo.bar
ConfigObject conf2 = conf.clone()
conf2.foo.bar = "quux"
println conf2.foo.bar
