• Grouper 2.3 uses BeanShell.  There's no tab completion, history, etc.
• Grouper 2.3 with patches and Grouper 2.4+ switches to Groovy as the default shell.
• The goal was to keep any existing GSH scripts that deployers may have written as compatible as possible with the new Groovy based GSH.
• Built in GSH commands (e.g. obliterateStem) were modified to work with both BeanShell and Groovy.

• There's an option to switch back to BeanShell by specifying the following in grouper.properties

  gsh.useLegacy = true

  
  

• gsh.sh and gsh.bat were not changed.

• Users can still use another shell as they did before (e.g. https://github.com/wgthom/groovysh4grouper)
  
  

This is how GSH would start up before the 2.3 patch that contains this change (with an example built in gsh command - obliterateStem).  (There's no change.):
