How would one manually upgrade, willing to play with cutting-edge?

Answer 1

Follow the steps in the official manual http://grails.org/doc/2.4.0/guide/upgradingFrom23.html

The upgrade command has been removed from Grails 2.4. The procedure for upgrading to the latest version of Grails will be detailed in the user guide from now on. Below are steps that must be taken to upgrade an application from 2.3.x to 2.4.

and

The set-grails-version command should be run to update the application's metadata to indicate which version of Grails the application is built with.

Answer 2

The upgrade script has been replaced by a more appropriately name command called set-grails-version. Since an upgrade is not something we can automate easily the name of this command provided problematic for people's expectations.

If you have a Grails application that is missing some files you can also run grails init which will populate any required missing files.
