Grails database migration plugins

There are at least two Grails plugins that emulate the database migration functionality of Rails:

Is there a consensus about which of these is best, or is there another plugin that does database migration better than either of the above?

There is now a standard Grails database migration plugin available. According to this blog post at least the liquibase plugin will therefore not be maintained past the liquibase 1.9 release anymore.

The new database migration plugin has built-in functionality to execute changelogs on startup and supports the definition of changes in Groovy DSL, so it's probably what you are looking for.

I have heard that Autobase is still maintained, but consider that the Grails Database Migration Plugin is written by the core team, and likely going to be the officially supported one.

In other words, encourage you can wait on Grails 1.4 --> roadmap before choosing either of the plugins above.
