I have recently released [org.clojure/tools.nrepl "0.2.0-beta9"]. No incompatibilities are known between this release and prior betas.
Much of this release was focused on simplifying: (a) The use of third-party middlewares; constructing an nREPL handler had become far too difficult from a user perspective, insofar as middlewares often must be "stacked" in a particular position relative to other middlewares (b) nREPL client responsiveness; there was previously no way for clients to know what operations were supported by an nREPL endpoint, thus forcing a least common denominator approach (i.e. "do everything via `eval`") These factors should make life much easier for both users and developers of nREPL middlewares. Unrelated to this release, I'd like to point out that nREPL has previously grown the flexibility to work around the thread stack size limitations frequent on Android devices, so such usage should be reasonably straightforward at this point (see http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/NREPL-8). Feedback on any further Android issues are most welcome. Looking forward, very little stands between us and a final 0.2.0 release. Please file your issues with the appropriate haste. ;-) Finally, here's a summary of the changes in 0.2.0-beta9: * New standard `describe` op, returns a machine- and human-readable "directory" of all ops supported by an nREPL endpoint's middleware stack (a.k.a. nREPL feature detection) * New standard `load-file` op for loading the contents of a source file with debugging information (source path, etc) (Particularly important for Clojure/ClojureScript REPL uniformity) * Added support for automagically arranging middlewares into a properly-ordered stack based on their runtime dependencies (http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/NREPL-26) * The response message to requests that contain an unknown op now include a "done" status in addition to the prior "error" and "unknown-op" statuses * Encoding and decoding of bencode bytestrings to Strings via UTF-8 has been pushed up into the default bencode Transport implementation to support sending binary values in messages efficiently (watch http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/NREPL-28 for further developments there). * `eval` messages specifying a nonexistent namespace via :ns will provoke a response with statuses of #{"error" "namespace-not-found" "done"} instead of silently failing (http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/NREPL-23) Cheers, - Chas -- http://cemerick.com [Clojure Programming from O'Reilly](http://www.clojurebook.com) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
