BTW (and I may be a little late here) - is there a plan to add keyword creation to the API? Keywords are a pretty common part of many Clojure APIs, it would be good to allow their creation without forcing people to use Keyword.intern().

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Clojure/core team for the slow, measured pace of development and stability of Clojure. 1.6 looks like a safe, gentle upgrade from 1.5.1. Ironically the biggest change for me in 1.6 is the new API stuff - I look forward to rewriting my cfmljure library to leverage the new API once it goes gold! 😊 Sean Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org From: Alex Miller Sent: Friday, November 22, 2013 7:26 PM To: clojure@googlegroups.com Clojure 1.6.0-alpha3 is now available. Try it via - Download: http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/clojure/clojure/1.6.0-alpha3/ - Leiningen: [org.clojure/clojure "1.6.0-alpha3"] Clojure 1.6.0-alpha3 has the following changes from 1.6.0-alpha2: 1) Reverted: CLJ-1125 (fix for permgen leak) based on the regression reported in CLJ-1299. A fix for this regression is in development and I expect it to be re-applied in a future alpha. - http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1125 - http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1299 2) The following features are no longer marked "Alpha" in Clojure (woohoo!): * Watches - add-watch, remove-watch * Transients - transient, persistent!, conj!, assoc!, dissoc!, pop!, disj! * Exception data - ex-info, ex-data * Promises - promise, deliver * Records - defrecord * Types - deftype * Pretty-print tables - print-table 3) Applied patches for: * [CLJ-827](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-827) - New function: clojure.core/unsigned-bit-shift-right * [CLJ-866](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-866) - New function: clojure.test/test-vars * [CLJ-1102](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1102) - Better handling of exceptions with empty stack traces. * [CLJ-939](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-939) - Exceptions thrown in the top level ns form are reported without file or line number. * [CLJ-858](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-858) - Improve speed of STM by removing System.currentTimeMillis. * [CLJ-669](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-669) - clojure.java.io/do-copy: use java.nio for Files * [CLJ-1105](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1105) - clojure.walk now supports records. * [CLJ-949](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-949) - Removed all unnecessary cases of sneakyThrow. * [CLJ-1238](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1238) - Allow EdnReader to read foo// (matches LispReader behavior). * [CLJ-1264](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1264) - Remove uses of _ as a var in the Java code (causes warning in Java 8). * [CLJ-1222](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1222) - Multiplication overflow issues around Long/MIN_VALUE * [CLJ-1118](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1118) - Inconsistent numeric comparison semantics between BigDecimals and other numerics 3) Full change log is updated as well: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/changes.md Still on the plate are 16 tickets (I expect many but not all of those to make it in) and the hashing performance work (http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Better+hashing). Once we reach "completion" we'll release an RC for final testing. Alex Miller -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
