Well, it's a "new release" insofar as it's an updated version of nrepl.el. In order to switch to it, however, you have to remove nrepl.el _and all packages that depend on it_ (which packages are not specified in the upgrade instructions so that would be a hit'n'miss process), then you install cider.el and then you also have to update various parts of .emac.d/init.el depending on how you had customized nrepl. And that part isn't really described in the upgrade instructions either so that's also pretty hit'n'miss. And then you have to reinstall newer versions of the packages you deleted that depended on nrepl.el and hope you get versions that depend on cider.el instead (since there's no way of telling, based solely on their package description I suspect). And if you use Ritz, that hasn't been updated so you have to stay with nrepl.el anyway. Frankly, I think it was a mistake to rename it and rename various functions in it, forcing breakage on dependent packages (which have not changed their names as far as I can tell). I use ac-nrepl and the latest version still says it is for nrepl so I've no idea whether it will work with cider. I also use nrepl-ritz but I could live without it. My nrepl-related init.el file contains: https://www.refheap.com/21729 and it's not clear how that would need changing and whether it would continue to work properly. And this isn't just for me - my team all has the same base configuration of Emacs and so we'd have to go thru this switch process for each team member. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
