Results of some testing done on 1.8.0-RC1: Ran 'mvn clean test' on a few OS/JDK combos that are not tested as often. Reason: there have been (or still are) build or test failures with some of them. All JDKs listed below were 64-bit.
Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 + Oracle JDK 1.7.0_80-b15: ok 3/3 trials Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS + OpenJDK 1.7.0_85: ok 3/3 trials Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS + IBM JDK 1.7.0: ok 10/10 trials, as long as failing tests mentioned in http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1678 are commented out Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS + IBM JDK 1.8.0 (based on jdk8u51-b15): same as for IBM JDK 1.7.0 Mac OS X 10.11.1 + Oracle JDK 1.8.0_11: ok 631/631 trials There were some JVM crashes during 'mvn test' that I have seen with an earlier version of IBM JDK 1.8.0 (based on jdk8u45-b13), but with the version mentioned above those seem to be gone. The older one failed 5 out of 10 trials. The newer one gave passing test results with no JVM crash 10 out of 10 trials. I plan to, but haven't yet, compared Eastwood results with 1.8.0-RC1 vs. 1.7.0. That will take some work before I can give those results, primarily updating Eastwood to work with 1.8.0-RC1. Eastwood makes some assumptions about the structure of ASTs (abstract syntax trees) that 1.8.0-RC!'s :rettag addition changed. I don't think it is much work, but not sure when I will be able to get to it. Until then, I have the following message near the beginning of Eastwood's README: It has been tried with some of the Clojure 1.8.0-alpha versions, but there are known problems there (e.g. incorrect warning about misplaced docstrings, perhaps incorrect warnings about wrong tags, etc.) Andy On Tue, Nov 10, 2015 at 9:30 AM, Alex Miller <a...@puredanger.com> wrote: > Clojure 1.8.0-RC1 is now available. *This build is a "release candidate"!* > We would appreciate any and all testing you can do on your own libraries or > internal projects to find problems.
