1.1.0 is stable. The git master is the upcoming 1.2.0 BTW: You can't depend on *anything* in contrib. It's not part of standard clojure (despite IMO being implicitly promoted that way on clojure.org) and there are no guarantees about backwards compatibility. It's been stated that contrib is a playground for new ideas that might make it into core clojure. Of course, there are many useful libraries that are only available in contrib - contrib acts as a magnet, and then infects all those useful libraries with it's "you shouldn't be using me" status. I'd like to advise you to only rely on single-purpose packages you find through dependency resolution (maven or lein) rather then the one-version-fits-all you're-a-fool-if-you-use-this indispensable big bundle of stuff that is contrib. But IMO that's not really feasible. Antony Blakey -------------------------- CTO, Linkuistics Pty Ltd Ph: 0438 840 787 You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them.
