Hi James, I have thought about much of what you posted. My replies are below.
1. I have looked at stronger integration of ring and Conjure, but the latest version of Ring was a big change from the previous version and I wanted to get a new version of Conjure out. When I wrote the code handling parameters, cookies and sessions, Ring did not. I would much rather rely on Ring for those areas, however, I'm not sure if cookies and sessions will integrate with Conjure. I'll take a look at it. 2. I've looked at Leiningen in the past, and decided it was too much work to switch over and didn't really gain me anything since Conjure isn't a library. The only way Leiningen would help is in removing the jars from the lib directory. I may update lancet to pull jars from clojars, but I think someone would kill me for that. :) 3. You're the third person this week to mention something about making Conjure apps into a war file. I'm making this highest priority. I'm not sure if I need to rearrange the directory structure. I don't have much experience with war files. I guess I will soon. 4. I noticed the change to Hiccup. It will be updated soon. 5. I'll check out clout, but I have the routing like I want it. I've made it flexible enough to use the Rails like routing (older version) and still allow people to create their own routing. Actually, looking at clout just now, I think I can just drop it in. -Matt Courtney On Jun 11, 3:35 pm, James Reeves <jree...@weavejester.com> wrote: > On 11 June 2010 14:46, Matt <macourt...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I just released Conjure version 0.6.
