Clojure/core Team Update 1 Monday, July 26, 2010 Welcome to the first Clojure/core team update. In these updates you will find: * Announcements of upcoming events * Project updates: summaries of recent work on Clojure and related projects that we support * New developments: other new things we are working on, that haven't quite reached the status of supported project ================================================================== Announcements Friday, July 30, 2010 is "Move your app to Clojure 1.2 day." The Clojure/core team will be hanging out in the #clojure channel on IRC and monitoring the mailing list in real time to help you out with any migration issues. Rich Hickey and Stuart Halloway are teaching Clojure at the Pragmatic Studio. Next venue is September 13-15 in Reston VA. Previous studios have sold out, so register early:http://pragmaticstudio.com/clojure. ================================================================== Project Updates Clojure (http://clojure.org) * went to 1.2 beta 1 on July 14 (http://bit.ly/bIZD8v) * set your keywords free! Keyword and dynamic classes now use soft references (http://bit.ly/bo5BHO) Clojure-Contrib (http://clojure.org) * marked deprecations throughout contrib. There are a lot of them! * documented deprecation policy: mark deprecated for one point release (e.g. 1.2), then option to remove in future releases. If you are living on snapshots you will need to remove dependencies on deprecated contrib functions after 1.2 goes final. Incanter (http: incanter.org) * added mean and variance functions for colls, sets, maps * set-theme fix and example * added auto-correlation function Labrepl (http://github.com/relevance/labrepl) * Continuing to support onramping people across a wide variety of operating systems and IDEs. * Please check the closed issues list before posting an issue: http://github.com/relevance/labrepl/issues/closed. ================================================================== New Developments Lazytest is a BDD/test-driven framework. * added typed assertions http://stuartsierra.com/2010/07/19/typed-assertions * Getting closer to a release. The underlying architecture of types and protocols is approaching stability. Still need significant work on reporting. If you have a burning interest in how test reports will look in the console, now is the time to make suggestions to @stuartsierra. Cljr (http://github.com/liebke/cljr) is a Clojure REPL and package manager. Unlike project-oriented tools, Cljr's sweet spot is an easy-to-install REPL backed by a global package management system. * several classpath-related tweaks and fixes * fixes to windows installation Happy Clojuring!
