I'd like to point out that there was 0 upfront communication about the changes and it was not made clear in the announcement that this release completely breaks public API (saying that you have a new API is not enough). I moved all clojurewerkz.org projects off of c.d.json after I saw breaking changes that (back then) not only were not announced but also were not mentioned in the README or anywhere else. Note that if there were some clojure-dev posts about this, it does not count because the majority of the ecosystem cannot join that list and has no easy way (or motivation, honestly) to follow it. I believe that communicating breaking changes to popular libraries loud and clear, on this mailing list, is very important. Twice as important for Contrib projects. Keeping a file like [1] for every project is a must. c.d.json does have a change log at the bottom of README file but most Contrib projects, for example, do not. 1. https://github.com/michaelklishin/welle/blob/master/ChangeLog.md -- MK http://github.com/michaelklishin http://twitter.com/michaelklishin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
