core.async 0.1.319.0-6b1aca-alpha has the following changes from prior
release:

1) Transducers support as outlined in Rich's blog post:

http://blog.cognitect.com/blog/2014/8/6/transducers-are-coming

You will need Clojure 1.7.0-alpha1 to create the transducers used by
core.async.

With the addition of transducers, many of the async operators
(map>,filter>,reduce>,etc) have been deprecated and will eventually be
removed. One of the benefits of transducers is that we can define
transformations once (in core) but use them on channels as well.

2) New: pipeline, pipeline-blocking, and pipeline-async

Pipeline sits between two channels and applies a transducer function with a
specified parallelism, output order is retained. Please read the docstrings
for all the details:

http://clojure.github.io/core.async/#clojure.core.async/pipeline
http://clojure.github.io/core.async/#clojure.core.async/pipeline-blocking
http://clojure.github.io/core.async/#clojure.core.async/pipeline-async

3) partial solution to cljs ASYNC-81, remove all instances of (assert nil
...)…
http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/ASYNC-81

4) allow exceptions on 'go' thread pool to propagate - ASYNC-76
http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/ASYNC-76

Prior code was trapping uncaught exceptions bubbling out of "go" loops or
"thread" calls, printing the exception (so you could at least debug it),
and swallowing the exception. We've rolled that back so that exceptions now
bubble up to the top of the thread where Java uncaught exception handlers
come into play. This has the benefit of giving control back to the
application and the downside of again hiding that exception by default.

In general, go and thread blocks should be looking for and dealing with
exceptions in an appropriate way (like sending a message on a channel,
closing a channel, logging, whatever makes sense for you).

If an unexpected exception escapes out of those blocks, one way to retrieve
it is to install a default uncaught exception handler (presuming this does
not collide with one already defined in your environment):

(Thread/setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler
  (reify Thread$UncaughtExceptionHandler
    (uncaughtException [_ thread ex]
          ;; do what you want here, this prints to stderr
  (.printStackTrace ex))))

This is a first step, more to come in this area.
