Thank you.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Clojure/core team for the slow, 
measured pace of development and stability of Clojure. 1.6 looks like a safe, 
gentle upgrade from 1.5.1. 


Ironically the biggest change for me in 1.6 is the new API stuff - I look 
forward to rewriting my cfmljure library to leverage the new API once it goes 
gold! 😊

Clojure 1.6.0-alpha3 is now available. 

 

Try it via 

- Download: http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/clojure/clojure/1.6.0-alpha3/

- Leiningen: [org.clojure/clojure "1.6.0-alpha3"]




Clojure 1.6.0-alpha3 has the following changes from 1.6.0-alpha2:




1) Reverted: CLJ-1125 (fix for permgen leak) based on the regression reported 
in CLJ-1299. A fix for this regression is in development and I expect it to be 
re-applied in a future alpha.


- http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1125



- http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1299




2) The following features are no longer marked "Alpha" in Clojure (woohoo!):




* Watches - add-watch, remove-watch  18 * Transients - transient, persistent!, 
conj!, assoc!, dissoc!, pop!, disj!

* Exception data - ex-info, ex-data

* Promises - promise, deliver

* Records - defrecord

* Types - deftype

* Pretty-print tables - print-table




3) Applied patches for:





* [CLJ-827](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-827) - New function: 
clojure.core/unsigned-bit-shift-right

* [CLJ-866](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-866) - New function: 
clojure.test/test-vars



* [CLJ-1102](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1102) - Better handling of 
exceptions with empty stack traces.

* [CLJ-939](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-939) - Exceptions thrown in 
the top level ns form are reported without file or line number.


* [CLJ-858](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-858) - Improve speed of STM 
by removing System.currentTimeMillis.

* [CLJ-669](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-669) - 
clojure.java.io/do-copy: use java.nio for Files


* [CLJ-1105](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1105) - clojure.walk now 
supports records.

* [CLJ-949](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-949) - Removed all 
unnecessary cases of sneakyThrow.

* [CLJ-1238](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1238) - Allow EdnReader to 
read foo// (matches LispReader behavior).

* [CLJ-1264](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1264) - Remove uses of _ as 
a var in the Java code (causes warning in Java 8).


* [CLJ-1222](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1222) - Multiplication 
overflow issues around Long/MIN_VALUE

* [CLJ-1118](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1118) - Inconsistent 
numeric comparison semantics between BigDecimals and other numerics




3) Full change log is updated as well:

https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/changes.md




Still on the plate are 16 tickets (I expect many but not all of those to make 
it in) and the hashing performance work 
(http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Better+hashing). Once we reach 
"completion" we'll release an RC for final testing.
