Clojure 1.8.0-RC4 is now available. *This build is a "release candidate"!* We would appreciate any and all testing you can do on your own libraries or internal projects to find problems.
Of particular note, CLJ-1861 removes the interning of unused vars. This change reduces compiled class size (clojure jar is 8% smaller), which reduces classloading time, and thus improves startup time (in some tests ~10-15% faster). Code that uses direct linking (like Clojure core) sees the greatest benefits as most direct-linked vars are unused, but you may also see some benefits with code that is not direct linked as well. Feedback on startup time or other impacts in actual projects (with or without direct linking) is appreciated.
