Just tried the beta on our test suite. Aside from warnings from new Clojure functions now shadowed by existing functions and obvious cases of hash sensitivity, there are a couple less clear-cut cases (which likely fall into the above hash case but will require further investigation), and we also notice that (range 100) cannot be serialized because clojure.lang.LongRange$LongChunk is not Serializable -- not sure if that's intentional.
Will follow up when we resolve the remaining test failures. Looking forward to the release -- thanks!
