1.9.198

1.9.198 - cljs.spec, core ns aliasing, macro inference, :rename, and more!

Aug 12, 2016 by David Nolen on Google Groups

This release brings cljs.spec to parity with Clojure 1.9.0-alpha10. This release also includes a large number of enhancements to the ns form:

  • :refer now features macro inference. There is no longer any need to supply both :refer and :refer-macros in the same :require, the compiler will figure it out.

  • clojure.* namespaces will now automatically be aliased to their ClojureScript equivalents. For example this means that the following is perfectly valid ClojureScript:

(ns foo.bar
  (:require [clojure.spec :refer [fspec]]))

This feature and the previous one should significantly reduce reader conditional usage in ns forms.

  • thanks to Antonio Monteiro we now support :rename

We also have a new feature that is relevant for tooling such as Figwheel and cljs-devtools - :preloads. This should now be the standard way to inject some bit of side-effecting setup after core but before user code (i.e. connecting REPLs to standard ports, etc.).

There are of course many various small fixes and enhancements, so a very big thank you to everyone that has contributed.

As always feedback welcome!
