  • made vectors Comparable
  • added unary support for =, not=, distinct?
  • added multi-arg support for = and not=.

  • Added overload of RT.var that takes an initial value.
  • made taking the value of a macro an error
  • made empty lists implement java.util.Collection
  • strip path from simple file name in load call from loadResourceScript

  • made (class nil) -> nil, instead of NPE
  • added TransactionalHashMap
  • return null on no bestMatch to allow default logic to run
  • changed pom.xml to match latest dir structure

  • fixed out-of-bounds in toArray(Object [])
  • fixed truncation in double/long/float_array
  • made vectors implement java.util.List and sets implement java.util.Set
  • removed root-level .cljs
  • first cut at namespace aliases, via Graham Fawcett
  • new clj code hierarchy, old still in place
  • fixed loop for multiple scripts

  • put name in error reports for qualified name use
  • wrapped all non-atomic evals in fn
  • added doc for return value of alter and commute
  • changed cpl url
  • made Ref.fn() use get rather than currentVal
  • added ACC_SUPER flag
  • removed support for finalize, as providing stub causes it to exist, with great performance cost
  • allow exceptions to flow out of Script.main
  • made conj accept multiple items
  • fixed loop with destructuring and inter-binding dependencies

  • made (drop 0 s) return seq of coll, and drop-while similarly

  • added nth support for Map.Entry so can destructure seqs of Java maps
  • nth takes an optional not-found value, and destructuring uses nth with a nil not found value for sequential destructuring, nth without not-found value throws exception in all index-out-of-bounds cases including seqs
  • fixed natural join with empty set input
  • fixed fn init local alignment when closed over longs/doubles
  • added support for extra static methods in genclass
  • made set 'gets' return set member, not arg

  • added Java style hex and octal integer literals, as well as arbitrary radix using nRnnnn...
  • made proxy tolerant of ns-qualified method names
  • added proxy-super
  • added *use-context-classloader*, which can be bound to true to cause the thread's context classloader to be the parent of the dynamic classloader used during load
