= 3 About Alpha Releases

1.3 is the first release of Clojure that will include a series of

alpha builds. We are adding these builds to support maven and

leiningen users, who want a specific artifact that they can target (as

opposed to building from master or "moving-target" snapshots).

If you are the kind of person who used to track master by building

from source, but no longer do so because you are using maven or

leiningen, alpha releases are for you.

Hi,

^^^ note the version, but the subject
says it all, so...

I downloaded the alpha3 release and have run it with the recent build
of clojure-contrib #253 [1]. When I use'd c.c.monads it threw an
exception:

devmac:apps jacek$ clj -13
CLOJURE_DIR: /Users/jacek/apps/clojure
CLOJURE_CONTRIB_JAR: /Users/jacek/apps/clojure-contrib-1.3.0-build254.jar
Clojure 1.3.0-alpha3
user=> (use 'clojure.contrib.monads)
NoSuchMethodError
clojure.core$meta.invokeStatic(Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object;
clojure.contrib.def/defvar (def.clj:30)

With the latest clojure-contrib alpha2, it works fine:

devmac:apps jacek$ clj -13
CLOJURE_DIR: /Users/jacek/apps/clojure
CLOJURE_CONTRIB_JAR: /Users/jacek/apps/clojure-contrib-1.3.0-alpha2.jar
Clojure 1.3.0-alpha3
user=> (use 'clojure.contrib.monads)
nil

Why?
