Thanks and this is great. I haven't look at the change log, but do
you see that we will have to update major parts of our code with this
release from the previous release. Are many functions removed or have
name changes.

Congrats, and a HUGE "thank you" to you and everyone else in the
community that has contributed code or their good spirit to the
community.

I am updating some of the examples in the FP chapter to use letfn, and
the book is already up-to-date on fully lazy seqs.

Any other new features jump out as "must discuss in book"?

Congrats! It's been said many a time, but it bears being said again, Clojure makes hacking fun again.  It's great working with a language that is very production ready, yet still evolving at a quick clip. It's also fascinating that a language supports so many different usage patterns- the diversity and friendliness of the community is amazing.

All built on top of the JVM, whodathunk?

Congrats and many thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to make
Clojure so powerful and fun to use.

I'd like to remind people using Clojure and Maven that they can get
nightly builds of Maven via the Tapestry360 maven snapshot repository:

http://tapestry.formos.com/maven-snapshot-repository

To access the nightly snapshot in Maven, you must update your
pom.xml's <repositories> element (creating it as necessary):

<repositories>
<repository>
<id>tapestry-snapshots</id>
<url>http://tapestry.formos.com/maven-snapshot-repository/</url>
</repository>
</respositories>

You can then add a <dependency> for Clojure:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.clojure</groupId>
<artifactId>clojure-lang</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Note that the repository includes a sources JAR (most IDEs will
download it automatically, which may help with debugging). In
addition, there's a "slim" variant, where the core library Clojure
sources are NOT pre-compiled:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.clojure</groupId>
<artifactId>clojure-lang</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<classifier>slim</classifier>
</dependency>
