tools.namespace: Parse ns declarations from source files and
reload files in the correct order.

https://github.com/clojure/tools.namespace


This is an ALPHA release with some significant changes,
including ClojureScript support (see below). It should be
fully backwards-compatible with the 0.2.x series, except for
the new dependency on Clojure 1.7, but I would like to
encourage anyone working on development tools or libraries
that use tools.namespace to try out this release and report
any bugs you find. Thanks!


Leiningen dependency information:

   [org.clojure/tools.namespace "0.3.0-alpha1"]

  
Changes in this release:

  * Minimum Clojure version is 1.7.0

  * Enhancement [TNS-36]: Use java.classpath for better JVM
    classpath resolution

  * Partial ClojureScript Support [TNS-35]

      * Platform-neutral namespaces were converted to
        conditional-read (`.cljc`) files: c.t.n.dependency,
        c.t.n.track, and c.t.n.parse. These namespaces can
        be used in ClojureScript programs.

      * Added support for finding, parsing, and analyzing
        ClojureScript source files (`.cljs` and `.cljc`) in
        c.t.n.file, c.t.n.parse, c.t.n.dir, and c.t.n.find
        with optional "platform" arguments. These namespaces
        still only **run** on the Clojure(JVM) platform.

      * Reloading and interactive features remain
        Clojure(JVM) only for now: c.t.n.move, c.t.n.reload,
        and c.t.n.repl

      * Uses [tools.reader] for platform-independent parsing
        and conditional-reader support.

  * Breaking change: `c.t.n.parse/read-ns-decl` no longer
    returns `nil` on syntax errors. Instead, exceptions are
    allowed to propagate up from tools.reader. This change
    only affects code which calls `read-ns-decl` directly.
    c.t.n.file and c.t.n.find will catch and ignore reader
    exeptions when trying to read namespace declarations.

  * Some definitions deprecated; see source code or Var
    metadata for details.
