[ANN] Clojure 1.3 Beta 2

[Christopher Redinger]

Clojure 1.3 Beta 2 is now available at 

http://clojure.org/downloads

The list of changes:

  * clojure.test/*/*-report vars made dynamic for use with external

    tools.

  * Calls favor arg vectors :tag over var :tag (CLJ-811)

  * BigInt ops made faster when values are small enough to be treated as longs

  * rational? metadata fixed

  * partition and partition-all holds less

  * Bug fixed on transient vectors

  * print-dup and print-method removed for deftypes (CLJ-812)

  * Prevent make-parents NPE, (CLJ-808)

  * Special print support removed for BigIntegers. (CLJ-798)

Please grab it and let us know how it works for you.

Thanks!

The change to beta2 isn't working for me:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.clojure</groupId>
<artifactId>clojure</artifactId>
<version>1.3.0-beta2</version>
</dependency>

1.3.0-beta1 works fine.

[Armando Blancas]

False alarm. Some trouble with the VPN line.

[Isaac Gouy]

Not surprisingly, some of the benchmarks game programs written for
Clojure 1.2 have problems with 1.3 Beta 2.

My guess is that small changes to the programs will be required to
catch up with the new version, but occasionally program failures have
indicated a bug in new versions of other languages.

(Note reverse-complement and reverse-complement #2 fail because
memory settings were requested to show reduced Clojure memory usage on
the other reverse-complement programs.)

The program source code, with build and run logs can be reached from
the program name links -

Isaac, all of the programs that fail with Clojure 1.3 now can be made to compile and run on both 1.2 and 1.3 by changing a relatively small part of the programs.

I have them on my computer (and probably checked into the github repo clojure-benchmarks), but haven't put them on the benchmarks game web site because it adds a bit of unnecessary clutter to programs that were only intended to run on Clojure 1.2 when they were written.

Does the fact that you produced these test results mean that you are considering moving to Clojure 1.3 soon on the benchmarks game web site?

If so, I can contribute the small modifications necessary.  Rich Hickey has written a quite different Clojure 1.3-specific program for the binarytrees benchmark that is noticeably faster than the Clojure 1.2 program, but there is no reason to submit that until the site uses Clojure 1.3.

When Clojure 1.3 is released - and obviously the beta already is being
shown on those /u64 pages.

Cool - send 'em in!

Well as the author, he'd have to contribute that.
