Clojure 1.12.0 is now available
5 September 2024 Alex Miller Clojure 1.12 produces Java 8 bytecode (same as Clojure 1.10 and 1.11), but this is expected to be the last release using a Java 8 baseline. Future releases will move the bytecode and minimum Java compatibility to a newer Java LTS release.
However, you do not want to add tools.deps and its many dependencies to your project classpath during development, and thus we have also added a new api for invoking functions out of process via the Clojure CLI. Without param-tags they behave like the equivalent dot syntax, except the qualifying class takes precedence over hints of the target object, and over its runtime type when invoked via reflection. Compiled code from an earlier version of Clojure with var names that matched the newly added functions in clojure.core would be unbound when loaded in a 1.11.0 runtime.
