Clojure 1.8

We are pleased to announce the release of Clojure 1.8.

Some of the new features for 1.8 are:

  • More string functions in clojure.string (portable to ClojureScript): index-of, last-index-of, starts-with?, ends-with?, includes?
  • Compiler direct linking - improves performance and startup time
  • Socket server and socket server REPL - adds the ability to allow remote Clojure REPL connections

For more information, see the complete list of all changes since Clojure 1.7 for more details.
