 ## 1 Deprecated and Removed Features
 
-### 1.1 Earmuffed Vars Are No Longer Automatically Considered Dynamic.
-
-    (def *fred*)
-    => Warning: *fred* not declared dynamic and thus is not dynamically rebindable, but its name suggests otherwise. Please either indicate ^:dynamic ** or change the name.
-
-### 1.2 ISeq No Longer Inherits From Sequential
-
-This allows ISeq implementers to be in the map or set equality partition.
-
-### 1.3 Removed Bit Operation Support for Boxed Numbers
-
-Bit Operations map directly to primitive operations
-
-### 1.4 Ancillary Namespaces No Longer Auto-Load on Startup
-
-The following namespaces are no longer loaded on startup: clojure.set, clojure.xml, clojure.zip
-
-### 1.5 Replicate Deprecated
-
-Use repeat instead.
-
-## 2 New/Improved Features
-
-### 2.1 Enhanced Primitive Support
-
-Full details here:
-
- - [Enhanced Primitive Support][EPS]
- - [Documentation for 1.3 Numerics][NUM]
- 
-[EPS]: http://dev.clojure.org/display/doc/Enhanced+Primitive+Support
-[NUM]: http://dev.clojure.org/display/doc/Documentation+for+1.3+Numerics
-
-### 2.2 defrecord and deftype Improvements
-
-Details here: [Defrecord Improvements](http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/defrecord+improvements)
-
-### 2.3 Better Exception Reporting
-
-Details here: [Error Handling](http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Error+Handling)
-
-Additionally:
-
-Better error messages:
-
- * When calling macros with arity
- * For Invalid Map Literals
- * For alias function if using unknown namespace
- * In the REPL
- * Add "starting at <line>" to EOF while reading exceptions
- * Better compilation error reporting
-
-### 2.4 clojure.reflect/reflect
-
-Full details here: [Reflection API](http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Reflection+API)
-
-### 2.5 clojure.data/diff
-
-Recursively compares a and b, returning a tuple of [things-only-in-a things-only-in-b things-in-both]
-
-    (diff {:a 1 :b 2} {:a 1 :b 22 :c 3})
-    => ({:b 2} {:c 3, :b 22} {:a 1})
-
-### 2.6 clojure.core/every-pred and clojure.core/some-fn Combinators
-
-every-pred takes a set of predicates and returns a function f that returns true if all of its composing predicates return a logical true value against all of its arguments, else it returns false.
-
-    ((every-pred even?) 2 4 6)
-    => true
-
-    ((every-pred even?) 2 4 5)
-    =>false
-
-some-fn takes a set of predicates and returns a function f that returns the first logical true value  returned by one of its composing predicates against any of its arguments, else it returns logical false.
-
-    ((some-fn even?) 2 4 5)
-    => true
-    ((some-fn odd?) 2 4 6)
-    => false
-
-### 2.7 clojure.core/realized?
-
-Returns true if a value has been produced for a promise, delay, future or lazy sequence.
-
-    (let [x (range 5)]
-      (println (realized? x))
-      (first x)
-      (println (realized? x)))
-    => false
-    => true
+### 1.1 Record and Type Fields that Start With a Dash Can No Longer Be Accessed Using Dot Syntax
 
-### 2.8 clojure.core/with-redefs-fn & clojure.core/with-redefs
+Clojure 1.4 introduces a field accessor syntax for the dot special form that aligns Clojure field lookup syntax with ClojureScript's.
 
-with-redefs-fn temporarily redefines Vars during a call to func. with-redefs temporarily redefines Vars while executing the body.
+For example, in Clojure 1.3, one can declare a record with a field starting with dash and access it like this:
 
-    (with-redefs [nil? :temp] (println nil?))
-    => :temp
+    (defrecord Bar [-a]) ;=> user.Bar
+    (.-a (Bar. 10)) ;=> 10
+    
+In 1.4, the above code results in `IllegalArgumentException No matching field found: a for class user.Bar`
 
-### 2.9 clojure.core/find-keyword
+However, the field may still be accessed as a keyword:
 
-Returns a Keyword with the given namespace and name if one already exists.
+    (:-a (Bar. 10)) ;=> 10
 
-    (find-keyword "def")
-    => :def
-    (find-keyword "fred")
-    => nil
+## 2 New and Improved Features
 
-### 2.10 clojure.repl/pst
+### 2.1 Reader Literals
 
-Prints a stack trace of the exception
+Clojure 1.4 supports reader literals, which are data structures tagged
+by a symbol to denote how they will be read.
 
+When Clojure starts, it searches for files named `data_readers.clj`
+at the root of the classpath. Each such file must contain a Clojure
+map of symbols, like this:
 
-    (pst (IllegalArgumentException.))
+    {foo/bar my.project.foo/bar
+     foo/baz my.project/baz}
 
-    IllegalArgumentException
-        user/eval27 (NO_SOURCE_FILE:18)
-        clojure.lang.Compiler.eval (Compiler.java:6355)
-        clojure.lang.Compiler.eval (Compiler.java:6322)
-        clojure.core/eval (core.clj:2699)
-        clojure.main/repl/read-eval-print--5906 (main.clj:244)
-        clojure.main/repl/fn--5911 (main.clj:265)
-        clojure.main/repl (main.clj:265)
-        clojure.main/repl-opt (main.clj:331)
-        clojure.main/main (main.clj:427)
-        clojure.lang.Var.invoke (Var.java:397)
-        clojure.lang.Var.applyTo (Var.java:518)
-        clojure.main.main (main.java:37)
+The key in each pair is a tag that will be recognized by
+the Clojure reader. The value in the pair is the
+fully-qualified name of a Var which will be invoked by the reader to
+parse the form following the tag. For example, given the
+data_readers.clj file above, the Clojure reader would parse this
+form:
 
-### 2.11 clojure.pprint/print-table
+    #foo/bar [1 2 3]
 
-Prints a collection of maps in a textual table.
+by invoking the Var `#'my.project.foo/bar` on the vector `[1 2 3]`. The
+data reader function is invoked on the form AFTER it has been read
+as a normal Clojure data structure by the reader.
 
-    (print-table [:fred :barney]
-                 [{:fred "ethel"}
-                  {:fred "wilma" :barney "betty"}])
+Reader tags without namespace qualifiers are reserved for Clojure. Default 
+reader tags are defined in `clojure.core/default-data-readers` but may be 
+overridden in `data_readers.clj` or by rebinding `*data-readers*`.
 
-    ===============
-    :fred | :barney
-    ===============
-    ethel |
-    wilma | betty
-    ===============
+#### 2.1.1 Instant Literals
 
-### 2.12 pprint respects \*print-length\*
+Clojure supports literals for instants in the form 
+`#inst "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.fff+hh:mm"`. These literals are parsed as `java.util.Date`s
+by default. They can be parsed as `java.util.Calendar`s or `java.util.Timestamp`s
+by binding `*data-readers*` to use `clojure.instant/read-instant-calendar` or
+`clojure.instant/read-instant-timestamp`.
 
-Assigning \*print-length\* now affects output of pprint
+    (def instant "#inst \"@2010-11-12T13:14:15.666\"")
+    
+    ; Instants are read as java.util.Date by default
+    (= java.util.Date (class (read-string instant)))
+    ;=> true
+    
+    ; Instants can be read as java.util.Calendar or java.util.Timestamp
+    
+    (binding [*data-readers* {'inst read-instant-calendar}]
+      (= java.util.Calendar (class (read-string instant))))
+    ;=> true
 
-### 2.13 compilation and deployment via Maven
+    (binding [*data-readers* {'inst read-instant-timestamp}]
+      (= java.util.Timestamp (class (read-string instant))))
+    ;=> true
 
-See the following pages for more information:
+#### 2.1.2 UUID Literals
 
- - [Maven Settings and Repositories][MSR]
- - [Why Maven?][WM]
- - [Common Contrib Build][CCB]
- - [How to Make Releases][HMR]
- 
- [MSR]: http://dev.clojure.org/display/doc/Maven+Settings+and+Repositories
- [WM]: http://dev.clojure.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=950842
- [CCB]: http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Common+Contrib+Build
- [HMR]:http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/How+to+Make+Releases
+Clojure supports literals for UUIDs in the form `#uuid "uuid-string"`. These
+literals are parsed as `java.util.UUID`s.
 
-### 2.14 internal keyword map uses weak refs
+### 2.2 clojure.core/mapv
 
-### 2.15 ^:const defs
+`mapv` takes a function `f` and one or more collections and returns a 
+vector consisting of the result of applying `f` to the set of first items of 
+each collection, followed by applying `f` to the set of second items in each 
+collection, until any one of the collections is exhausted. Any remaining 
+items in other collections are ignored. `f` should accept a number of arguments
+equal to the number of collections.
 
-^:const lets you name primitive values with speedier reference.
+    (= [1 2 3] (mapv + [1 2 3]))
+    ;=> true
 
-    (def constants
-     {:pi 3.14
-      :e 2.71})
+    (= [2 3 4] (mapv + [1 2 3] (repeat 1)))
+    ;=> true
 
-    (def ^:const pi (:pi constants))
-    (def ^:const e (:e constants))
+### 2.3 clojure.core/filterv
 
-The overhead of looking up :e and :pi in the map happens at compile time, as (:pi constants) and (:e constants) are evaluated when their parent def forms are evaluated.
+`filterv` takes a predicate `pred` and a collection and returns a vector
+of the items in the collection for which `(pred item)` returns true. `pred`
+must be free of side-effects.
 
-### 2.16 Message Bearing Assert
+    (= [] (filterv even? [1 3 5]))
+    ;=> true
 
-Assert can take a second argument which will be printed when the assert fails
+    (= [2 4] (filter even? [1 2 3 4 5]))
+    ;=> true
 
-    (assert (= 1 2) "1 is not equal to 2")
-    => AssertionError Assert failed: 1 is not equal to 2
+### 2.4 clojure.core/ex-info and clojure.core/ex-data
 
-### 2.17 Error Checking for defmulti Options
+`ex-info` creates an instance of `ExceptionInfo`. `ExceptionInfo` is a
+`RuntimeException` subclass that takes a string `msg` and a map of data.
 
-defmulti will check to verify that its options are valid. For example, the following code will throw an exception:
+    (ex-info "Invalid use of robots" {:robots false})
+    ;=> #<ExceptionInfo clojure.lang.ExceptionInfo: Invalid use of robots {:robots false}>
 
-    (defmulti fred :ethel :lucy :ricky)
-    => IllegalArgumentException
+`ex-data` is called with an exception and will retrieve that map of data
+if the exception is an instance of `ExceptionInfo`.
 
-### 2.18 Removed Checked Exceptions
+    (ex-data (ex-info "Invalid use of robots" {:robots false}))
+    ;=> {:robots false}
 
-Clojure does not throw checked exceptions
+### 2.5 clojure.core/reduce-kv
 
-### 2.19 vector-of Takes Multiple Args
+`reduce-kv` reduces an associative collection. It takes a function `f`,
+an initial value `init` and an association collection `coll`. `f` should 
+be a function of 3 arguments. Returns the result of applying `f` to `init`, 
+the first key and the first value in `coll`, then applying `f` to that result 
+and the 2nd key and value, etc. If `coll` contains no entries, returns `init`
+and f is not called. Note that `reduce-kv` is supported on vectors, 
+where the keys will be the ordinals.
 
-vector-of takes multiple args used to populate the array
+    (reduce-kv str "Hello " {:w \o :r \l :d \!})
+    ;=> "Hello :rl:d!:wo"
+    (reduce-kv str "Hello " [\w \o \r \l \d \!])
+    ;=> "Hello 0w1o2r3l4d5!"
 
-    (vector-of :int 1 2 3)
-    => [1 2 3]
+### 2.6 clojure.core/contains? Improved
 
-### 2.20 deref with timeout
+`contains?` now works with `java.util.Set`.
 
-deref now takes a timeout option - when given with a blocking reference, will return the timeout-val if the timeout (in milliseconds) is reached before value is available.
+### 2.7 clojure.core/min and clojure.core/max prefer NaN
 
-    (deref (promise) 10 :ethel)
-    => :ethel
+`min` and `max` now give preference to returning NaN if either of their
+arguments is NaN.
 
-### 2.21 Walk Support for sorted-by Collections
+### 2.8 clojure.java.io/as-file and clojure.java.io/as-url Handle URL-Escaping Better
 
-Walk modified to work on sorted-by collections
+`as-file` and `as-url` now handle URL-escaping in both directions.
 
-    let [x (sorted-set-by > 1 2 3)] (walk inc reverse x))
-    => (2 3 4)
+### 2.9 New Dot Syntax for Record and Type Field Access
 
-### 2.22 string.join Enhanced to Work with Sets
+Clojure 1.4 introduces a field accessor syntax for the dot special
+form that aligns Clojure field lookup syntax with ClojureScript's.
 
-Just like join works on other collections
+In 1.4, to declare a record type and access its property `x`, one can
+write:
 
-    (join " and " #{:fred :ethel :lucy})
-    => ":lucy and :fred and :ethel"
+    (defrecord Foo [x]) ;=> user.Foo
+    (.-x (Foo. 10)) ;=> 10
+    
+This addition makes it easier to write code that will run as expected
+in both Clojure and ClojureScript.
 
-### 2.23 clojure.test-helper
+### 2.10 Record Factory Methods Available Inside defrecord
 
-All test helpers moved into clojure.test-helper
+Prior to 1.4, you could not use the factory functions (`->RecordClass`
+and `map->RecordClass`) to construct a new record from inside a
+`defrecord` definition.
 
-### 2.24 Newline outputs platform-specific newline sequence
+The following example did not work prior to 1.4, but is now
+valid. This example makes use of `->Mean` which would have not yet
+been available.
 
-Newline sequence is output as \r\n on Windows now.
+    (defrecord Mean [last-winner]
+      Player
+      (choose [_] (if last-winner last-winner (random-choice)))
+      (update-strategy [_ me you] (->Mean (when (iwon? me you) me))))
 
-### 2.25 init-proxy and update-proxy return proxy
+### 2.11 assert-args Displays Namespace and Line Number on Errors
 
-Now you can chain calls on the proxy
+`assert-args` now uses &form to report the namespace and line number where
+macro syntax errors occur.
 
-### 2.26 doc & find-doc moved to REPL
+### 2.12 File and Line Number Added to Earmuff Dynamic Warning
 
-Adds special form docs to the REPL
+When a variable is defined using earmuffs but is not declared dynamic,
+Clojure emits a warning. That warning now includes the file and line
+number.
 
-### 2.27 clojure.java.shell/sh accepts as input anything that clojure.java.io/copy does
+### 2.13 require Can Take a :refer Option
 
-This adds InputStream, Reader, File, byte[] to the list of inputs for clojure.java.shell/sh
+`require` can now take a `:refer` option. `:refer` takes a list of symbols
+to refer from the namespace or `:all` to bring in all public vars.
 
-### 2.28 Interrupt Handler Promoted to clojure.repl
+### 2.14 \*compiler-options\* Var
 
-Promoting this library eliminates the need for a dependency on old contrib.
+The dynamic var `*compiler-options*` contains a map of options to send
+to the Clojure compiler.
 
-### 2.29 Add support for running -main namespaces from clojure.main
+Supported options:
 
-This patch allows clojure.main to accept an argument pointing to a namespace to look for a -main function in. This allows users to write -main functions that will work the same whether the code is AOT-compiled for use in an executable jar or just run from source.
+* `:elide-meta`: Have certain metadata elided during compilation. This 
+should be set to a collection of keywords.
+* `:disable-locals-clearing`: Set to true to disable clearing. Useful for
+using a debugger.
 
-### 2.30 Set thread names on agent thread pools
+### 2.15 Improved Reporting of Invalid Characters in Unicode String Literals
 
-It's a best practice to name the threads in an executor thread pool with a custom ThreadFactory so that the purpose of these threads is clear in thread dumps and other runtime operational tools.
+When the reader finds an invalid character in a Unicode string literal, it
+now reports the character instead of its numerical representation.
 
-Patch causes thread names like:
+### 2.16 clojure.core/hash No Longer Relies on .hashCode
 
-    clojure-agent-send-pool-%d     (should be fixed # of threads)
-    clojure-agent-send-off-pool-%d (will be added and removed over time)
+`hash` no longer directly uses .hashCode() to return the hash of a Clojure
+data structure. It calls `clojure.lang.Util.hasheq`, which has its own implementation
+for Integer, Short, Byte, and Clojure collections. This ensures that the hash code
+returned is consistent with `=`.
 
-### 2.31 Add docstring support to def
+### 2.17 Java 7 Documentation
 
-A def can now have a docstring between name and value.
+`*core-java-api*` will now return the URL for the Java 7 Javadoc when you are
+running Java 7.
 
-    (def foo "a foo" :foo)
+### 2.18 loadLibrary Loads Library Using System ClassLoader
 
-### 2.32 Comp function returns identity when called with zero arity
+A static method, `loadLibrary`, was added to `clojure.lang.RT` to load a 
+library using the system ClassLoader instead of Clojure's class loader.
 
-    (= (comp) identity)
-    => true
+### 2.19 Java int is Boxed As java.lang.Integer
 
-### 2.33 Type hints can be applied to arg vectors
-
-You can hint different arities separately:
-
-    (defn hinted
-      (^String [])
-      (^Integer [a])
-      (^java.util.List [a & args]))
-
-This is preferred over hinting the function name. Hinting the function name is still allowed for backward compatibility, but will likely be deprecated in a future release.
-
-### 2.34 Binding Conveyance
-
-Clojure APIs that pass work off to other threads (e.g. send, send-off, pmap, future) now convey the dynamic bindings of the calling thread:
-
-    (def ^:dynamic *num* 1)
-    (binding [*num* 2] (future (println *num*)))
-    ;; prints "2", not "1"
+Java `int`s are now boxed as `java.lang.Integer`s. See
+[the discussion on clojure-dev](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/clojure/7-hARL5c1lI/ntnnOweEGfUJ)
+for more information.
 
 ## 3 Performance Enhancements
 
-  * Code path for using vars is now much faster for the common case
-  * Improved startup time
-  * Fix performance on some numeric overloads
-    See [CLJ-380](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-5) for more information
-  * Promises are lock free
-  * Functions only get metadata support code when metadata explicitly supplied
-  * definterface/gen-interface accepts array type hints
-  * inline nil?
-  * inline bit-functions & math ops
-  * inline n-ary min & max
-  * PersistentQueue count is now O(1)
-  * Intrinsics: unchecked math operators now emit bytecodes directly where possible
+* `(= char char)` is now optimized
+* `equiv` is inlined in variadic =
+* `toString` cached on keywords and symbols

-## 5 Modular Contrib
-
-In 1.3, the monolithic clojure-contrib.jar has been replaced by a modular system of contrib libraries, so that production systems can include only the code they actually need. This also allows individual contribs to have their own release cycles. Many contribs have moved forward by several point versions already. Documentation for updating applications to use the new contrib libraries is at http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Where+Did+Clojure.Contrib+Go
-
-Important Note: Many of the new modular contribs are compatible with both 1.2 and 1.3. This offers an incremental migration path: First, upgrade your contrib libraries while holding Clojure at 1.2, Then, in a separate step, upgrade to Clojure 1.3.
