If you're an existing +user of ClojureScript please read over the following release notes carefully. + +## Clojure 1.11 parity + +This release includes support for `:as-alias`. It adds `update-vals` and +`update-keys`. It introduces the `cljs.math` namespace, providing portability +for code using `clojure.math`. `iteration`,`NaN?`, `parse-long`, `parse-double`, +`parse-boolean`, and `parse-uuid` have also been added. + +This release also ports CLJ-2608, which adds support for trailing, conj-able +element in map-destructuring support for seqs. + +## Vendorization of tools.reader, data.json, and transit-clj + +ClojureScript is one of the largest libraries in the Clojure ecosystem. Having to +compile some 20,000+ lines of Clojure code every time is a significant hit to +REPL start times and other typical tasks. Thus ClojureScript is ahead-of-time (AOT) +compiled. + +However, due to some subtle aspects of AOT this can lead to unresolveable +dependency conflicts. Users have hit this issue with nearly all of the declared +dependencies: transit-clj, data.json, and tools.reader. + +After conferring with the Clojure Team, we decided to vendorize all these +dependencies. This way we can AOT everything and be confident that we won't +create a conflict that can't easily be fixed via normal dependency management. +ClojureScript no longer depends on transit-clj, only transit-java. The dependance +on data.json has been removed. ClojureScript dependance on tools.reader is +for a less common use case - bootstrapping the compiler to JavaScript. + +Some care was taken to ensure backwards compatibility, and we are particularly +interested in any issues that people may encounter. + +## Other Changes + +The minimum Clojure version for ClojureScript is now 1.10. Google Closure +Compiler has been updated to the May release. + +For a complete list of updates in ClojureScript 1.11.51 see +https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/blob/master/changes.md#1.11.51[here] + +## Contributors + +Thanks to all of the community members who contributed to ClojureScript 1.11.51: + +* Tom Connors +* Roland Thiolliere +* David Frese +* Paula Gearon +* Matthew Huebert +* Hyun-woo Nam +* Timothy Pratley
