		chime on July 30, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Clojure 1.2 RC1 I'm very new to Clojure (just 1-2 weeks) so pardon my ignorance/mistake. I noticed that the new clojure-contrib.jar was 466KB while the older ones were over 3MB. So I thought it was either a template or a sample file and tried to compile it myself on Windows. I got errors similar to the link in my parent post. But now I just extracted the file and it works. So what happened that shrunk the contrib-jar that much in this version?

Much functionality was moved from clojure-contrib into new namespaces in clojure itself; clojure.jar is now bigger by roughly the same amount that clojure-contrib.jar shrank :)

A lot of contrib stuff has matured and is now in the core.
