Release 0.4.1: Load data readers when executing outside of a project

This release fixes a long running bug (#13) where data readers were not loaded when lein-try was executed outside the context of an existing project.

Thanks to some excellent work by @xsc, lein-try now properly loads data readers (think custom reader literals like Datomic's #db/id[:db.part/user]).

You should now be able to do the following:

$ cd $HOME
$ lein try com.datomic/datomic-free
# ...

user=> (require 'datomic.api)
nil
user=> #db/id[:db.part/user]
#db/id[:db.part/user -1000000]

Upgrading

This latest version of lein-try is available on clojars.

To upgrade, modify the lein-try dependency version in your ~/.lein/profiles.clj to "0.4.1":

{:user {:plugins [ ;; ...
                  [lein-try "0.4.1"]
                  ;; ...
                  ]}}

0.4.0: Square-brackets no more

This isn't a big release, but it is a breaking change.

As of 0.4.0 lein-try no longer supports square brackets ([ ]) as a means of specifying dependency name/version pairs. Square brackets are simply too wonky in ZSH and BASH to continue risking that users encounter odd behavior because of them. See #16 for more info.

Where you used to say: lein try [clj-time "0.1.0"]
You must now say: lein try clj-time "0.1.0"

To upgrade, modify your ~/.lein/profiles.clj to include [lein-try "0.4.0"] like so:

{:user {:plugins [ ;; ...
                  [lein-try "0.4.0"]
                  ; ...
                  ]}}

Remove any Clojure version requirements

In an effort to maximize compatibility, we've removed the reliance on the Clojure 1.5's edn API.

Require Clojure 1.5.1+

Since the library relies on EDN, I've updated the plugins dependencies to include Clojure 1.5.1. Fixes #14.

There is no need to upgrade if lein-try is already working for you.

Try libraries without specifying a version

Thanks to #7 and #8 by @xsc, lein-try now lets you try libraries without specifying a version number. This will cause leiningen to load the latest release of the library in question.

To use this feature, just exclude the version number from your lein try call:

$ lein try clj-time
Retrieving clj-time/clj-time/0.5.1/clj-time-0.5.1.pom from clojars
Retrieving clj-time/clj-time/0.5.1/clj-time-0.5.1.jar from clojars
# ...
user=> 

You can even mix and match versions and no-versions.

$ lein try http-kit "2.1.8" clj-time
Retrieving http-kit/http-kit/2.1.8/http-kit-2.1.8.pom from clojars
Retrieving http-kit/http-kit/2.1.8/http-kit-2.1.8.jar
# ...
user=>

Updating

Update to this latest version by updating your ~/.lein/profiles.clj to say:

{:user {:plugins [[lein-try "0.3.0"]]}}

Add support for Leiningen 2.1.3

This release adds support for Leiningen 2.1.3 (thanks @seancorfield)

Bumping minor version as the privacy of some functions became more restrictive.

Fix lein-try project support

This release integrates #4, a fix that prevents loss of classpath information when launching a REPL in the case you are using lein-try inside of a project.

To upgrade, change the version number of lein-try in ~/.lein/profiles.clj to 0.1.3.

Enjoy!
