Clojure 1.12.5-rc1 is now available. It is the same as https://clojure.org/news/2026/04/07/clojure-1-12-5-alpha1. • https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/CLJ-2945 - reify - incorrectly transfers reader metadata to runtime object • https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/CLJ-2228 - constantly - unroll to remove rest args allocation It would be great to get any feedback about unexpected issues with the change in reify - previously the reader :line / :col metadata on the reify form was being transferred to the reified object itself, which was not the intended behavior. If you can try this version with your tools and projects, we'd appreciate hearing if things were ok (or not!) before we release 1.12.5. Thanks!
