Sorry, how can boot-bin become deprecated while boot-native supports neither MacOS nor Windows? Perhaps, deprecated wording is too strong?
@alexyakushev where do you read deprecated?
yeah, that’s strange. it doesn’t instill confidence in the stability of boot
@alexyakushev @borkdude the boot-native loader does indeed work on windows and macos, the documentation needs to be updated. For v3 boot-native is an in-place replacement for boot-bin, for v4 we are working on native image support which is only available for Linux today. Everything will be updated accordingly this week.
Also boot-native will probably get renamed to loader
or bootstraps
or something like that - the current naming is poor
The important thing to note is that V3 will maintain backwards compatibility with the current V2 implementation. Everything will continue to work as it does today.
sounds amazing!
so once boot 3.0 is out, if i run boot -u
, everything should just work™ without me needing to change or install anything?
@dave almost, since we are replacing the loader you will need to update boot via package manager, boot-bin currently blocks versions higher than 2.X
The new loader is version agnostic and should actually work with a V2 project although it’s not supported
cool! fair enough 🙂
https://github.com/boot-clj/bootstrap ^ I renamed it for now, more updates and a blog post still to come 🙂
