I think both Fogus and I continued working on the same things we’ve been working on the last couple weeks but moving asymptotically closer to "finished". We also did a lot of updates on various Clojure JIRA tickets, preparing things for Rich to look at. We are expecting to move some of this work (lightweight keyword aliasing, update-keys, update-vals, bunch of jiras) over the line and into a Clojure 1.11.0-alpha2 over the next week. Not sure yet exactly what that will include, depends what makes it through review, some may slip out of alpha2, but I think we will have enough to get an alpha2 out regardless. A lot of what we have been working on is really revising how we work so that we can more regularly deliver new Clojure goodness to you!

This week also saw the release of a new Clojure CLI version, which is largely the same but bumps all of the transitive deps (importantly including some transitive dep security updates and Maven download concurrency improvements), and replaces our build process for the CLI itself with tools.build, so we are eating our dogfood there (and it tastes pretty good!). I did fix a few minor issues in tools.deps and tools.build through that process, but things went surprisingly smoothly.
