Release 1.12.85

[1.12.85] - 2026-03-19

Enhancements

• Added RSA module (asymmetric public-key cryptography algorithm)

  • generate key pairs
  • store/load keys as PEM files
  • encrypt/decrypt messages
  • sign/verify messages

• IPC Diffie-Hellman key exchange can now optionally be signed by RSA public/private
  keys to prevent Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks. The RSA signed key exchange is
  authenticating the two parties (IPC client and server) involved in the key exchange.

• Added macro with-tmp-dir

Bugs

• #9: Fixed function seq to run on sets as well
  • (seq #{}) => nil
  • (sort (seq #{1 2 3})) => (1 2 3)

Release 1.12.84

[1.12.84] - 2026-03-12

Enhancements

• Added remote REPL session inactivity timeout. Defaults to 30 minutes. Can be configured
  through the option -repl-session-timeout t when starting a REPL server.

• Added function trace/untrace-all

• The finder function supports now searching for all functions under tracing: (finder :tracing)

• Improved Java interoperability regarding equality checking with Java enums. The == function
  (non strict equal) supports now comparing Java enums with keywords.

  (let [date  (. :java.time.LocalDate :of 2026 1 1)
        month (. date :getMonth)]
    (enum? (class-of month))  ;; true (month is a java enum)
    (== month :JANUARY)       ;; true (value equality)
    (== :JANUARY month))      ;; true (value equality)

• Added CIDR based IP address ACLs to the IPC server.

Bugs

• Fixed Venice launcher edge case with the -file option that was accidentally passed down to the
  the script

Release 1.12.83

[1.12.83] - 2026-03-05

Enhancements

• Added sessions to the remote REPL connections to support current namespace and dynamic vars.
  All forms evaluated within a session run within the same session related thread on the server.
  The session implicitly starts with the !remote command and stops with the !local command.

• The finder function marks now dynamic vars as 'dynamic' in the generated output

Updated dependencies:

• Bumped VAVR from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1

Release 1.12.82

[1.12.82] - 2026-02-26

Enhancements

• Support remote REPL connections to a running Venice program for interactive inspection and control.

• Improved REPL documentation

Bugs

• Fixed the :ansi progress demos: (do (load-module :ansi) (ansi/demo))

Decommissioned

• Removed !env command from the REPL.
  The functionality is available as Venice (finder ...) function

Release 1.12.81

[1.12.81] - 2026-02-22

Enhancements

• Added the setup option -minimal to setup a minimal REPL

$ java -jar venice-1.12.81.jar -setup -minimal -colors -dir ./repl

     ├── repl.env
     └── repl.sh

• Mac OSX: The REPL installer creates now an additional repl.command file.
  While the repl.sh shell script must be executed from within a terminal,
  the repl.command shell script can be double-clicked in the OSX Finder
  to run.
  Note: repl.sh can be manually associated with the Terminal App to allow
  double click to run it

Release 1.12.80

[1.12.80] - 2026-02-14

Bugs

• Allow multiline single and triple quoted string literals in the REPL

  venice> (def x """
                 123
                 456
                 """)

          456")
