Your application is live but it isn't quite behaving the way you expect - what do you do? You'd like to instrument the code, you'd like to be able to run parts of your production code in the live environment and look at the output, you might even like to replace functions with updated code.

You can run Clojure on Heroku and they've recentl[...]

With Clojure 1.4.0 available and Leiningen 2 in preview, I felt it was time to update FW/1 and the FW/1 template to have updated dependencies.

Clojure 1.4.0 has been released and it includes several nice enhancements and some bug fixes.
