Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[1.13.13] - 2026-07-xx

Enhancements

• Bumped the OpenAI Java library to v4.48.0

[1.13.12] - 2026-07-11

Enhancements

• OpenAI: simplified the client to use api and admin functions interchangeably. The OpenAI client knows when to use a supplied api or admin key.
• Improved OpenAI UsageCostJsonParserBug demo
• Bumped the OpenAI Java library to v4.42.0 with definitions for gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-terra, and gpt-5.6-luna

[1.13.11] - 2026-07-07

Enhancements

• OpenAI: Enhanced the Cost admin api for optional api key ids and project ids

[1.13.10] - 2026-07-06

Enhancements

• OpenAI: Simplified the creation of admin clients to use the Cost admin api
• OpenAI: Chat completion streaming can now include token usage information when requested.

[1.13.9] - 2026-07-04

Enhancements

• OpenAI: The minimum chunk size for chat completion streaming can now be configured to control the frequency of streaming callbacks. Because OpenAI streams individual tokens, callbacks may occur at a very high rate. To reduce this overhead, Venice can aggregate tokens into strings that meet a configurable minimum length before invoking the callback.
• OpenAI: added support for retrieving costs

[1.13.8] - 2026-06-28

Enhancements

• OpenAI: added support for streaming chat completion responses

[1.13.1] - 2026-04-30

Enhancements

• Added the functions str/markdown->text and str/markdown->ansi to render markdown to pure ascii or ansi text

• Added the function regex/pattern?

• Added module :swiss-cities that provides geo location and zip code data for swiss cities. It uses the public LV95 data from the official Swiss Topo dataset.

[1.13.0] - 2026-04-22

Enhancements

• The Jansi library jansi-2.4.1.jar is now included (repackaged) in the Venice jar!

Improvements

• Improved the built-in doc function

  The built-in doc function prints the markdown documentation now with a text renderer that uses ANSI styles (bold, italic, ...) when run within a REPL.

  Examples for using the doc function in the REPL: (doc), (doc doc), (doc map)

• Improved the remote REPL documentation

[1.12.90] - 2026-04-17

Enhancements

• The REPL start scripts support now custom Java VM options and system properties:

  Modify {REPL_HOME}/repl.env on Linux/MacOS, e.g.:

  export JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512M -Xmx2G -Dmyapp.language=en-us
  

  Modify {REPL_HOME}/repl.env.bat on Windows, e.g.:

  set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512M -Xmx2G -Dmyapp.language=en-us
  

• The REPL start scripts support now loadpaths defined in the REPL env file

  Modify {REPL_HOME}/repl.env on Linux/MacOS, e.g.:

  export LOADPATH=/data/scripts
  

  Modify {REPL_HOME}/repl.env.bat on Windows, e.g.:

  set LOADPATH=C:\data\scripts
  

Bugs

• Fixed the REPL internal manual restart, broken since 1.12.89

[1.12.89] - 2026-04-12

Enhancements

• Cheatsheet PDF: improved in-doc navigation. Added back navigation from functions to its module/section.

• The REPL launcher script is now relying on the JAVA_HOME environment variable to locate and start the REPL Java VM. The JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the directory where the Java JDK/JRE is installed.

  Starting the Java VM with "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" instead of just "java" (relying on the environment variable PATH) provides more flexibility.

  The REPL setup configures the JAVA_HOME in the repl.env (on Linux/MacOS) or repl.env.bat (on Windows) with the Java home used to run the setup.

[1.12.88] - 2026-04-06

Bugs

• Fixed the problem of not being able to run Maven from the :maven module.

  Added an additional Maven example to demo the installation of artifacts with transitive dependencies:

  (do
    (load-module :maven)
    (load-module :installer)
    (-> (maven/dependencies [ "com.openai:openai-java:4.30.0" 
                              "org.apache.poi:poi:5.4.0"
                              "org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:5.4.0"
                              "org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml-full:5.4.0" ] 
                            :scope :runtime 
                            :format :list
                            :print false)
        (installer/install :dir (repl/libs-dir)
                           :silent false)))
  

[1.12.87] - 2026-04-02

Bugs

• Fixed a flaw in the custom options processing for the launcher that has been introduced with the last version. The custom options '-dir' and '-minimal' have not been passed downstream to the executed script, should they have been used (all other custom options are fine).

  foo> java -jar venice-1.12.86.jar -file test.venice -dir . -mode test
  

[1.12.86] - 2026-04-01

Enhancements

• #10: Allow : and ; as load path separator on Linux and MacOS. On Windows ; is supported only due to the Windows' convention for absolute paths C:\users\foo.

• #11: Support Hybrid Encryption for remote REPL communication to achieve TLS/SSH grade security.

  • Level 0: Client authentication through principal/password, no encryption, no signing
  • Level 1: Client authentication from Level 0 with symmetric AES-256 GCM message encryption through symmetric session keys generated by Diffie-Hellman key exchange
  • Level 2: Hybrid encryption by signing the Diffie-Hellman key exchange with RSA asymmetric keys, thus preventing Man-in-the-Middle attacks. Messages are AES-256 GCM encrypted through symmetric session keys generated by Diffie-Hellman key exchange

  Note: Hybrid encryption can also be achieved by tunneling a Level 0 type remote REPL communication through an accordingly configured SSH tunnel.

Bugs

• Fixed a nasty Github CI unit test problem on the Ubuntu platform. Github CI Ubuntu silently changed to a Dash Shell when using the /bin/sh link, causing some test scripts with Bourne Shell syntax to fail. Switched to /bin/bash in the affected unit tests.

[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)

[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 script

[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

[1.12.82] - 2026-02-26

Enhancements

• Improved REPL documentation

Bugs

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

[1.12.81] - 2026-02-22

Enhancements

• #7: Added the setup option -minimal to setup a minimal REPL

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

     REPL_HOME

     │   └── repl.json
     ├── tmp
     ├── 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

[1.12.80] - 2026-02-14

Bugs

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

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

Enhancements

• Added explicit URL query parameter and fragment support for the HTTP Client. Parameters and fragments are encoded appropriately.

Bugs

• Fixed Maven download URL to "https://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/" instead of "https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/". Maven changed the latter URL to provide the current version only. This unfortunately broke the Venice setup in demo mode and the installation of additional 3rd party libs.

[1.12.47] - 2025-06-04

Enhancements

• Changed the publishing to Sonatype's Central Maven repository. The publishing process uses now more functionality from the 'maven-publish' plugin to create the Maven bundle and uploads the bundle explicitly via Sontatype's publisher REST api.

[1.12.45] - 2025-05-29

Enhancements

• Added support for static and dynamic Java MBeans. See :mbean module
• Updated the Maven publishing process by migrating to Sonatype’s new Central Maven repository, as the old OSSRH server was retired on June 30, 2025. Only a few viable alternatives were available. The Maven Publish plugin’s bridge mode did not work, Vanniktech’s plugin is incompatible with Java 8, and JReleaser is complex — especially when working with shadow JARs. As a result, the “bare metal” approach was chosen for its simplicity and the added benefit of avoiding credential disclosure to third-party components.

[1.9.20] - 2021-06-02

Added

• improvements to the online and cheatsheet documentation.

[1.8.13] - 2020-08-01

Added

• custom types support assoc to change one or multiple fields

Performance

• The GEOIP module country lookup is now lightning-fast. A country lookup for an IPv4 address on a 2017 MacBook Pro (Mac OSX, Core i7 2.8 GHz) takes ~1.1us based on actual MaxMind data. Venice uses now an ultra-fast trie concurrent data structure to store CIDR / country relations and do IP lookups. This impressively demonstrates the power of trie data structures used for this kind of problems.
• Improved function invocation efficiency

[1.8.12] - 2020-07-20

Added

• pre-loaded modules to honor the 'macroexpandOnLoad' flag (Java integration API)

• macro expansion of the core module at startup if up-front macro expansion is activated

Fixed

• macros to use the current namespace when expanding as opposed to functions that use the namespace they have defined in when executing the body.

  works fine in the REPL too. No double escape (print "abc\\ndef") needed anymore.
• JLine3 from throwing an IllegalStateException in the REPL while an escaped char is typed manually.

[1.8.11] - 2020-07-09

Added

• line joining for text blocks (backslash at the end of a line)
• support for private vars and functions. Private vars and functions may only be accessed from callers within the same namespace as the private var or function.
• a check to prevent the definition of private macros. Private macros open all sort of complex access verification problems when macros get nested.

[1.8.10] - 2020-06-18

Added

• an enhancement to the syntax highlighter to mark unprocessed forms like (inc 1) in (do (+ 1 2)) (inc 1) in the REPL with a special color. This feature also makes unbalanced parenthesis visible.
• a history file for the REPL commands
• a clear history command to the REPL

Fixed

• REPL to handle an edge case of unprocessed forms gracefully. E.g.: adding (+ 1 2)\n(+ 2 3) with copy/paste to the REPL.
• REPL to handle [ctrl-c] gracefully when the user interrupts the REPL while reading user input

Changed

• exit from REPL with command !q or !quit

[1.8.9] - 2020-06-13

Added

• deftype-of validation with predicate functions as an alternative to use assert

Fixed

• missing type check for 'deftype-of' builder
• 'deftype-or' with 'nil' choice (optional)

[1.8.8] - 2020-06-11

Changed

• REPL light color theme

[1.8.7] - 2020-06-10

Fixed

• Gradle Maven publication task to publish the shadow Jar instead of the plain Jar. The published releases 1.8.3 to 1.8.5 contained the plain Jar that missed the repackaged JLine and Vavr libs.

[1.8.6] - 2020-06-10

Fixed

• publish to Maven by falling back to manual publication. The Gradle Maven publication task published the plain Jar instead of the shadow Jar.

[1.8.5] - 2020-06-09

Changed

• REPL setup on Windows

Performance

• Refactored the Venice tokenizer to improve performance by another 30% by simplifying character look ahead. The Venice reader (parser) processes now 1'000'000 source lines per second measured for core.venice on a 2017 MacBook Pro (Mac OSX, Core i7 2.8 GHz), Java 8 server VM. See the JMH reader benchmark 'ReaderBenchmark.java'

[1.8.4] - 2020-06-03

Added

• improvements to syntax highlighting color themes
• function highlight to make syntax highlighting publicly available

Changed

• ansi module progress bars to reduce flickering on slower systems

Performance

• Refactored the Venice reader (parser) to not use regular expressions anymore for tokenizing and reading S-expressions, resulting in a 50% performance improvement. The Venice reader processes now 750'000 source lines per second measured for core.venice on a 2017 MacBook Pro (Mac OSX, Core i7 2.8 GHz), Java 8 server VM. See the JMH reader benchmark 'ReaderBenchmark.java'

Fixed

• sequential destructuring to return nil on empty varargs. E.g.: (let [[a b & c] '(1 2)] [a b c]) c must be nil and not an empty list
• an edge case (nil collection) with function apply. (apply + 1 2 nil) is equal to (apply + 1 2 []).

Changed

Added

• CallbackPrintStream class to simplify stdout/stderr capturing in some Java integration scenarios

Fixed

• functions keep, remove, every?, filter-k, and filter-kv to work with sets as predicate functions too
• a bug in the xchart module. With the introduction of formal types (Venice 1.7.17) the chart stylers need explicit casts, to circumvent a flaw in the XChart API.

Changed

[1.7.21] - 2020-04-11

Added

• function deref? to test if a value is dereferenceable to get the 'boxed' value

• new sandbox default rules due to introduction of formal types:
  • class:java.util.List:*
  • class:java.util.Set:*
  • class:java.util.Map:*

[1.7.17] - 2020-02-05

Added

• optional upfront macro expansion for all execution modes (REPL, Launcher, and embedding in Java)
• customizable mercator maps and rendering styles to mercator module

Changed

• OpenPDF libs to 1.3.12

Fixed

• Java Interop reflection to use the formal type of the value an instance method returns for subsequent calls on the returned object. This fixes the warnings "An illegal reflective access operation has occurred" on Java 9+. Future Java versions will even deny this access.

  E.g.: java.awt.BufferedImage::createGraphics() defines 'java.awt.Graphics2D' as the formal type in the API and returns a 'sun.java2d.SunGraphics2D' object that is in a private module.

[1.7.16] - 2020-01-21

Added

• performance improvements to function invocation
• throw an exception if a 'recur' expression is not in tail position
