+
+Clojure 1.11.4 is now available with the following fixes:
+
+* https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/CLJ-2145[CLJ-2145] Fix clearing of closed overs in `^:once` fns
+
+In some cases (see the ticket for details), functions that closed-over bindings in the outer scope were not clearing the use of those bindings in the inner function scope, which could potentially cause head-holding. These closed-overs are now clearable for garbage collection.
+
+* https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/CLJ-2865[CLJ-2317] `recur` to head of `:once` fn cancels once
+
+The `:once` function metadata is a hint to the compiler that a function will only be run once, and thus closed-over fields may be cleared. It is nonsensical to `recur` to the head of a `:once` fn (as that implies running it more than once), but this situation can arise through the use of macros that apply wrap arbitrary bodies in `:once` fns. In this case closed-over fields would sometimes be cleared prior to the recur. Now, use of `recur` to the head of a `:once` fn will ignore the `:once` flag and closed-over fields will not be cleared in the fn. Clearing of other local fields (not closed-over) is unchanged.

+
+Welcome to the Clojure Deref! This is a weekly link/news roundup for the Clojure ecosystem (feed: https://clojure.org/feed.xml[RSS]). Thanks to Anton Fonarev for link aggregation.
+
+== From the core
+
+This week we've released three things:
+
+* https://2024.clojure-conj.org/#/speakers[Clojure/conj 2024 Program]
+* https://clojure.org/news/2024/08/03/clojure-1-11-4[Clojure 1.11.4]
+* https://clojure.org/news/2024/08/03/clojure-1-12-0-rc1[Clojure 1.12.0-rc1]
+
+The final program for the Conj is still a work in progress and we hope to have a full schedule available in the next week or two. https://ti.to/nubank/clojureconj-2024[Register now] to be there in Alexandria, Virginia Oct 23-25th to talk about all things Clojure!
+
+This week we've been focused on some issues with locals clearing of closed-over fields and that work has been released in 1.12.0-rc1 and backported to 1.11.4. See the 1.11.4 release notes for the details.
+
+At this point we consider 1.12.0 to be complete pending feedback from the community. This is your last chance to try the new version before the official release - we welcome your feedback!
