TL;DR

Carmine is fantastic Clojure client for Redis.

2.0.0 is a major release that introduces some breaking API changes, new features and another 20% performance improvement (now within less than 5% of the Java client).

Changes in Carmine 2.0

• 20% better performance
• Pluggable data compression and encryption based on Nippy 2.0
• Improvements to message queueing and distributed locking features
• Tundra, a way to plug a durable data store into Carmine for long-term data persistence

(sorry that the change log is so concise. We’ve asked Peter to keep a slightly more detailed one!)
