+**Blog posts**

+2025 Annual Funding Report 2. Published May 5, 2025.  
+
+Hello friends! Here's an update on my **March-April 2025 Clojurists Together** work.  
+
+### CIDER  
+- We just published a huge CIDER [**1.18**](https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C015AL9QYH1/p1746007257709719) release that I spent two months working on. It is packed with features to the brim! See the full list of changes in the announcement.  
+- 150 commits and 64 PRs accross 6 repositories.  
+- Auxiliary releases: cider-nrepl 0.52.1 -> [0.55.7](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider-nrepl/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#0557-2025-04-29), Orchard 0.30.1 -> [0.34.3](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/orchard/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#0343-2025-04-28).  
+
+### Compliment  
+
+- New release: [0.7.0](https://github.com/alexander-yakushev/compliment/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#070-2025-03-25).  
+- New feature: priority-based candidate sorting.  
+
+### Maintenance  
+
+- Started testing all of the projects I maintain again JDK24.  
+- Added support for JDK24 in Virgil ([0.4.0](https://github.com/clj-commons/virgil/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#040-2025-03-27))  <br>

+2025 Annual Funding Report 2. Published April 30, 2025.  
+
+A big thanks to [Clojurists Together](https://www.clojuriststogether.org/), [Nubank](https://nubank.com.br/), and [other sponsors](https://www.taoensso.com/sponsors) of my open source work! I realise that it's a tough time for a lot of folks and businesses lately, and that sponsorships aren't always easy 🙏  
+
+\- [Peter Taoussanis](https://www.taoensso.com)  
+
+Hi folks! 👋👋  
+
+Hope everyone's well, and those in Europe enjoying the first glimpses of actual ☀️ in a while :-)  
+
+### Recent work  
+
+#### Telemere: structured logs and telemetry for Clj/s  
+
+[Telemere](https://www.taoensso.com/telemere) **v1 stable** is now officially and finally [available](https://github.com/taoensso/telemere/releases/tag/v1.0.0)! 🍾🥳🎉  
+
+It was a lot of work to get here, but I'm happy with the results - and I'm very grateful for all the folks that have been patiently testing early releases and giving feedback 🙏  
+
+If you haven't yet had an opportunity to check out Telemere, now's a pretty good time.  
+
+It's basically a modern rewrite of [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre) that handles both **structured and unstructured logging** for Clojure and ClojureScript applications. It's small, fast, and *very* flexible.  
+
+I'll of course continue to support Timbre, but Telemere offers a lot of advantages, and [migration](https://github.com/taoensso/telemere/wiki/5-Migrating#from-timbre) is often pretty straight-forward.
+
+There's a couple video intros:
+
+- [Lightning tour](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOaZ0SgPVu4) (7 mins)  
+- [Full intro](https://youtu.be/-L9irDG8ysM?si=nu9qTubt6BE_7h7e)  (24 mins)  
+
+Telemere also has the most extensive [docs](https://github.com/taoensso/telemere/wiki/1-Getting-started) I've written for a library, including both:  
+
+- Lots of beginner-oriented stuff, and  
+- Advanced info for folks that might like to [write custom handlers](https://github.com/taoensso/telemere/wiki/4-Handlers#writing-handlers), [transforms](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#*xfn*), or [other tools](https://github.com/taoensso/telemere/wiki/8-Community#handlers-and-tools).  
+
+#### Tufte: performance monitoring for Clj/s  
+
+[Tufte](https://www.taoensso.com/tufte) **v3 RC1** is now also [available](https://github.com/taoensso/tufte/releases/tag/v3.0.0-RC1).  
+
+Tufte's been around for ages but recently underwent a **major overhaul** focused on improving usability, and interop with Telemere.  
+
+The two now share a **common core** for filtering and handling. This means that they get to share relevant concepts, terminology, capabilities, and config APIs.  
+
+The shared core also means wider testing, easier ongoing maintenance, and the opportunity for improvements to further cross-pollinate in future.  
+
+Performance has also been significantly improved, and the documentation greatly expanded. There's too much new stuff to mention here, but as usual please see the [release notes](https://github.com/taoensso/tufte/releases/tag/v3.0.0-RC1) for details.  
+
+#### Other stuff  
+
+Several other releases worth mentioning:  
+
+- [Truss](https://www.taoensso.com/truss) [v2.1.0](https://github.com/taoensso/truss/releases/tag/v2.1.0) - micro toolkit for Clojure/Script errors  
+- [http-kit](https://www.taoensso.com/http-kit) [v2.9.0-beta1](https://github.com/http-kit/http-kit/releases/tag/v2.9.0-beta1) - high performance HTTP client+server for Clojure  
+- [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre) [v6.7.0](https://github.com/taoensso/timbre/releases/tag/v6.7.0) - pure Clojure/Script logging library  
+- [Nippy](https://www.taoensso.com/nippy) [v3.5.0](https://github.com/taoensso/nippy/releases/tag/v3.5.0) - fast serialization for Clojure  
+
+I'll note that Telemere, Tufte, and Truss are now intended to form a sort of **suite of complementary observability tools** for modern Clojure and ClojureScript systems:  
+
+- [Telemere](https://www.taoensso.com/telemere) for logging, tracing, and general telemetry  
+- [Tufte](https://www.taoensso.com/tufte) for performance monitoring  
+- [Truss](https://www.taoensso.com/truss) for assertions and error handling  
+
+Together the 3x offer what I hope is quite a pleasant (and unique) observability story for Clojure/Script developers.  
+
+### Upcoming work  
+
+Next couple months I expect to focus on:  
+
+- Getting [Tempel](https://www.taoensso.com/tempel) v1 stable out (data security framework for Clojure)  
+- Significant work on [Sente](https://www.taoensso.com/sente) (realtime web comms for Clojure/Script)  
+
+After that, still need to decide. Might be additional stuff for Telemere, or gearing up for the first public release of [Carmine](https://www.taoensso.com/carmine) v4 (Redis client + message queue for Clojure).  
+
+Cheers everyone! :-)  <br>
