clj-refactor.el 4.0 marks the first major update in nearly five years, introducing significant user-facing improvements and restoring the long-awaited dependency hot-loading feature. The release modernizes the toolset by replacing the hydra dependency with a new transient menu and enhances safety through previewable diffs for project-wide refactorings.
Background

The Clojure ecosystem has seen shifts in tooling preferences, with clojure-lsp gaining prominence, making this update a significant milestone for the traditional Emacs-based workflow.
