[#babashka](https://twitter.com/hashtag/babashka?src=hashtag_click&f=live) on
Twitter.

## 2021-09

- New babashka 0.6.0 released. Highlight: support for `java.net.http` which
  enables running [java-http-clj](https://github.com/schmee/java-http-clj) from
  source. The raw interop is the first part of a multi-stage plan to move all
  http related scripting towards `java.net.http` in favor of the other two
  solutions currently available in `bb`: `babashka.curl` and
  `org.httpkit.client`.

## 2021-08

- New babashka 0.5.1 released. Highlight: new `print-deps` command for printing
  a `deps.edn` map and classpath which includes all built-in deps. This can be
  used for editor tooling like Cursive and clojure-lsp, but also for migrating a
  babashka project to a Graal native-image project.
