Hard fail when upgrading to 0.9.0 from 0.8.29

[light-matters]

App won't start when using a version later than 0.8.29:
Exception in thread "main" Syntax error macroexpanding at (datalevin/compress.clj:1:1).

Narrowed it down to the change between 0.8.29 and 0.9.0.
Here are my deps, which are basically a slightly modified version of the kit project.

The project is under udub.ourstory (for trace context).

Hope this helps; more details available on request!

Edit: shortened stack trace (as it's not relevant anymore)

You need to upgrade the database, you can follow the instructions here. HTH!

[light-matters]

Arg, I wondered if it would be something like that as soon as I'd submitted it. Should have thought before typing. Apologies and thanks!

[huahaiy]

Was the upgrade successful?

[bzg]

I don't know about the OP but I upgraded a small db from 0.8.25 to 0.9.5 with no problem.

I believe the upgrade instructions could be made more prominent in the documentation: or perhaps mentioned in the release notes for minor releases?

[huahaiy]

Done.

[huahaiy]

Assuming this resolved.
