The changes between 1.3 and 1.4 are a lot smaller than between 1.2 and
1.3, fortunately :)

The contrib changes were a one-off, breaking the monolithic 1.2
contrib into smaller, well-maintained pieces, and there is already
automatic testing of those new libraries against 1.4.0 - see the
matrix tests here: http://build.clojure.org/

One thing you can do to help yourself in this is use lein-multi to
automatically run your application's tests against different versions.
At World Singles, we run all our tests against 1.3.0 (what we're using
in production), 1.4.0-master-SNAPSHOT and the latest "official" build
(currently beta1).
