             Relational types in Caml

We are pleased to announce the 0.7.0 version of Moca (a.k.a the Trianon
version), a general construction function generator for relational types in
Objective Caml.

In short:
=========

  Moca allows the high-level definition and automatic management of complex
invariants for data types; Moca also supports the automatic generation of
maximally shared values, independantly or in conjunction with the declared
invariants. In addition, a flag of the compiler triggers the generation of
memoized construction functions.

Moca's home page is http://moca.inria.fr/
Moca's source files can be found at

       http://moca.inria.fr/archive/moca-0.7.0.tgz

Moca is developped by Pierre Weis, Frédéric Blanqui, and Richard Bonichon
(see the file AUTHORS in the main directory of the distribution).

What's new in this release ?
============================

-- More stable code base: automatic test generation handles polymorphic types,
   support of OCaml V3.12 syntax, many rewrttings and simplifications.

-- API (new user's features and facilities):

   * Construction functions can be memoized:
     - new option -memo.
     - new option -memo-hash-table-size <int> to set the size of memoization
     tables for construction functions.

-- Internals: new compilation scheme for construction functions.
   * Compilation of listary generators rewritten from scratch.
   * Compilation scheme of unary and binary generators no more uses
   exceptions. A special ordering (per generator) is now generated to handle
   associative/commutative generators.

-- New web site and enhenced documentation; in particular, the Ocamldoc
   generated documentation is now available on the web site.

In conclusion:
==============

Anyhow, we think Moca is now mature and reliable. Do give it a try and
don't hesitate to send your constructive remarks and contributions !
