["Frédéric Bour" <frederic.bour@lakaban.net>]

We are very pleased to announce the beta release of Merlin. Merlin is a tool
which providessmart completion, among other things, in your favorite editor.
As of today, Vim and Emacs are supported.

See it at work:

Its features include:
- completion of values, constructorsand modules based on local scope
- retrieving type of identifiers and/or expressions under cursor
- integration of findlib to manage buildpath
- highlighting of syntax errors, type errors and warnings inside the editor
- to a certain amount, resilience to syntax and type errors

It works only with Ocaml 4.00.1 (may works with newer versions).

If you happen to have an opam installation with the right version
(opam switch 4.00.1), you can try it right away with:

$ opam remote add kiwi http://kiwi.iuwt.fr/~asmanur/opam/.git 
<http://kiwi.iuwt.fr/%7Easmanur/opam/.git>
$ opam install merlin
