Dear OCaml developers:

BuckleScript is an optimizing compiler for OCaml to generate readable JavaScript, it is open sourced by Bloomberg [1].

We are glad to announce 1.6.0, since release 1.5, we have seen significant external contributions https://github.com/bloomberg/bucklescript/pulse/monthly, some of them are even new to OCaml, this is fantastic! Also there is an small group of people who are actively working on bindings and utilties: https://github.com/BuckleTypes

This release is mostly bug fixes and performance improvement to the build system, most visible changes:

# Thanks to @glennsl, we have a nice documentation page for the Js bindings: http://bloomberg.github.io/bucklescript/api/Js.html (Note this is still work in progress)

# Much faster build even for `bsb -make-world`, the build system is now re-entrant.

# All error messages from the compiler and build are colorful

Documentation is available here: http://bloomberg.github.io/bucklescript/Manual.html

To install:

npm install -g bs-platform

Happy hacking in OCaml! -- Hongbo
