Subject: [Caml-list] [ANN] Cmdliner 1.0.0
Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2017 00:27:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9D1BF6ADFBF84B09B8C1EABC8B204799@erratique.ch> (raw)

Hello,  

It's my pleasure to announce the release of cmdliner 1.0.0. 

One important notice for all users. The argument converter type will become 
abstract in the next major release, please make sure to migrate your code to use the 
constructors/destructors of the Arg module to minimize breakage in the future.

For the rest all the details are in the release notes [0], here's an abridged view:

* Few breaking API changes but I suspect most users won't be affected.
* Internal sanitization and modularization which hopefully now makes the code 
   readable and will ease further developments. 
* Documentation language sanitization.
* Additions to reduce boilerplate and ease the documentation of your 
  tool (e.g. support for documenting exit statuses). 
* Additions for better composition with Pervasives.exit and the new 
  `result` type of the stdlib.
* End-user error reporting improvements.
* Relicense from BSD3 to ISC.

Cmdliner is an ISC licensed library for the declarative definition of command line interfaces.
