[Caml-list] [ANN] OASIS v0.4.0

[Sylvain Le Gall]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce that OASIS v0.4.0 has been released.

This new release contains a lot of fixes contributed by users who
kindly send me back their patches and pull-request.

* Migrate the source repository to https://github.com/ocaml/oasis
* Fix a lot of code style issues (e.g. blank at the end of the line)
and create a test to check that the style of generated files is
correct. Some related tools has been fixed asi well, for the best
formatting use ocamlmod >= 0.0.7 and ocaml-data-notation >= 0.0.10.
* Port all tests to OUnit 2.0, which allows to run all tests faster.
* Run some tests with a fake bytecode only setup, so that we can
always check that bytecode and nativecode tests are passing.  (Closes:
#1306)
* Fix a missing dependency on ocamlbuild package and inclusion of
ocambuildlib.cma in builtin-plugins.cma.

* Introduce a framework to create features.
 * Add fields AlphaFeatures and BetaFeatures to list the experimental
features you want to use in your _oasis
 * Using AlphaFeatures and BetaFeatures is only allowed if OASISFormat
is set to the latest OASIS version. There is no backward compatiblity
for experimental features. For example, if you are using OASIS 0.4.X,
OASISFormat must be set to 0.4.
* AlphaFeatures represents features not fully completed that maybe
very unstable, quickly evolving and even removed in future release.
* BetaFeatures represents features almost finished that needs to
mature a bit before being published.
