[Caml-list] [ANN] fmt 0.7.0

[Daniel Bünzli]

Hello, 

I'd like to announce the first release of fmt which should be available shortly in opam. 

Quickly, the Format module is a good tool for pleasant printf debugging, installing custom printers for your types in the toplevel or rendering text for command line tools. However the API is terrible and very verbose. 

Fmt simply provides you a few combinators and shortcuts to quickly devise your own pretty-printers and dump the data structures of the standard library.

Here's the blurb:

  Fmt exposes combinators to devise `Format` pretty-printing functions.

  Fmt depends only on the OCaml standard library. The optional Fmt_tty 
  library that allows to setup formatters for terminal color output depends 
  on the Unix library. Fmt is distributed under the BSD3 license.

Thanks to Gabriel Radanne for his feedback and patches.

Best,

Daniel
