[Caml-list] [ANN] Cmdliner 0.9.6

[Daniel Bünzli]

Hello,

I'd like to announce the release of cmdliner 0.9.6 — the did you mean ? edition — which should be available shortly in opam.

Thanks to Hugo Heuzard, this new version improves the support for parsing short options according to POSIX; specifying tar-like -xvzf is now possible (internal parser changes, nothing needs to change in your program). Hugo also made nice improvements to error messages, using edit distance search and other heuristics to trick you into thinking your programs have empathy and understanding for you.

Thanks to Romain Bardou it features improved Windows behaviour regarding help paging.  

There are also a few other changes, all the details are in the release notes:

Cmdliner is an OCaml module for the declarative definition of command line interfaces.
