Subject: [Caml-list] [ANN] Merlin 2.5.0 with OCaml 4.03.0 support
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2016 11:23:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a0bf356b-1489-d606-58ed-c26c4b2f93b8@lakaban.net> (raw)

Merlin is an editor-independent tool to ease the developement of 
programs in OCaml. It aims at providing features available in modern 
IDEs such as: "as you type" error reporting, auto completion, source 
browsing ("jump to definition"), extraction of type, ...

Merlin is available on opam and can be installed with `opam install 
merlin`. It can also be built from sources, available at 
https://github.com/the-lambda-church/merlin .

As always you can find a full changelog at 
https://github.com/the-lambda-church/merlin/blob/master/CHANGELOG , but 
the highlights are:

- Most notable is support for 4.03 and 4.02.
   Older versions are dropped.

- Patches on OCaml frontend were rewritten from scratch.
   Behavior of typechecker and ppx extensions should be closer to the 
compiler.

- Introduction of an infrastructure for plugging custom preprocessors.
   This feature is currently being used for Reason[1] support.
