Proust).
* Don't call Unix.set_nonblock or Unix.clear_nonblock unnecessarily on
some fds (#356, David Sheets).
* Lwt_unix.sleep and Lwt_unix.timeout returning too early when using
libev (#433, Stijn Devriendt).
* Lwt_sequence.fold_r iterating the wrong way in some cases (#405,
Stijn Devriendt).
* Build conflicts in some cases due to duplicate cst_to_constr
function (#362, J?r?mie Dimino).
* Don't use deprecated readdir_r system call (#430, Rapha?l Proust).
====== Miscellaneous ======
* The Lwt core, lwt.ml, has been thoroughly refactored and commented
(#354, reviewed Gabriel Radanne, Edwin T?r?k, Rapha?l Proust, Jan
Doms, Fabian Hemmer, Sebastien Mondet, Simon Cruanes, Anil
Madhavapeddy, Pierre Chambart, and many others).
* Lots of tests for most of the Lwt core (#339, #389, #392, #440,
#448, #450, Joseph Thomas, Ryan Slade).
* Documentation fixes (including by Joseph Thomas, Rapha?l Proust,
Richard Degenne, Stavros Polymenis).
* Contributing documentation (#379).
* Massively adjust whitespace for legibility (#400, #409, #416,
Richard Degenne).
* Improvements to CI (Etienne Millon, Raphael Rafatpanah, Zack Coker,
Yotam Barnoy).
* The additional packages lwt_ssl, lwt_react, lwt_glib get new minor
releases, the change being new Jbuilder build systems (#374, Andrew
Ray).
===== 3.0.0 (2017-04-10) =====
====== Breaking ======
* These changes were originally announced in release 2.7.0 (#308).
* Lwt_engine.libev now has an optional argument for selecting the libev back
end (#269, #294, Jeremy Yallop).
* Lwt_io.establish_server has been changed to make it more difficult to leak
file descriptors (#258, #260).
* Lwt_io.shutdown_server now evaluates to a promise, which completes when the
listening socket's close(2) operation completes (#259).
* Lwt_unix.bind now evaluates to a promise, because the bind(2) system call
can block for Unix domain sockets (#296, requested David Sheets).
* ocamlfind packages lwt.react, lwt.ssl, lwt.glib are replaced by lwt_react,
lwt_ssl, lwt_glib. These have been separate OPAM packages, under those
names, since 2.7.0 (#301).
homepage URL. Changes include:
Add support for OCaml 4.05.0.
Use the ocaml-migrate-parsetree library to support multiple versions of OCaml.
Fix comparison order of fields in records (#136).
Silence an unused rec flag warning in generated code (#137).
Monomorphize comparison function for builtin types (#115)
Raise an error when type nonrec is encountered (#116).
Display an error message when dynamic package loading fails.
Add a with_path option to @@deriving to skip the module path in generated code (#120).
The homepage for the project has now moved to: https://github.com/ocaml-ppx/ppx_deriving
1.0+beta13 (05/09/2017)
Generate toplevel html index for documentation (#224, Thomas Gazagnaire)
Fix recompilation of native artifacts. Regression introduced in the last version (1.0+beta12) when digests replaces timestamps for checking staleness (#238, David Allsopp)
1.0+beta12 (18/08/2017)
Fix the quoting of FLG lines in generated .merlin files (#200, Marcello Seri)
Use the full path of archive files when linking. Before jbuilder would do: -I <path> file.cmxa, now it does -I <path> <path>/file.cmxa. Fixes#118 and #177
Use an absolute path for ppx drivers in .merlin files. Merlin <3.0.0 used to run ppx commands from the directory where the .merlin was present but this is no longer the case
Allow to use jbuilder install in contexts other than opam; if ocamlfind is present in the PATH and the user didn't pass --prefix or --libdir explicitly, use the output of ocamlfind printconf destdir as destination directory for library files (#179, Francois Bobot)
Allow (:include ...) forms in all *flags fields (#153, David Allsopp)
Add a utop subsommand. Running jbuilder utop in a directory builds and executes a custom utop toplevel with all libraries defined in the current directory (#183, Rudi Grinberg)
Do not accept per_file anymore in preprocess field. per_file was renamed per_module and it is planned to reuse per_file for another purpose
Warn when a file is both present in the source tree and generated by a rule. Before, jbuilder would silently ignore the rule. One now has to add a field (fallback) to custom rules to keep the current behavior (#218)
Get rid of the deprecated-ppx-method findlib package for ppx rewriters (#222, fixes#163)
Use digests (MD5) of files contents to detect changes rather than just looking at the timestamps. We still use timestamps to avoid recomputing digests. The performance difference is negligible and we avoid more useless recompilations, especially when switching branches for instance (#209, fixes#158)
1.0+beta11 (21/07/2017)
Fix the error message when there are more than one <package>.opam file for a given pacakge
Report an error when in a wrapped library, a module that is not the toplevel module depends on the toplevel module. This doesn't make as such a module would in theory be inaccessible from the outside
Add ${SCOPE_ROOT} pointing to the root of the current scope, to fix some misuses of ${ROOT}
Fix useless hint when all missing dependencies are optional (#137)
Fix a bug preventing one from generating META.pkg.template with a custom rule (#190)
Fix compilation of reason projects: .rei files where ignored and caused the build to fail (#184)
Bug Fixes
* Calling the deprecated request.getfuncargvalue() now shows the source of the call.
* Allow tests declared as @staticmethod to use fixtures.
* Fixed edge-case during collection: attributes which raised pytest.fail when accessed would abort the entire collection.
* Fix ReprFuncArgs with mixed unicode and UTF-8 args.
Improved Documentation
* In examples on working with custom markers, add examples demonstrating the usage of pytest.mark.MARKER_NAME.with_args in comparison with pytest.mark.MARKER_NAME.__call__
* In one of the simple examples, use pytest_collection_modifyitems() to skip tests based on a command-line option, allowing its sharing while preventing a user error when acessing pytest.config before the argument parsing.
Trivial/Internal Changes
* Fixed minor error in ‘Good Practices/Manual Integration’ code snippet.
* Fixed typo in goodpractices.rst.
* Improve user guidance regarding --resultlog deprecation.
This release improves the reduction of examples involving floating point numbers to produce more human readable examples.
It also has some general purpose changes to the way the minimizer works internally, which may see some improvement in quality and slow down of test case reduction in cases that have nothing to do with floating point numbers.
3.24.0:
Hypothesis now emits deprecation warnings if you use example() inside a test function or strategy definition (this was never intended to be supported, but is sufficiently widespread that it warrants a deprecation path).
U-Boot is a bootloader for embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and
several other processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application code.
This package provides U-Boot for the NVIDIA Jetson TX1.
** New features
When one file is a prefix of the other, cmp now appends the shorter
file's size to the EOF diagnostic.
** Bug fixes
Using an invalid regular expression with --ignore-matching-lines=RE (-I)
no longer causes stack overflow. Before, with an invocation like the
following, diff would diagnose the error, but would still proceed to
blow the stack: diff -Ia -I\\ <(echo) <(echo b)
[bug introduced in 2.9]
diff no longer mishandles line numbers exceeding 2**31 on Mingw-w64.
the ---presume-output-tty (ostensibly test-only) option would cause
diff --color to read an uninitialized variable
[bug introduced in 3.4]
** Performance changes
diff's default algorithm has been tweaked to deal better with larger
files, reversing some of the changes made in diffutils-3.4.
Package changes: PLIST cleanup, and added some options for native
compilation.
Changes from ocaml 4.04.2 include (MPR and GPR changed to M and G to not
trigger our CVS hooks):
(Changes that can break existing programs are marked with a "*")
### Language features:
### Code generation and optimizations:
- M#7201, G#954: Correct wrong optimisation of "0 / <expr>"
and "0 mod <expr>" in the case when <expr> was a non-constant
evaluating to zero
(Mark Shinwell, review by Gabriel Scherer, Leo White and Xavier Leroy)
- M#7357, G#832: Improve compilation time for toplevel
include(struct ... end : sig ... end)
(Alain Frisch, report by Hongbo Zhang, review by Jacques Garrigue)
- M#7533, G#1173: Correctly perform side effects for certain
cases of "/" and "mod"
(Mark Shinwell, report by Jan Mitgaard)
- G#504: Instrumentation support for fuzzing with afl-fuzz.
(Stephen Dolan, review by Alain Frisch, Pierre Chambart, Mark
Shinwell, Gabriel Scherer and Damien Doligez)
- G#863, G#1068, G#1069: Optimise matches with constant
results to lookup tables.
(Stephen Dolan, review by Gabriel Scherer, Pierre Chambart,
Mark Shinwell, and bug report by Gabriel Scherer)
- G#1150: Fix typo in arm64 assembler directives
(KC Sivaramakrishnan)
### Runtime system:
- M#385, G#953: Add caml_startup_exn
(Mark Shinwell)
- M#7423, G#946: expose new exception-raising functions
`void caml_{failwith,invalid_argument}_value(value msg)`
in addition to
`void caml_{failwith,invalid_argument}(char const *msg)`.
The previous functions would not free their message argument, so
were inconvient for dynamically-allocated messages; the messages
passed to the new functions are handled by the garbage collector.
(Gabriel Scherer, review by Mark Shinwell, request by Immanuel Litzroth)
- M#7557, G#1213: More security for getenv
(Damien Doligez, reports by Seth Arnold and Eric Milliken, review by
Xavier Leroy, David Allsopp, Stephen Dolan, Hannes Mehnert)
- G#795: remove 256-character limitation on Sys.executable_name
(Xavier Leroy)
- G#891: Use -fno-builtin-memcmp when building runtime with gcc.
(Leo White)
### Type system:
- M#6608, G#901: unify record types when overriding all fields
(Tadeu Zagallo and Gabriel Scherer, report by Jeremy Yallop,
review by David Allsopp, Jacques Garrigue)
* M#7414, G#929: Soundness bug with non-generalized type variables and
functors.
(compatibility: some code using module-global mutable state will
fail at compile-time and is fixed by adding extra annotations;
see the Mantis and Github discussions.)
(Jacques Garrigue, report by Leo White)
### Compiler user-interface and warnings:
- M#7050, G#748 G#843 G#864: new `-args/-args0 <file>` parameters to
provide extra command-line arguments in a file -- see documentation.
User programs may implement similar options using the new `Expand`
constructor of the `Arg` module.
(Bernhard Schommer, review by J?r?mie Dimino, Gabriel Scherer
and Damien Doligez, discussion with Alain Frisch and Xavier Leroy,
feature request from the Coq team)
- M#7137, G#960: "-open" command line flag now accepts
a module path (not a module name)
(Arseniy Alekseyev and Leo White)
- M#7172, G#970: add extra (ocamlc -config) options
int_size, word_size, ext_exe
(Gabriel Scherer, request by Daniel B?nzli)
- M#7315, G#736: refine some error locations
(Gabriel Scherer and Alain Frisch, report by Matej Ko??k)
- M#7473, G#1025: perform proper globbing for command-line arguments on
Windows
(Jonathan Protzenko)
- M#7479: make sure "ocamlc -pack" is only given .cmo and .cmi files,

compiler when called to compile third-party C source files
(S?bastien Hinderer, review by Adrien Nader and David Allsopp)
- G#915: fix -dsource (pprintast.ml) bugs
(Runhang Li, review by Alain Frisch)
* G#933: ocamlopt -p now reports an error on platforms that do not
support profiling with gprof; dummy profiling libraries are no longer
installed on such platforms.
This can be tested with ocamlopt -config
(S?bastien Hinderer)
- G#1009: "ocamlc -c -linkall" and "ocamlopt -c -linkall" can now be used
to set the "always link" flag on individual compilation units. This
controls linking with finer granularity than "-a -linkall", which sets
the "always link" flag on all units of the given library.
(Xavier Leroy)
- G#1015: add option "-plugin PLUGIN" to ocamldep too. Use compilerlibs
to build ocamldep. Add option "-depend" to ocamlc/ocamlopt to behave
as ocamldep. Remove any use of ocamldep to build the distribution.
(Fabrice Le Fessant)
- G#1027: various improvements to -dtimings, mostly including time
spent in subprocesses like preprocessors
(Valentin Gatien-Baron, review by Gabriel Scherer)
- G#1098: the compiler now takes the boolean "OCAML_COLOR" environment
variable into account if "-color" is not provided. This allows users
to override the default behaviour without modifying invocations of ocaml
manually.
(Hannes Mehnert, Guillaume Bury,
review by Daniel B?nzli, Gabriel Scherer, Damien Doligez)

* M#7500, G#1081: Remove Uchar.dump
(Daniel B?nzli)
- G#760: Add a functions List.compare_lengths and
List.compare_length_with to avoid full list length computations
(Fabrice Le Fessant, review by Leo White, Josh Berdine and Gabriel Scherer)

- G#849: Expose a Spacetime.enabled value
(Leo White)
- G#885: Option-returning variants of stdlib functions
(Alain Frisch, review by David Allsopp and Bart Jacobs)

(this was a regression in 4.03)
(Florian Angeletti, review by Gabriel Scherer)
- G#1042: Fix escaping of command-line arguments in
Unix.create_process{,_env} under Windows. Arguments with tabs should now
be received verbatim by the child process.

### Debugging and profiling:
- M#7258: ocamldebug's "install_printer" command had problems with
module aliases
(Xavier Leroy)
- G#378: Add [Printexc.raise_with_backtrace] to raise an exception using
an explicit backtrace
(Fran?ois Bobot, review by Gabriel Scherer, Xavier Leroy, Damien Doligez,
Fr?d?ric Bour)

(Florian Angeletti)
- G#633: manpage and manual documentation for the `-opaque` option
(Konstantin Romanov, Gabriel Scherer, review by Mark Shinwell)
- G#751, G#925: add a HACKING.adoc file to contain various
tips and tricks for people hacking on the repository. See also
CONTRIBUTING.md for advice on sending contributions upstream.
(Gabriel Scherer and Gabriel Radanne, review by David Allsopp,
inspired by John Whitington)
- G#916: new tool lintapidiff, use it to update the manual with
@since annotations for API changes introduced between 4.00-4.05.
(Edwin T?r?k, review by Gabriel Scherer, discussion with Alain Frisch,
David Allsopp, S?bastien Hinderer, Damien Doligez and Xavier Leroy)
- G#939: activate the caml_example environment in the language
extensions section of the manual. Convert some existing code
examples to this format.
(Florian Angeletti)
- G#1082: clarify that the use of quoted string for preprocessed
foreign quotations still requires the use of an extension node
[%foo ...] to mark non-standard interpretation.
(Gabriel Scherer, request by Matthew Wahab in G#1066,
review by Florian Angeletti)
### Other libraries:

it previously raised an EPIPE error, it now returns 0 like other OSes
(Jonathan Protzenko, review by Andreas Hauptmann and Damien Doligez)
- G#650: in the Unix library, add `?cloexec:bool` optional arguments to
functions that create file descriptors (`dup`, `dup2`, `pipe`, `socket`,
`socketpair`, `accept`). Implement these optional arguments in the
most atomic manner provided by the operating system to set (or clear)
the close-on-exec flag at the same time the file descriptor is created,
reducing the risk of race conditions with `exec` or `create_process`
calls running in other threads, and improving security. Also: add a
`O_KEEPEXEC` flag for `openfile` by symmetry with `O_CLOEXEC`.
(Xavier Leroy, review by Mark Shinwell, David Allsopp and Alain Frisch,
request by Romain Beauxis)

### Compiler distribution build system: Makefile factorization
The compiler distribution build system (the set of Makefiles used to
build the compiler distribution) traditionally had separate Makefiles
for Unix and Windows, which lead to some amount of duplication and
subtle differences and technical debt in general -- for people working
on the compiler distribution, but also cross-compilation or porting to
new systems. During the 4.05 development period, S?bastien Hinderer
worked on harmonizing the build rules and merging the two build
systems.
* Some changes were made to the config/Makefile file which
is exported as $(ocamlc -where)/Makefile.config, and on
which some advanced users might rely. The changes are
as follows:
- a BYTERUN variable was added that points to the installed ocamlrun
- the PARTIALLD variable was removed (PACKLD is more complete)
- the always-empty DLLCCCOMPOPTS was removed
- the SHARED variable was removed; its value is "shared" or "noshared",
which duplicates the existing and more convenient
SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBRARIES variable whose value is "true" or "false".
Note that Makefile.config may change further in the future and relying
on it is a bit fragile. We plan to make `ocamlc -config` easier to use
for scripting purposes, and have a stable interface there. If you rely
on Makefile.config, you may want to get in touch with S?bastien Hinderer
or participate to M#7116 (Allow easy retrieval of Makefile.config's values)
or M#7172 (More information in ocamlc -config).
The complete list of changes is listed below.
