Camlp5 Version 7.13:
--------------------
* [03 Sep 20] Support for Ocaml 4.11.1.
Camlp5 Version 7.12:
--------------------
* [29 Apr 20] upgrade to minimal support for Ocaml 4.11.0
(specifically 4.11.0+dev2-2020-04-22). This does not provide
support for any new stuff in 4.11.0; indeed, stuff may break. This
is just minimal "build and bootstrap" support.
Changes include:
Camlp5 Version 7.01:
--------------------
* [26 Jun 17] Fixed bug in associativity of entry levels in extensible
grammars; was introduced by an old experiment, resulting a failure
in Coq test-suite/success/rewrite_strat.v.
* [26 Jun 17] Fixed bug: compilation failed while using OCaml versions
between 3.05 and 4.01.1, and jocaml versions.
Camlp5 Version 7.00:
--------------------
* [26 Jun 17] Release number is 7.00 instead of 6.18 because of big
improvements on extensible grammars which can use now limited and
full backtracking algorithms on demand.
* [16 Jun 17] Entry.parse_token has been renamed Entry.parse_token_stream.
* [04 Jun 17] Added limited backtracking (functional streams) to extensible
grammars. Can be set with "Grammar.parse_algorithm Functional" or by
setting the environment variable CAMLP5PARAM=f.
* [01 Jun 17] Backtrack parsing seems to work well now. Camlp5 and Coq can
be compiled using it by setting CAMLP5PARAM=b.
* [31 May 17] Fixed bug: Entry.parse_token did not accept backtrack parsing.
* [31 May 17] Fixed ocaml parsing for case of record {foo () with ...}.
* [31 May 17] Fixed bug backtrack parsing for function Entry.of_parser.
* [28 Apr 17] Updated for ocaml 4.04.2 which was missing.
* [07 Apr 17] Updated for ocaml trunk 4.06.0
* [19 Feb 17] Fixed bug: locations of all identifiers were missing
resulting of error messages giving "<none>" as source file name
and no line and column number in the source.
* [04 Jan 17] Updated for ocaml trunk 4.05.0
* [09 Dec 16] Fixed bug: was not compatible with ocaml compiled with
option -safe-string.
* [09 Dec 16] Fixed bug: make uninstall did not take DESTDIR into account.
* [07 Dec 16] Fixed bug virtual methods in signatures generated syntax
tree of virtual val. Bug notified by Kakadu.
Ex: "class foo : object method virtual bar : bool end"
* [07 Dec 16] Fixed bug not separated idents were not allowed in
'let open' constructs. Bug notified by Kakadu.
Ex: "let open Mod1.Mod2.Mod3 in ..."
* [06 Dec 16] Fixed bug dumping module definitions with constraints.
Bug notified by Kakadu.
Ex:
module type Item = sig type t end
module type Sig = sig type t module Node : Item end
module Make (S : Sig) : Sig with module Node = S.Node and type t = S.t
* [06 Dec 16] Fixed bug extra option word during pr_dump for optional args.
Bug notified by Kakadu.
Ex: "class t : ?name:string -> object end"
* [05 Dec 16] Fixed bug dumping of open object types. Bug notified by Kakadu.
Ex: "type t = <f:int; .. >"
* [05 Dec 16] Fixed bug dump parsetree without throughing away module type
annotation. Bug notified by Kakadu.
Ex: "module rec A : sig end = struct end"
* [28 Apr 16] Fixed problems of compatibility with previous versions of
ocaml.
* [23 Jan 16] Fixed bug on optional types (ocaml 4.02).
* [15 Jan 16] Fixed bug on methods wrongly interpreted as vals.
* [05 Jan 16] Updated for ocaml trunk 4.03.0
(git version be2a7e2f830911b331657b8cfa462f5219dfec5b)
* [26 Nov 15] Updated again for ocaml trunk current version (4.03.0).
* [23 Sep 15] Updated for ocaml trunk current version (4.03.0).
ocaml.mk. It was becoming more trouble than it was worth: only a minority
of packages used it, and it only made Makefiles more confusing.
(I've left out some packages: these will be updated forthwith)
There is one other change:
* [20 Apr 15] Accept 'fun/try' case list like the change of 22nd Apr 13
on 'match' in revised syntax, allowing them to write "|" .. "end" or
"[" .. "]", both being accepted.
Changes from 6.07 are:
* Updated for ocaml version 4.01.0
* Added 'MLast.loc_of_with_constr'.
* Fixed bug toplevel with revised syntax; "= 'a" was missing
in output in that example:
# module type A = sig module type S = 'a; end;
module type A = sig module type S; end
* Now accept lowercase ident for module types, like ocaml does.
Accepted also in revised syntax.
* (experimental) Now, in revised syntax, a "." followed by
a newline is interpreted as a ";", allowing to end phrases with ".".
Drawback: will syntax error when writing a record/module access in two
lines ending the first one with "." like:
foo.
bar
* Accept now "match with | | ... end" in revised syntax, with
a required "|" in the first case, as alternative syntax for match.
* Added function 'Pcaml.value greek_ascii_equiv' giving
an ascii equivalent to a greek (utf8) letter representing a type
parameter. E.g. 'a' for 'α', 'b' for 'β', and so on.
* Fixed bug no locations built in some cases of constructors.
* Fixed bug: in toplevel, the highlighting of errors did not work.
* Added option '-dquot' to specify the default quotation name.
and the ability to use "#option" directive with two parameters. Therefore,
we can use either (e.g.):
-dquot "expr"
in the command line of camlp5 or
#option "-dquot" "expr"
inside a file.
* Now 'make' displays a message how to compile, instead
of doing 'make out'. Old behaviour of 'make' must be now 'make out'.
* Now accept identifiers starting with a greek letter as variable names.
* Fixed bug: DEFINE FOO=32 while using pa_macro.cmo did not work
due to a bad order in grammar insertion.
* Fixed bug: parsing greek letters as type variable in
constructor declaration did not work when building Camlp5.
Camlp5 Version 6.06:
--------------------
* [01 Jun 12] Added compatibility with OCaml 4.00.0 and (incoming) 4.01.0.
* [18 Mar 12] Fixed bug in pr_o: [(let module M = ... in x); y] was
displayed without parentheses.
* [14 Mar 12] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.12.2.
* [02 Mar 12] Added compatibility with JoCaml 3.12.0 and 3.12.1.

Camlp5 Version 6.05:
--------------------
* [02 Mar 12] Added compatibility with JoCaml trunk.
* [02 Mar 12] Added option -oname in configure to change ocaml
command name. The bytecode compiler, native compiler and bytecode
runtime are respectively <oname>c, <oname>opt and <oname>run.
The default is 'ocaml', implying that the executables are ocamlc,
ocamlopt and ocamlrun. Setting it to 'jocaml', fo example, use
jocamlc, jocamlopt and jocamlrun.
Camlp5 Version 6.04:
--------------------
* [01 Mar 12] Added option -name in configure to change command name
useful to have transitional and strict versions installed with
different names. Default: camlp5.
* [01 Mar 12] The default mode at configuration time is now 'strict'.
Camlp5 Version 6.03:
--------------------
* [09 Jan 12] Updated compatibility with OCaml trunk version (3.13.0).
Camlp5 Version 6.02.3:
----------------------
* [20 Oct 11] Updated compatibility with OCaml current version 3.13.0.
* [20 Sep 11] Added missing syntax "_" in ending patt records (rev: "_ = _").
ep 11] Fixed bug pattern -1L was refused in normal syntax.
* [21 May 11] Fixed bug impacting files using q_ast.cmo extension (bad ast).
* [03 May 11] Fixed bug: lexeme errors in revised syntax + utf8.
* [24 Mar 11] Fixed bug: M.(a+b) was refused in normal syntax.
* [16 Mar 11] Fixed bug: incorrect compilation of label patterns of the
form ~a:b (or ~{a = b} in revised syntax) in class declarations.
* [16 Mar 11] Fixed bug: error while printing label patterns ~a:b with
pr_o.cmo (error message "labels not pretty printed (in patt)").
Camlp5 Version 6.02.2:
----------------------
* [15 Mar 11] Fixed bug: bad AST generated for class identifier prefixed
by a module.
* [15 Mar 11] Fixed differences of locations between OCaml and camlp5o (e.g.
in .annot files)
* [17 Feb 11] Pretty module now considers strings as utf8 encoded (impacts
computation of strings lengths).
* [04 Feb 11] Revised syntax: completed syntax multi labels, ~{x=y; z=t}
(equivalent to ~{x=y} ~{z=t}) in patterns (in 6.02.1 was implemented
only in expressions).
* [28 Jan 11] Added installed module 'Reloc': relocations and equalities
over syntax trees.
* [26 Jan 11] Fixed bug in camlp5o.opt: did not accept '$' as token.
* [18 Jan 11] Fixed bug: private flags in type manifest were not correctly
treated.
* [06 Dec 10] Fixed bug in pr_o.cmo: label expressions were not correctly
pretty printed: f ~a gave f a.
Camlp5 Version 6.02.1:
----------------------
* [05 Dec 10] In module Grammar.Entry.print, added extra parameter ppf
to print in other formatter than (the default) stdout.
* [21 Nov 10] Revised syntax: added syntax multi labels, ~{x=y; z=t}
equivalent to ~{x=y} ~{z=t}
* [16 Nov 10] Updated compatibility with OCaml version 3.13.0-gadt.
Camlp5 Version 6.02:
--------------------
* [12 Nov 10] Added compatibility with OCaml GADT version.
* [12 Nov 10] pa_macro: added ability to use ELSIFDEF in match cases (the
ending ELSE part being still optional).
* [08 Nov 10] Fixed bugs 1/ in pa_o: !Foo.bar was interpreted as (!Foo).bar
instead of !(Foo.bar) 2/ in top/camlp5_top.cma: the file ast2pt.cmo was
missing.
Camlp5 Version 6.01:
--------------------
* [03 Nov 10] Added in revised syntax for labels ~{lab x = y} as shortcut
for ~{lab = fun x -> y}.
* [30 Oct 10] Fixed bug in 'configure': option -libdir did not work.
Camlp5 Version 6.00:
--------------------
* [28 Oct 10] Updated compatibility with OCaml trunk version (3.13.0).
* [01 Oct 10] Make compilation with "make -j" (parallel make) work.
* [29 Sep 10] Fixed bug when using constructors named 'True' and 'False'.
* [24 Sep 10] Fixed many bugs of parsing comments (typically about quotes).
* [23 Sep 10] Fixed bug in pretty printing comments containing '"'.
* [22 Sep 10] Fixed bug bad result of unary minus functions.
* [22 Sep 10] Fixed bug in printing parameters of types of 'with constraint'.
* [22 Sep 10] Fixed bug in revised syntax for class_types. Now application.
does not need parenthesis any more (like for other entries of that kind).
* [19 Sep 10] In grammars, added list with separator with optional ending
separator (LIST0 .. SEP OPT_SEP and LIST1 .. SEP OPT_SEP).
* [19 Sep 10] Completed missing statements in particular in objects,
classes, and first class modules.
* [08 Sep 10] Added option '-flag O' of pr_r.cmo and pr_o.cmo which
add location comments in the output.
* [08 Sep 10] Added new chapters in the documentation:
- Directives
- Redefining OCaml syntax
* [08 Sep 10] Fixed option '-flag E' (equilibrate cases) of pr_r.cmo and
pr_o.cmo which did not work.
* [06 Sep 10] Changed revised syntax of 'inherit something [params]'
into 'inherit [params] something' (like in normal syntax).
* [06 Sep 10] Added missing statements:
- 'module type of' as module type,
- '(module ... : ...)' as expression,
- '(val ...)' ('value' in revised syntax) as module expression.
* [02 Sep 10] Added directive "#option" (in files, not in toplevel).
* [02 Sep 10] pa_macro.cmo: phrases inside IFDEF statements now are
implementation or interface items, which means:
- ability to use directives which are, therefore, conditional.
- in revised syntax must end with semicolon (incompatibility with
previous versions of Camlp5 where these semicolons are syntax
errors).
- in revised syntax, ability to put several phrases without having
to use "declare .. end".

of OCaml compilers.
* [20 Aug 10] Added compatibility for OCaml version 3.11.3.
* [18 Aug 10] Added function "get" in library module "Ploc", and a
statement "lprintf" similar to "pprintf" added by the syntax
extension kit "pa_pprintf.cmo".
This version is compatible with the ocaml 3.12.0 in tree
Fix pkg/43956 and pkg/43957
Changes:
Camlp5 Version 5.15:
* [09 Aug 10] Updated compatibility for OCaml current version 3.12.1.
* [09 Aug 10] Upgraded compatibility for OCaml released version 3.12.0.
* [29 Jul 10] Added ability to write AST quotations with a colon before
the '<' (e.g. "<:expr:< foo >>") which, in pattern position, generates
a binding of the variable "loc" at the top node:
1/ normal usage (still working):
"fun [ <:expr< x >> -> 0 ]"
which is equivalent to:
"fun [ MLast.ExLid _ (Ploc.VaVal "x") -> 0 ]
2/ new usage:
"fun [ <:expr:< x >> -> 0 ]"
which is equivalent to:
"fun [ MLast.ExLid loc (Ploc.VaVal "x") -> 0 ]
* [21 Jun 10] Added compatibility for OCaml trunk version 3.13.0.
* [29 Apr 10] Fixed bug in pr_depend.cmo: a.B.c did not add module B.

* [28 Apr 10] Updated compatibility for OCaml current version 3.12.0.
* [31 Mar 10] Fixed bug in pr_o.cmo: error message when using "#use"
The update lets camlp5 and what depends on it work with the updated ocaml.
Changes:
* Added compatibility with OCaml 3.11.2.
* Updated compatibility with OCaml 3.12.0.
* Added 'lazy' patterns (added in OCaml version 3.11).
* Fixed bug in pr_r.cmo: did not always break after "in" (in
"let..in" statements) even with -flag l.
* Fixed bug in pr_r.cmo: missing case "#use" for structure and
signature items.
Changes are:
- compatibility with recent versions of ocaml
- possible use of IFDEF and IFNDEF in record labels declarations
- addition of Plexer.utf8_lexing
Changes:
* [05 Jun 08] Changed all '#!/bin/bash" in shells scripts into '#!/bin/sh'
and changed all $(...) into `...` because there are compatibilities
problems according to Unix versions.
* [31 Mar 08] Fixed bug: "let f ~_x () = ()" generated syntax error.
* [31 Mar 08] Fixed bug: "x $ y" generated syntax error (normal syntax).
* [02 Jan 08] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.10.3.
Camlp5 Version 5.08:
--------------------
* [08 Feb 08] Fixed bug in normal syntax: a.{x,y} (access to big array) was
interpreted as a.{(x,y)}.
* [22 Jan 08] Added missing cases in printers pr_o and pr_r which displayed
the message "unable to print ...".
* [02 Jan 08] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.09.4 and 3.10.2.
* [21 Jan 08] Fixed bug under windows: the file META could not be build
if the library path name contained colons.
* [13 Jan 08] Added missing man page for camlp5sch (link to the same man
page as camlp5).
* [05 Jan 08] Added "pr_extprint.cmo", printer rebuilding EXTEND_PRINTER
statements in their original syntax.
* [05 Jan 08] Fixed bug in EXTEND_PRINTER statement: the match cases with
"when" did not work.
Camlp5 Version 5.07:
--------------------
* [02 Jan 08] Added "pprintf" statement to use the Camlp5 pretty print
system more easily and shortly.
* [27 Dec 07] Added function [Grammar.Entry.parse_all] returning the
list of all solutions when using the parsing algorithm [Backtracking].
Camlp5 Version 5.06:
--------------------
* [19 Dec 07] Upgraded to add compatibilitly with OCaml version 3.10.1.
Camlp5 Version 5.05:
--------------------
* [17 Dec 07] Added function [Pcaml.quotation_location] returning the
location of the quotation in the source in the context of a quotation
expander.
* [04 Dec 07] Added generation of file META for ocamlfind in directory
etc (built but not installed).
* [28 Nov 07] Upgraded to reflect changes done in parse tree in current
OCaml (version 3.11+dev6).
* [27 Nov 07] Fixed bug in installation. Some files where installed in
the bin directory instead of lib directory.
* [27 Nov 07] Fixed bug in parsing comments: comments containing '\' where
incorrectly parsed.
Camlp5 Version 5.04:
--------------------
* [24 Nov 07] Fixed bug in install under MSVC Windows: object and library

wrong (twice the normal value).
* [24 Nov 07] Added ability to change the parsing algorithm of extensible
grammars, with the function "Grammar.set_algorithm" whose parameter can
be "predictive" or "backtracking".
* [22 Nov 07] Added backtracking parsers. Functions defined in the module
Fstream (already containing functional streams and parsers). Syntax
added in pa_fstream.cmo (already containing syntax for functinal streams
and parsers). The new syntax uses "bparser" instead of "fparser" and
a backtracking parser returns, together with its result and its
remaining stream, the continuation to compute the next solution.
Camlp5 Version 5.03:
--------------------
* [20 Nov 07] Added commands mkcamlp5 and mkcamlp5.opt to build camlp5
executables with predefined loaded modules. Added installation of ocpp
with name ocpp5, instead of just ocpp.

correctly, in particular type expression (the version "camlp5o" without
".opt" however worked).
* [29 Oct 07] Added [Pcaml.inter_phrases], a way to set, by program,
the value of the "-sep" option of the printers kits.
* [28 Oct 07] Fixed bug in pa_fstream.cmo (functional parsers): the
keyword after "match with" was "parser" instead of "fparser" and
its code was wrong.
* [27 Oct 07] Added a default lexing buffer (in module [Plexing]) for
pa_lexer.cmo: then, the programmer does not need to write it any
more.
Camlp5 Version 5.02:
--------------------
* [14 Oct 07] Changed 'pa_lex.cmo' into 'pa_lexer.cmo' with a different
syntax (see the documentation).
* [14 Oct 07] In the EXTEND statement, added "LIKE s" as possible
level position to specify a level containing a rule containing "s"
in its keywords or tokens.
* [11 Oct 07] Rewritten parsers and printers in Scheme syntax. Deleted
old module Spretty.
Camlp5 is a preprocessor and pretty-printer for OCaml programs. It also
provides parsing and printing tools.
As a preprocessor, it allows to:
- extend the syntax of OCaml,
- redefine the whole syntax of the language.
As a pretty printer, it allows to:
- display OCaml programs in an elegant way,
- convert from one syntax to another,
- check the results of syntax extensions.
Camlp5 also provides some parsing and pretty printing tools:
- extensible grammars
- extensible printers
- stream parsers and lexers
- pretty print module
It works as a shell command and can also be used in the OCaml toplevel.
