Merlin 5.0

We are pleased to announce the release of Merlin 5.0-502!

This release brings official support for OCaml 5.2. Substantial backend changes were required to adapt to this release, especially for features such as occurrences and get-documentation. Do not hesitate to report any suspicious behavior in the issue tracker!

This release also fixes a handful of issues, two of them improving the behaviour of Merlin's destruct feature.
