Official stable release announcements and updates from the OCaml compiler, OCaml infrastructure and the OCaml Platform Tools.
We are happy to announce the final release of opam 2.0.0.
A few weeks ago, we released a last release candidate to be later promoted to 2.0.0, synchronised with the opam package repository upgrade.
You are encouraged to update as soon as you see fit, to continue to get package updates: opam 2.0.0 supports the older formats, and 1.2.2 will no longer get regular updates. See the Upgrade Guide for details about the new features and changes.
The website opam.ocaml.org has been updated, with the full 2.0.0 documentation pages. You can still find the documentation for the previous versions in the corresponding menu.
Package maintainers should be aware of the following:
opam-publish (2.0.0)For custom repositories, the advice remains the same.
Installation instructions (unchanged):
From binaries: run
sh <(curl -sL https://opam.ocaml.org/install.sh)
or download manually from the Github "Releases" page to your PATH. In this case, don't forget to run opam init --reinit -ni to enable sandboxing if you had version 2.0.0~rc manually installed.
From source, using opam:
opam update; opam install opam-devel
(then copy the opam binary to your PATH as explained, and don't forget to run opam init --reinit -ni to enable sandboxing if you had version 2.0.0~rc manually installed)
From source, manually: see the instructions in the README.
We hope you enjoy this new major version, and remain open to bug reports and suggestions.

Dune 1.2.1 includes a few critical bug fixes over 1.2.0. Everyone is encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
On behalf of the dune team,
Happy hacking.
Enrich the dune Emacs mode with syntax highlighting and indentation. New
file dune-flymake to provide a hook dune-flymake-dune-mode-hook to enable
linting of dune files. (#1265, @Chris00)

ocamlmklib should use response files only if ocaml >= 4.08 (@1268, @bryphe)
On behalf of the dune team, I'm pleased to announce the release of Dune 1.2.0. This release contains many new goodies which I will not describe here. This is because Etienne Millon has prepared a blog post for this release: https://tarides.com/2018-09-06-dune-1-2-0.html
I'd also like to personally thank him for all work he's done to make this release so great.

@rgrinberg)
Fix a bug causing the toplevel env stanza in the workspace file to
be ignored when at least one context had (merlin) (#1114, @diml)
On behalf of the dune team, I'm proud to announce the 1.1.0 release of dune. This release contains a few interesting features that I won't describe in this post, because I've already written a dedicated blog post about this release: http://rgrinberg.com/posts/dune-upcoming-1-1/
Fix lookup of command line specified files when --root is given. Previously,
passing in --root in conjunction with --workspace or --config would not

now allowed in toplevel position in the workspace file, or for individual

Add (staged_pps ...) to support staged ppx rewriters such as ones
using the OCaml typer like ppx_import (#1080, fix #193, @jeremiedimino)
Use -opaque in the dev profile. This option trades off binary quality for
compilation speed when compiling .cmx files. (#1079, fix #1058, @rgrinberg)

@trefis for the bug report)
Add locations to errors when a missing binary in PATH comes from a dune file (#1096, fixes #1095, @rgrinberg)
%{lib:name:file} forms (#1022, fixes #1019, @diml)It is my pleasure to announce the 1.0.0 release of Dune!
Dune is a built system for OCaml and Reason projects. It aims at building things fast and providing a smooth user experience.
Dune 1.0.0 is now available on github and in opam.
This is a big milestone for the project as it is the first release using the new Dune name that the community helped to choose. Dune started about a year and a half ago as the more narrow scoped Jbuilder and as since then proven itself to be the right tool for the job.
A big part of the work for this release was preparing the project for long-term support. Dune is the kind of project that will pretty much continue to evolve forever: it needs to keep up with the OCaml compiler evolving, development workflows changing, new kinds of tools with specific needs, etc... While doing so, it also needs to offer stability so that projects released now will continue to build with future versions of Dune.
Meeting these two constraints is a challenge. However, we had to do this for the renaming: we changed many things in Dune using what we learned from the Jbuilder experience. Still, Dune is able to understand and build Jbuilder projects. The mechanism used to support both Jbuilder and Dune projects is fully generic and will be the basis for future evolution.
You can find the full list of changes and bug fixes since Jbuilder 1.0+beta20 on the github release page. Following is an overview of some the new features:
General cleanup of the syntax: less parentheses, better behaved variables
Introduction of a dune.configurator library to help projects with C stubs detect and query the environment
General improvement of the default behavior: more parallelism by default, development mode by default
Better support for changing the defaults: it is now possible to set the default flags or change what dune build does by default
Support for setting the build directory
Better support for expectation tests on Windows

The major change is a new protocol that moves process management inside Merlin codebase, saving a lot of pain in Emacs and Vim. There are not much new user facing features.
Windows support is not yet available.
In editor configuration is now done with merlin-flags, merlin-extensions and merlin-use in Emacs and :MerlinFlags, :MerlinExtensions and :MerlinPackages in Vim. In previous versions, enabled extensions, flags and packages were retained while now only the last command is remembered.
"M-x merlin-use a", "M-x merlin-use b" should be replaced by "M-x merlin-use a,b". ":MerlinUse a", ":MerlinUse b" should be replaced by ":MerlinUse a b".
The old protocol is still supported, so existing editor modes should not be affected (tested with Atom, Visual Studio and Sublime-text).
