• Clean up watch mode polling loop: improves signal handling and error handling during polling (#1912, fix #1907, fix #1671, @aalekseyev)

• Change status messages during polling to be one-line, so that the messages are correctly erased by ^K. (#1912, @aalekseyev)

• Add support for .cxx extension for C++ stubs (#1831, @rgrinberg)

• Add DUNE_WORKSPACE variable. This variable is equivalent to setting --workspace in the command line. (#1711, fix #1503, @rgrinberg)

• Add c_flags and cxx_flags to env profile settings (#1700 and #1800, @gretay-js)

• Format dune printenv output (#1867, fix #1862, @emillon)

• Add the (promote-into <dir>) and `(promote-until-clean-into

  )` modes for `(rule ...)` stanzas, so that files can be promoted in another directory than the current one. For instance, this is used in merlin to promote menhir generated files in a directory that depends on the version of the compiler (#1890, @jeremiedimino)

• Improve error message when dune subst fails (#1898, fix #1897, @rgrinberg)

• Add more GC counters to catapult traces (fix908, @rgrinberg)

• Configurator: deprecated query_expr and introduced query_expr_err which is the same but with a better error in case it fails. (#1886, @ejgallego)

• Make sure (menhir (mode promote) ...) stanzas are ignored when using --ignore-promoted-rules or -p (#1917, @jeremiedimino)

• Fix blank spaces causing parsing errors (@gpetiot, #97)

• Fix $ dune subst failing because the build directory wasn't set. (#1854, fix #1846, @rgrinberg)

• Fix the watch mode (#1837, #1839, fix #1836, @diml)

• Configurator: Fix misquoting when running pkg-config (#1835, fix #1833, @Chris00)

• Second step of the deprecation of jbuilder: the jbuilder binary now emits a warning on every startup and both jbuilder and dune emit warnings when encountering jbuild files (#1752, @jeremiedimino)

• Change the layout of build artifacts inside _build. The new layout enables optimizations that depend on the presence of .cmx files of private modules (#1676, @bobot)

• Fix merlin handling of private module visibility (#1653 @bobot)

• unstable-fmt: use boxes to wrap some lists (#1608, fix #1153, @emillon, thanks to @rgrinberg)

• Use lsof on macOS to implement --stats (#1636, fixes #1634, @xclerc)

• Fix preprocessing for libraries with (include_subdirs ..) (#1624, fix #1626, @nojb, @rgrinberg)

• Do not generate targets for archive that don't match the modes field. (#1632, fix #1617, @rgrinberg)

• Reimplement the core of Dune using a new generic memoization system (#1489, @rudihorn, @jeremiedimino)

• Add virtual libraries feature and enable it by default (#1430 fixes #921, @rgrinberg)

• Fix handling of Control+C in watch mode (#1678, fixes #1671, @jeremiedimino)

• Add locations to error messages where a rule fails to generate targets and rules that require files outside the build/source directory. (#1708, fixes #848, @rgrinberg)

• Let Configurator handle sizeof (in addition to negative numbers). (#1726, fixes #1723, @Chris00)

• Fix an issue causing menhir generated parsers to fail to build in some cases. The fix is to systematically use -short-paths when calling ocamlc -i (#1743, fix #1504, @jeremiedimino)

• Never raise when printing located errors. The code that would print the location excerpts was prone to raising. (#1744, fix #1736, @rgrinberg)

• Add a dune upgrade command for upgrading jbuilder projects to Dune (#1749, @jeremiedimino)

• When automatically creating a dune-project file, insert the detected name in it (#1749, @jeremiedimino)

• Add (implicit_transitive_deps <bool>) mode to dune projects. When this mode is turned off, transitive dependencies are not accessible. Only listed dependencies are directly accessible. (#1734, #430, @rgrinberg, @hnrgrgr)

• Add toplevel stanza. This stanza is used to define toplevels with libraries already preloaded. (#1713, @rgrinberg)

• Generate .merlin files that account for normal preprocessors defined using a subset of the action language. (#1768, @rgrinberg)

• Emit (orig_src_dir <path>) metadata in dune-package for dune packages built with --store-orig-source-dir command line flag (also controlled by DUNE_STORE_ORIG_SOURCE_DIR env variable). This is later used to generate .merlin with S-directives pointed to original source locations and thus allowing merlin to see those. (#1750, @andreypopp)

• Improve the behavior of dune promote when the files to be promoted have been deleted. (#1775, fixes #1772, @jeremiedimino)

• unstable-fmt: preserve comments (#1766, @emillon)

• Pass flags correctly when using staged_pps (#1779, fixes #1774, @jeremiedimino)

• Fix an issue with the use of (mode promote) in the menhir stanza. It was previously causing intermediate mock files to be promoted (#1783, fixes #1781, @jeremiedimino)

• unstable-fmt: ignore files using OCaml syntax (#1784, @emillon)

• Configurator: Add which function to replace the which command line utility in a cross platform way. (#1773, fixes #1705, @Chris00)

• Make configurator append paths to $PKG_CONFIG_PATH on macOS. Previously it was prepending paths and thus $PKG_CONFIG_PATH set by users could have been overridden by homebrew installed libraries (#1785, @andreypopp)

• Disallow c/cxx sources that share an object file in the same stubs archive. This means that foo.c and foo.cpp can no longer exist in the same library. (#1788, @rgrinberg)

• Forbid use of %{targets} (or ${@} in jbuild files) inside preprocessing actions (#1812, fixes #1811, @jeremiedimino)

• Add DUNE_PROFILE environment variable to easily set the profile. (#1806, @rgrinberg)

• Deprecate the undocumented (no_keep_locs) field. It was only necessary until virtual libraries were supported (#1822, fix #1816, @jeremiedimino)

Build, packaging, and testing

• Simplify using (universe) support in jbuilder 1.0+beta20
• Add some regtests (#135, @hhugo)
• Upgrade to Base v0.11.0 (#103, @jeremiedimino)
• Add Travis CI script
• Fix: build [make reason] (#97, @mbarbin)
• Simplify Makefile due to jbuilder 1.0+beta18

• Now based on opam 2 libs and intended for publications in the 2.0 format (inclusive opam files, etc.)
• Bumped version number to avoid confusion with opam versions
• Removed the two-step operation ("prepare" and "publish"). A single invocation does all
• Removed looking up current opam pinnings and repositories for metadata, which was too complex and counter-intuitive. Now opam files are looked up only in the specified directories or archives
• Multiple publications without added complexity
• Simplified command-line: URLs, directories, opam files, package names can be specified directly on the command-line, and repeated for multiple publications
• Allow providing the auth token directly
