v1.12.0

CHANGES:

• FFI:
  • RawOpaqueData.cin now returns a term and takes constants into account.
    Whenever a value is represented with a named constant, the API grants that:
    • the value is embedded using that constant
    • that constant is read back to the original value
• API:
  • New Compile.extend to (quickly) add clauses to a program
  • New argument ?follows:program to Compile.unit to have the unit
    be compiled using the very same symbol table (no new symbols can be
    declared by the unit in this case)
• Library:
  • rename map2_filter -> map2-filter
  • new map-filter
• Build:
  • use md5 (OCaml's digest) instead of sha1 (external utility)

v1.11.4

CHANGES:

• do not rely on /bin/bash in Makefile (helps on nix and freebsd)

v1.11.3

CHANGES:

• ppxfindcache: use shasum instead of sha1sum
• Parser: print file names in a VScode friendly way
• Fix opam package dependency on camlp5 and ppxlib
• Fix output of -print* options to the elpi command line utility
• New builtin rex_split (like OCaml's Str.split)

v1.11.2

CHANGES:

• Nicer error message when compiling an applied spilling expression
• Fix opam package
• Trace: print locations in VScode friendly way

v1.11.1

CHANGES:

• Fix to the opam file, ppxlib is required to be >= 0.12.0 and
  ocaml-migrate-parsetree >= 1.6.0. Moreover we disable tests on Alpine linux
• Print locations in such a way that VScode can understand then, and click jump
  to type errors

v1.11.0

CHANGES:

• Builtin:

  • var now accepts 3 arguments, as constant and name.

• Trace:

  • output facilities: json and tty on both files and network sockets
  • trace messages to link goals to their subgoals
  • spy points categorized into user and dev
  • all trace points were revised and improved
  • port to ppxlib

• Build system:

  • minimal build dependencies are now: camlp5 ocamlfind dune re
  • cache ppx output in .ml format in src/.ppcache that Elpi can be buildt
    without ppx_deriving.std and elpi.trace.ppx using a new tool in
    ppxfindcache/
  • vendor a copy of ppx_deriving_runtime (suffix _proxy) to be used when
    ppx_deriving is not installed
  • generate custom merlinppx.exe for src/ and and patch .merlin file so
    that one can have decent merlin support
  • make target test-noppx to compile on an alternative opam switch

v1.10.2

CHANGES:

• Builtin:

  • occurs now accepts arguments of different types

• API:

  • expose beta reduction on raw terms

v1.10.1

CHANGES:

• make API.Builtin_checker module public so that third parties can reuse the
  source

v1.10.0

CHANGES:

• Compiler:

  • large refactoring to separate the table of global (statically initialized)
    symbols, the table of symbols of a program being compiled and the table
    of symbols used at runtime.
  • API for separate compilation.

• API:

  • Setup.init now returns a handle to an elpi instance to be passed to
    many other APIs.
  • New APIs Compile.unit and Compile.assemble for separate compilation.
  • Constants.from_stringc and Constants.mk*S API removed in favor for
    Constants.declare_global_symbol (to be used in module initialization code).

v1.9.1

CHANGES:

• Tests:

  • Fix testing framework on runners pre 1.9.0.

• Parser:

  • Line nubers after quotations were wrong, since \n inside
    quotations were not taken into account.

• Typing:

  • Name alias abbreviations are not refolded in error messages.
    Eg. typeabbrev x int does not take over int, while
    typeabbrev x (list int) does over list int.
  • Fix type abbreviation refolding, was not working on some cases.

• Stdlib:

  • Fix is function int_of_string to do what it says
  • New is function rhc : string -> int computes the inverse of chr
