3.16.0 (2024-06-17)

Added

allow libraries with the same (name ..) in projects as long as they don't conflict during resolution (via enabled_if). (#10307, @anmonteiro, @jchavarri)
dune describe pp now finds the exact module and the stanza it belongs to, instead of guessing the name of the preprocessed file. (#10321, @anmonteiro)
Print the result of dune describe pp with the respective dialect printer. (#10322, @anmonteiro)
Add new flag --context to dune ocaml-merlin, which allows to select a Dune context when requesting Merlin config. Add dune describe contexts subcommand. Introduce a field generate_merlin_rules for contexts declared in the workspace, that allows to optionally produce Merlin rules for other contexts besides the one selected for Merlin (#10324, @jchavarri)
melange: add include paths for private library .cmj files during JS emission. (#10416, @anmonteiro)
dune ocaml-merlin: communicate additional directives SOURCE_ROOT, UNIT_NAME (the actual name with wrapping) and INDEX with the paths to the index(es). (#10422, @voodoos)
Add a new alias @ocaml-index that uses the ocaml-index binary to generate indexes that can be read by tools such as Merlin to provide project-wide references search. (#10422, @voodoos)
merlin: add optional (merlin_reader CMD) construct to (dialect) stanza to configure a merlin reader (#8567, @andreypopp)

Changed

melange: treat private libraries with (package ..) as public libraries, fixing an issue where import paths were wrongly emitted. (#10415, @anmonteiro)
install .glob files for Coq theories too (#10602, @ejgallego)

Fixed

Don't try to document non-existent libraries in doc-new target (#10319, fixes #10056, @jonludlam)

Fix incorrect warning for libraries defined inside non-existant directories using (subdir ..) and used by executables using dune-build-info (#10525, @rgrinberg)
Don't try to take build lock when running coq top --no-build (#10547, fixes #7671, @lzy0505)
Make sure to truncate dune's lock file after locking and unlocking so that users cannot observe incorrect pid's (#10575, @rgrinberg)
mdx: link mdx binary with byte_complete. This fixes (libraries) with foreign archives on Linux. (#10586, fixes #10582, @anmonteiro)
virtual libraries: fix an issue where linking an executable involving several virtual libries would cause an error. (#10581, fixes #10460, @rgrinberg)

3.15.0 (2024-04-03)

Added

Add link flags to to ocamlmklib for ctypes stubs (#8784, @frejsoya)

melange: fix a bug that would cause stale import paths to be emitted when moving source files within (include_subdirs ..) (#10286, fixes #9190, @anmonteiro)
Dune file formatting: output utf8 if input is correctly encoded (#10113, fixes #9728, @moyodiallo)
Fix expanding dependencies and locks specified in the cram stanza. Previously, they would be installed in the context of the cram test, rather than the cram stanza itself (#10165, @rgrinberg)
Fix bug with dune exec --watch where the working directory would always be set to the project root rather than the directory where the command was run (#10262, @gridbugs)

Fixed

When a directory is changed to a file, correctly remove it in subsequent dune build runs. (#9327, fix #6575, @emillon)
Fix a problem with the doc-new target where transitive dependencies were missed during compile. This leads to missing expansions in the output docs. (#9955, @jonludlam)
coq: fix performance regression in coqdep unescaping (#10115, fixes #10088, @ejgallego, thanks to Dan Christensen for the report)
coq: memoize coqdep parsing, this will reduce build times for Coq users, in particular for those with many .v files (#10116, @ejgallego, see also #10088)

3.14.0 (2024-02-12)

Added

Introduce a (dynamic_include ..) stanza. This is like (include foo) but allows foo to be the target of a rule. Currently, there are some limitations on the stanzas that can be generated. For example, public executables, libraries are currently forbidden. (#9913, @rgrinberg)
Introduce $ dune promotion list to print the list of available promotions. (#9705, @moyodiallo)
If Sherlodoc is installed, add a search bar in generated HTML docs (#9772, @EmileTrotignon)

Changed

When dune language 3.14 is enabled, resolve the binary in (run %{bin:..} ..) from where the binary is built. (#9708, @rgrinberg)
boot: remove single-command bootstrap. This was an alternative bootstrap strategy that was used in certain conditions. Removal makes the bootstrap a bit slower on Linux when only a single core is available, but bootstrap is now reproducible in all cases. (#9735, fixes #9507, @emillon)

3.13.1 (2024-02-05)

Fix performance regression for incremental builds (#9769, fixes #9738, @rgrinberg)
Fix dune ocaml top-module to correctly handle absolute paths. (#8249, fixes #7370, @Alizter)
subst: ignore broken symlinks when looking at source files (#9810, fixes #9593, @emillon)
subst: do not fail on 32-bit systems when large files are encountered. Just log a warning in this case. (#9811, fixes #9538, @emillon)
boot: sort directory entries in readdir. This makes the dune binary reproducible in terms of filesystem order. (#9861, fixes #9794, @emillon)

3.13.0 (2024-01-16)

Added

Add command dune cache clear to completely delete all traces of the Dune cache. (#8975, @nojb)

Allow OCAMLFIND_TOOLCHAIN to be set per context in the workspace file through the env stanza. (#9449, @rgrinberg)
Menhir: generate .conflicts file by default. Add new field to the (menhir) stanza to control the generation of this file: (explain <blang expression>). Introduce (menhir (flags ...) (explain ...)) field in the (env) stanza, delete (menhir_flags) field. All changes are guarded under a new version of the Menhir extension, 3.0. (#9512, @nojb)
Directory targets can now be cached. (#9535, @rleshchinskiy)
It is now possible to use special forms such as (:include) and variables %{read-lines:} in (modules) and similar fields. Note that the dependencies introduced in this way (ie the files being read) must live in a different directory than the stanza making use of them. (#9578, @nojb)
Remove warning 30 from default set for projects where dune lang is at least 3.13 (#9568, @gasche)
Add coqdoc_flags field to coq field of env stanza allowing the setting of workspace-wide defaults for coqdoc_flags. (#9280, fixes #9139, @Alizter)
ctypes: fix an error where (ctypes) with no (function_description) would cause an error trying refer to a nonexistent _stubs.a dependency (#9302, fix #9300, @emillon)

Changed

[coq] Fix bug in computation of flags when composed with boot theories. (#9347, fixes #7909, @ejgallego)
Fixed a bug where the (select) field of the (libraries) field of the (test) stanza wasn't working properly. (#9387, fixes #9365, @Alizter)
Fix handling of the PATH argument to dune init proj NAME PATH. An intermediate directory called NAME is no longer created if PATH is supplied, so dune init proj my_project . will now initialize a project in the current working directory. (#9447, fixes #9209, @shonfeder)
Experimental doc rules: Correctly handle the case when a package depends upon its own sublibraries (#9461, fixes #9456, @jonludlam)
Resolve various public binaries to their build location, rather than to where they're copied in the _build/install directory (#9496, fixes #7908, @rgrinberg).

dune coq top now correctly respects the project root when called from a subdirectory. However, absolute filenames passed to dune coq top are no longer supported (due to being buggy) (#7357, fixes #7344, @rlepigre and @Alizter)
Added a --no-build option to dune coq top for avoiding rebuilds (#7380, fixes #7355, @Alizter)

Report cycles between virtual libraries and their implementation (#5050, fixes #2896, @rgrinberg)
Warn when lang versions have an ignored suffix. (lang dune 2.3.4) or (lang dune 2.3suffix) were silently parsed as 2.3 and we know suggest to remove the prefix. (#5040, @emillon)
Allow users to specify dynamic dependencies in rules. For example (deps %{read:foo.gen}) (#4662, fixes #4089, @jeremiedimino)
Sandbox infer rules for menhir. Fixes possible "inconsistent assumptions" errors (#5015, @rgrinberg)

Fix foreign_stubs inside a tests stanza. Previously, dune would crash when this field was present (#4942, fix #4946, @rgrinberg)
Add the enabled_if field to inline_tests within the library stanza. This allows us to disable executing the inline tests while still allowing for compilation (#4939, @rgrinberg)
Generate a dune-project when initializing projects with dune init proj ... (#4881, closes #4367, @shonfeder)
Allow spaces in the directory argument of the subdir stanza (#4943, fixes #4907, @rgrinberg)

Enable cram tests by default (#4262, @rgrinberg)
Drop support for opam 1.x (#4280, @jeremiedimino)
Stop calling ocamlfind to determine the library search path or library installation directory. This makes the behavior of Dune simpler and more reproducible (#4281, @jeremiedimino)
Remove the external-lib-deps command. This command was only approximative and the cost of maintenance was getting too high. We removed it to make room for new more important features (#4298, @jeremiedimino)
It is now possible to define action dependencies through a chain of aliases. (#4303, @aalekseyev)
If an .ml file is not used by an executable, Dune no longer report parsing error in this file (#4330, @jeremiedimino)
Add support for sandboxing using hard links (#4360, Andrey Mokhov)
Fix dune crash when subdir is an absolute path (#4366, @anmonteiro)
Changed the implementation of actions attached to aliases, as in (rule (alias runtest) (action (run ./test))). A visible result for users is that such actions are now memoized for longer. For instance:
```
$ echo '(rule (alias runtest) (action (echo "X=%{env:X=0}\n")))` > dune
$ X=1 dune runtest
X=1
$ X=2 dune runtest
X=2
$ X=1 dune runtest
```
Previously, Dune would have re-executed the action again at the last line. Now it remembers the result of the first execution.
Fix a bug where dune would always re-run all actions that produce symlinks, even if their dependencies did not change. (#4405, @aalekseyev)
Fix a bug that was causing Dune to re-hash generated files more often than necessary (#4419, @jeremiedimino)
Fields allowed in the config file are now also allowed in the workspace file (#4426, @jeremiedimino)
Add CLI flags --action-<outputs>-on-success ... (where <outputs> is stdout or stderr) to control how Dune should handle stdout and stderr of actions when they succeed. It is now possible to ask Dune to ignore the stdout of actions when they succeed or to request that the stderr of actions must be empty. It is also possible to set these options in the config and/or dune-workspace files with (action_<outputs>_on_success ...). This feature allows you to reduce the noise of large builds (#4422, #4515, @jeremiedimino)
The @all alias no longer depends directly on copies of files from the source directory (#4461, @nojb)
Allow dune-file as an alternative file name for dune files (needs to be enabled in the dune-project file) (#4428, @nojb)
Drop support for upgrading jbuilder projects (#4473, @jeremiedimino)
Extend the environment variable BUILD_PATH_PREFIX_MAP to rewrite the root of the build dir (or sandbox) to /workspace_root (#4466, @jeremiedimino)
Simplify the implementation of build cache. We stop using the cache daemon to access the cache and instead write to and read from it directly. The new cache implementation is based on Jenga's cache library, which was thoroughly tested on large-scale builds. Using Jenga's cache library will also make it easier for us to port Jenga's cloud cache to Dune. (#4443, #4465, Andrey Mokhov)
More informative error message when Dune can't read a target that's supposed to be produced by the action. Old message is still produced on ENOENT, but other errors deserve a more detailed report. (#4501, @aalekseyev)
Fixed a bug where a sandboxed action would fail if it declares no dependencies in its initial working directory or any directory it chdirs into. (#4509, @aalekseyev)
Fix a crash when clearing temporary directories (#4489, #4529, Andrey Mokhov)
Dune now memoizes all errors when running in the file-watching mode. This speeds up incremental rebuilds but may be inconvenient in rare cases, e.g. if a build action fails due to a spurious error, such as running out of memory. Right now, the only way to force such actions to be rebuilt is to restart Dune, which clears all memoized errors. In future, we would like to provide a way to rerun all actions failed due to errors without restarting the build, e.g. via a Dune RPC call. (#4522, Andrey Mokhov)
Remove dune compute. It was broken and unused (#4540, @jeremiedimino)
No longer generate an approximate merlin files when computing the ocaml flags fails, for instance because they include the contents of a file that failed to build. This was a niche feature and it was getting in the way of making Dune's core better. (#4607, @jeremiedimino)
Make Dune display the progress indicator in all output modes except quiet (#4618, @aalekseyev)
Report accurate process timing information in trace mode (enabled with --trace-file) (#4517, @rgrinberg)
Do not log live_words and free_words in trace file. This allows using Gc.quick_stat which does not scan the heap. (#4643, @emillon)
Don't let command run by Dune observe the environment variable INSIDE_EMACS in order to improve reproducibility (#4680, @jeremiedimino)
Fix root_module when used in public libraries (#4685, fixes #4684, @rgrinberg, @CraigFe)
Fix root_module when used with preprocessing (#4683, fixes #4682, @rgrinberg, @CraigFe)
Display Coq profile flags in dune printenv (#4767, @ejgallego)
Introduce mdx stanza 0.2, requiring mdx >= 1.9.0, with a new generic deps field and the possibility to statically link libraries in the test executable. (#3956, #5391, fixes #3955)
Improve lookup of optional or disabled binaries. Previously, we'd treat every executable with missing libraries as optional. Now, we treat make sure to look at the library's optional or enabled_if status (#4786).
Always use 7 char hash prefix in build info version (#4857, @jberdine, fixes #4855)
Allow to explicitly disable/enable the use of dune subst by adding a new (subst <disable|enable>) stanza to the dune-project file. (#4864, @kit-ty-kate)
Simplify the way dune discovers the root of the workspace. It now stops at the first dune-workspace file it encounters, and fails if it finds neither a dune-workspace nor a dune-project file (#4921, fixes #4459, @jeremiedimino)
Dune no longer reads installed META files for libraries distributed with the compiler, instead using its own internal database. (#4946, @nojb)
Add support for (empty_module_interface_if_absent) in executable and library stanzas. (#4955, @nojb)
Add support for %{bin-available:...} (#4995, @jeremiedimino)
Make sure running git or hg in a sandboxed action, such as a cram test cannot escape the sandbox and pick up some random git or mercurial repository on the file system (#4996, @jeremiedimino)
Allow %{read:...} in more places such as (enabled_if ...) (#4994, @jeremiedimino)
Run each action in its own process group so that we don't leave stray processes behind when killing actions (#4998, @jeremiedimino)
Add an option expand_aliases_in_sandbox (#5003, @jeremiedimino)
Allow to cancel the initial scan via Control+C (#4460, fixes #4364 @jeremiedimino)
Add experimental support for directory targets (#3316, #5025, Andrey Mokhov), enabled via (using directory-targets 0.1) in dune-project.

Do not run ocamldep to for single module executables & libraries. The dependency graph for such artifacts is trivial (#3847, @rgrinberg)
Fix cram tests inside vendored directories not being interpreted correctly. (#3860, fixes #3843, @rgrinberg)
Add package field to private libraries. This allows such libraries to be installed and to be usable by other public libraries in the same project (#3655, fixes #1017, @rgrinberg)
Fix the %{make} variable on Windows by only checking for a gmake binary on UNIX-like systems as a unrelated gmake binary might exist on Windows. (#3853, @kit-ty-kate)
Fix $ dune install modifying the build directory. This made the build directory unusable when $ sudo dune install modified permissions. (fix #3857, @rgrinberg)
Fix handling of aliases given on the command line (using the @ and @@ syntax) so as to correctly handle relative paths. (#3874, fixes #3850, @nojb)
Allow link time code generation to be used in preprocessing executable. This makes it possible to use the build info module inside the preprocessor. (#3848, fix #3848, @rgrinberg)
Correctly call git ls-tree so unicode files are not quoted, this fixes problems with dune subst in the presence of unicode files. Fixes #3219 (#3879, @ejgallego)

Add a SUFFIX directive in .merlin files for each dialect with no preprocessing, to let merlin know of additional file extensions (#3977, @vouillon)
Stop promoting .merlin files. Write per-stanza Merlin configurations in binary form. Add a new subcommand dune ocaml-merlin that Merlin can use to query the configuration files. The allow_approximate_merlin option is now useless and deprecated. Dune now conflicts with merlin < 3.4.0 and ocaml-lsp-server < 1.3.0 (#3554, @voodoos)
Configurator: fix a bug introduced in 2.6.0 where the configurator V1 API doesn't work at all when used outside of dune. (#4046, @aalekseyev)
Fix libexec and libexec-private variables. In cross-compilation settings, they now point to the file in the host context. (#4058, fixes #4057, @TheLortex)
When running $ dune subst, use project metadata as a fallback when package metadata is missing. We also generate a warning when (name ..) is missing in dune-project files to avoid failures in production builds.
Remove support for passing -nodynlink for executables. It was bypassed in most cases and not correct in other cases in particular on arm32. (#4085, fixes #4069, fixes #2527, @emillon)
Generate archive rules compatible with 4.12. Dune no longer attempts to generate an archive file if it's unnecessary (#3973, fixes #3766, @rgrinberg)
Fix generated Merlin configurations when multiple preprocessors are defined for different modules in the same folder. (#4092, fixes #2596, #1212 and #3409, @voodoos)
Add the option use_standard_c_and_cxx_flags to dune-project that 1. disables the unconditional use of the ocamlc_cflags and ocamlc_cppflags from ocamlc -config in C compiler calls, these flags will be present in the :standard set instead; and 2. enables the detection of the C compiler family and populates the :standard set of flags with common default values when building CXX stubs. (#3875, #3802, fix #3718 and #3528, @voodoos)

2.7.1 (2/09/2020)

configurator: More flexible probing of #define. We allow duplicate values in the object file, as long as they are the same after parsing. (#3739, fixes #3736, @rgrinberg)
Record instrumentation backends in dune-package files. This makes it possible to use instrumentation backends defined in installed libraries (eg via OPAM). (#3735, @nojb)

Revert the build optimization in #2268. This optimization slows down building individual executables when they're part of an executables stanza group (#3644, @rgrinberg)
Use {dev} rather than {pinned} in the generated .opam file. (#3647, @kit-ty-kate)
Insert correct extension name when editing dune-project files. Previously, dune would just insert the stanza name. (#3649, fixes #3624, @rgrinberg)
Fix crash when evaluating an mdx stanza that depends on unavailable packages. (#3650, @CraigFe)
Fix typo in cache-check-probablity field in dune config files. This field now requires 2.7 as it wasn't usable before this version. (#3652, @edwintorok)

Fix a bug where valid lib names in dune init exec --libs=lib1,lib2 results in an error. (#3444, fix #3443, @bikallem)
Add and enabled_ if field to the install stanza. Enforce the same variable restrictions for enabled_if fields in the executable and install stanzas than in the library stanza.

[coq] Support for theory dependencies and compositional builds using new field (theories ...) (#2053, @ejgallego, @rgrinberg)
From now on, each version of a syntax extension must be explicitly tied to a minimum version of the dune language. Inconsistent versions in a dune-project will trigger a warning for version <=2.4 and an error for versions >2.4 of the dune language. (#3270, fixes #2957, @voodoos)
[coq] Bump coq lang version to 0.2. New coq features presented this release require this version of the coq lang. (#3283, @ejgallego)
Prevent installation of public executables disabled using the enabled_if field. Installation will now simply skip such executables instead of raising an error. (#3195, @voodoos)
dune upgrade will now try to upgrade projects using versions <2.0 to version 2.0 of the dune language. (#3174, @voodoos)
Add a top command to integrate dune with any toplevel, not just utop. It is meant to be used with the new #use_output directive of OCaml 4.11 (#2952, @mbernat, @diml)
Allow per-package version in generated opam files (#3287, @toots)
[coq] Introduce the coq.extraction stanza. It can be used to extract OCaml sources (#3299, fixes #2178, @rgrinberg)

Fix a memory leak in the file-watching mode (dune build -w) (#3220, @snowleopard and @aalekseyev)
Starting from (lang dune 2.4), dune systematically puts all files under _build in read-only mode instead of only doing it when the shared cache is enabled (#3092, @mefyl)

Fix versioning of artifact variables (eg %{cmxa:...}), which were introduced in 2.0, not 1.11. (#3149, @nojb)
Fix a bug introduced in 2.3.0 where dune insists on using fswatch on linux (even when inotifywait is available). (#3162, @aalekseyev)

[coq] Deprecate public_name field in favour of package (#2087, @ejgallego)
Better error reporting for "data only" and "vendored" dirs. Using these with anything else than a strict subdirectory or * will raise an error. The previous behavior was to just do nothing (#3056, fixes #3019, @voodoos)
Fix bootstrap on bytecode only switches on windows or where -j1 is set. (#3112, @xclerc, @rgrinberg)
Allow enabled_if fields in executable(s) stanzas (#3137, fixes #1690 @voodoos)

Make sure the @all alias is defined when no dune file is present in a directory (#2946, fix #2927, @diml)

2.2.0 (06/02/2020)

dune test is now a command alias for dune runtest. This is to make the CLI less idiosyncratic (#3006, @shonfeder)
Allow to set menhir flags in the env stanza using the menhir_flags field. (#2960, fix #2924, @bschommer)
By default, do not show the full command line of commands executed by dune when dune is executed inside dune. This is to make integration tests more reproducible (#3042, @diml)
dune subst now works even without opam files (#2955, fixes #2910, @fangyi-zhou and @diml)
Hint when trying to execute an executable defined in the current directory without using the ./ prefix (#3041, fixes #1094, @voodoos).

It is now an error to have a preprocessing dependency on a ppx rewriter library that is not marked as (kind ppx_rewriter) (#3039, @snowleopard).
Fix permissions of files promoted to the source tree when using the shared cache. In particular, make them writable by the user (#3043, fixes #3026, @diml)
Only detect internal OCaml tools with .opt extensions. Previously, this detection applied to other binaries as well (@kit-ty-kate, @rgrinberg, #3051).
Give the user a proper error message when they try to promote into a source directory that doesn't exist. (#3073, fix #3069, @rgrinberg)

Fix dune --version. The bootstrap didn't compute the version correctly. (#2929, fixes #2911, @diml)
Do not open the log file in dune clean. (#2965, fixes #2964 and #2921, @diml)
Support passing two arguments to =, <>, ... operators in package dependencies so that we can have things such as (<> :os win32) (#2965, @diml)

2.0.1 (17/12/2019)

Delay errors raised by invalid dune-package files. The error is now raised only if the invalid package is treated as a library and used to build something. (#2972, @rgrinberg)

2.0.0 (20/11/2019)

Remove existing destination files in install before installing the new ones. (#2885, fixes #2883, @bschommer)
The action field in the alias stanza is not available starting lang dune 2.0. The alias field in the rule stanza is a replacement. (#2846, fixes 2681, @rgrinberg)
Introduce alias and package fields to the rule stanza. This is the preferred way of attaching rules to aliases. (#2744, @rgrinberg)
Add field (optional) for executable stanzas (#2463, fixes #2433, @bobot)
Infer targets for rule stanzas expressed in long form (#2494, fixes #2469, @NathanReb)
Indicate the progress of the initial file tree loading (#2459, fixes #2374, @bobot)
Build .cm[ox] files for executables more eagerly. This speeds up builds at the cost of building unnecessary artifacts in some cases. Some of these extra artifacts can fail to built, so this is a breaking change. (#2268, @rgrinberg)
Do not put the <package>.install files in the source tree unless -p or --promote-install-files is passed on the command line (#2329, @diml)
Compilation units of user defined executables are now mangled by default. This is done to prevent the accidental collision with library dependencies of the executable. (#2364, fixes #2292, @rgrinberg)
Enable (explicit_js_mode) by default. (#1941, @nojb)
Add an option to clear the console in-between builds with --terminal-persistence=clear-on-rebuild

Modules filtered out from the module list via the Ordered Set Language must now be actual modules. (#2442, @rgrinberg)
Actions which introduce targets where new targets are forbidden (e.g. preprocessing) are now an error instead of a warning. (#2442, @rgrinberg)
No longer install a jbuilder binary. (#2441, @diml)
Stub names are no longer allowed relative paths. This was previously a warning and is now an error (#2443, @rgrinberg).
Define (paths ...) fields in (context ...) definitions in order to set or extend any PATH-like variable in the context environment. (#2426, @nojb)
The diff action will always normalize newlines before diffing. Previously, it would not do this normalization for rules defined in jbuild files. (#2457, @rgrinberg)
Modules may no longer belong to more than one stanza. This was previously allowed only in stanzas defined in jbuild files. (#2458, @rgrinberg)
Remove support for jbuild-ignore files. They have been replaced by the the dirs stanza in dune files. (#2456, @rgrinberg)
Add a new config option sandboxing_preference, the cli argument --sandbox, and the dep spec sandbox in dune language. These let the user control the level of sandboxing done by dune per rule and globally. The rule specification takes precedence. The global configuration merely specifies the default. (#2213, @aalekseyev, @diml)
Remove support for old style subsystems. Dune will now emit a warning to reinstall the library with the old style subsystem. (#2480, @rgrinberg)
Add action (with-stdin-from ) to redirect input from when performing . (#2487, @nojb)
Change the automatically generated odoc index to only list public modules. This only affects unwrapped libraries (#2479, @rgrinberg)

Change default target from @install to @all. (#2449, fixes #1220, @rgrinberg)
Include building stubs in @check rules. (@rgrinberg, #2530)
Get rid of ad-hoc rules for guessing the version. Dune now only relies on the version written in the dune-project file and no longer read VERSION or similar files (#2541, @diml)
In (diff? x y) action, require x to exist and register a dependency on that file. (#2486, @aalekseyev)
On Windows, an .exe suffix is no longer added implicitly to binary names that already end in .exe. Second, when resolving binary names, .opt variants are no longer chosen automatically. (#2543, @nojb)
Make (diff? x y) move the correction file (y) away from the build directory to promotion staging area. This makes corrections work with sandboxing and in general reduces build directory pollution. (#2486, @aalekseyev, fixes #2482)
c_flags, c_names and cxx_names are now supported in executable and executables stanzas. (#2562, @nojb) Note: this feature has been subsequently extended into a separate foreign_stubs field. The fields c(xx)_names and c(xx)_flags are now deleted. (#2659, RFC #2650, @snowleopard)
Remove git integration from $ dune upgrade (#2565, @rgrinberg)
Add a --disable-promotion to disable all modification to the source directory. There's also a corresponding DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION environment variable. (#2588, fix #2568, @rgrinberg)
Add a forbidden_libraries field to prevent some library from being linked in an executable. This help detecting who accidentally pulls in unix for instance (#2570, @diml)
Fix incorrect error message when a variable is expanded in static context: %{lib:lib:..} when the library does not exist. (#2597, fix #1541, @rgrinberg)
Add --sections option to $ dune install to install subsections of .install files. This is useful for installing only the binaries in a workspace for example. (#2609, fixes #2554, @rgrinberg)
Drop support for jbuild and jbuild-ignore files (#2607, @diml)
Add a dune-action-plugin library for describing dependencies directly in the executable source. Programs that use this feature can be run by a new action (dynamic-run ...). (#2635, @staronj, @aalekseyev)
Stop installing the ocaml-syntax-shims binary. In order to use future_syntax, one now need to depend on the ocaml-syntax-shims package (#2654, @diml)
Add support for dependencies that are re-exported. Such dependencies are marked withre_export and will automatically be provided to users of a library (#2605, @rgrinberg)
Add a deprecated_library_name stanza to redirect old names after a library has been renamed (#2528, @diml)
Error out when a preprocessor_deps field is present but not preprocess field is. It is a warning with Dune 1.x projects (#2660, @Julow)
Dune will use -output-complete-exe instead of -custom when compiling self-contained bytecode executables whenever this options is available (OCaml version >= 4.10) (#2692, @nojb)
Add action (with-accepted-exit-codes <pred> <action>) to specify the set of successful exit codes of <action>. <pred> is specified using the predicate language. (#2699, @nojb)
Do not setup rules for disabled libraries (#2491, fixes #2272, @bobot)
Configurator: filter out empty flags from pkg-config (#2716, @AltGr)
no_keep_locs is a no-op for projects that use lang dune older than 2.0. In projects where the language is at least 2.0, the field is now forbidden. (#2752, fixes #2747, @rgrinberg)
Extend support for foreign sources and archives via the (foreign_library ...) stanza as well as the (foreign_stubs ...) and (foreign_archives ...) fields. (#2659, RFC #2650, @snowleopard)
Add (deprecated_package_names) field to (package) declaration in dune-project. The names declared here can be used in the (old_public_name) field of (deprecated_library_name) stanza. These names are interpreted as library names (not prefixed by a package name) and appropriate redirections are setup in their META files. This feature is meant to migrate old libraries which do not follow Dune's convention of prefixing libraries with the package name. (#2696, @nojb)
The fields license, authors, maintainers, source, bug_reports, homepage, and documentation of dune-project can now be overridden on a per-package basis. (#2774, @nojb)
Change the default modes field of executables to (mode exe). If one wants to build a bytecode program, it now needs to be explicitly requested via (modes byte exe). (#2851, @diml)
Allow ccomp_type as a variable for evaluating enabled_if. (#2855, @dra27, @rgrinberg)
Stricter validation of file names in select. The file names of conditional sources must match the prefix and the extension of the resultant filename. (#2867, @rgrinberg)
Add flag disable_dynamically_linked_foreign_archives to the workspace file. If the flag is set to true then: (i) when installing libraries, we do not install dynamic foreign archives dll*.so; (ii) when building executables in the byte mode, we statically link in foreign archives into the runtime system; (iii) we do not generate any dll*.so rules. (#2864, @snowleopard)
Reimplement the bootstrap procedure. The new procedure is faster and should no longer stack overflow (#2854, @dra27, @diml)
Allow .opam.template files to be generated using rules (#2866, @rgrinberg)
Delete the deprecated self_build_stubs_archive field, replaced by foreign_archives.

Check that selected implementations (either by variants or default implementations) are indeed implementations. (#2328, @TheLortex, review by @rgrinberg)
Don't reserve the Ppx toplevel module name for ppx rewriters (#2242, @diml)

Add proper line directives when copying .cc and .cxx sources (#2275, @rgrinberg)
Fix error message for missing C++ sources. The .cc extension was always ignored before. (#2275, @rgrinberg)

Allow to run inline tests in javascript with nodejs (#2266, @hhugo)
Build ppx.exe as compiling host binary. (#2286, fixes #2252, @toots, review by @rgrinberg and @diml)

Allow to embed build info in executables such as version and list and version of statically linked libraries (#2224, @diml)
Set version in META and dune-package files to the one read from the vcs when no other version is available (#2224, @diml)
Add a variable %{target} to be used in situations where the context requires at most one word, so %{targets} can be confusing; stdout redirections and "-o" arguments of various tools are the main use case; also, introduce a separate field target that must be used instead of targets in those situations. (#2341, @aalekseyev)
Fix dependency graph of wrapped_compat modules. Previously, the dependency on the user written entry module was omitted. (#2305, @rgrinberg)
Allow to promote executables built with an executable stanza (#2379, @diml)
When instantiating an implementation with a variant, make sure it matches virtual library's list of known implementations. (#2361, fixes #2322, @TheLortex, review by @rgrinberg)
Add a variable %{ignoring_promoted_rules} that is true when --ignore-promoted-rules is passed on the command line and false otherwise (#2382, @diml)
Fix a bug in future_syntax where the characters @ and & were not distinguished in the names of binding operators (let@ was the same as let&) (#2376, @aalekseyev, @diml)
Workspaces with non unique project names are now supported. (#2377, fix #2325, @rgrinberg)
Improve opam generation to include the dune dependencies with the minimum constraint set based on the dune language version specified in the dune-project file. (2383, @avsm)
The order of fields in the generated opam file now follows order preferred in opam-lib. (@avsm, #2380)
Fix coloring of error messages from the compiler (@diml, #2384)
Add warning 66 to default set of warnings starting for dune projects with language version >= 1.11 (@rgrinberg, @diml, fixes #2299)
Add (dialect ...) stanza (@nojb, #2404)
Add a --context argument to dune install/uninstall (@diml, #2412)
Do not warn about merlin files pre 1.9. This warning can only be disabled in 1.9 (#2421, fixes #2399, @emillon)
Add a new inline_tests field in the env stanza to control inline_tests framework with a variable (#2313, @mlasson, original idea by @diml, review by @rgrinberg).
New binary kind js for executables in order to explicitly enable Javascript targets, and a switch (explicit_js_mode) to require this mode in order to declare JS targets corresponding to executables. (#1941, @nojb)
Allow unwrapped implementations of public libraries to introduce new public modules (@rgrinberg)

1.10.0 (04/06/2019)

Restricted the set of variables available for expansion in the destination filename of install stanza to simplify implementation and avoid dependency cycles. (#2073, @aalekseyev, @diml)
[menhir] call menhir from context root build_dir (#2067, @ejgallego, review by @diml, @rgrinberg)
[coq] Add coq.pp stanza to help with pre-processing of grammar files (#2054, @ejgallego, review by @rgrinberg)
Add a new more generic form for the promote mode: (promote (until-clean) (into <dir>)) (#2068, @diml)
Allow to promote only a subset of the targets via (promote (only <pred>)). For instance: (promote (only *.mli)) (#2068, @diml)
Improve the behavior when a strict subset of the targets of a rule is already in the source tree for projects using the dune language < 1.10 (#2068, fixes #2061, @diml)
With lang dune >= 1.10, rules in standard mode are no longer allowed to produce targets that are present in the source tree. This has been a warning for long enough (#2068, @diml)
Allow %{...} variables in pps flags (#2076, @mlasson review by @diml and @aalekseyev).
Add a 'cookies' option to ppx_rewriter/deriver flags in library stanzas. This allow to specify cookie requests from variables expanded at each invocation of the preprocessor. (#2106, @mlasson @diml)
Add more opam metadata and use it to generate .opam files. In particular, a package field has been added to specify package specific information. (#2017, #2091, @avsm, @jonludlam, @rgrinberg)
Clean up the special support for findlib.dynload. Before, Dune would simply match on the library name. Now, we only match on the findlib package name when the library doesn't come from Dune. Someone writing a library called findlib.dynload with Dune would have to add (special_builtin_support findlib_dynload) to trigger the special behavior. (#2115, @diml)
Install the future_syntax preprocessor as ocaml-syntax-shims.exe (#2125, @rgrinberg)
Hide full command on errors and warnings in development and show them in CI. (detected using the CI environment variable). Commands for which the invocation might be omitted must output an error prefixed with File . Add an --always-show-command-line option to disable this behavior and always show the full command. (#2120, fixes #1733, @rgrinberg)

In .merlin files, don't pass -dump-ast to the future_syntax preprocessor. Merlin doesn't seem to like it when binary AST is generated by a -pp preprocessor. (#2236, @aalekseyev)
dune install will verify that all files mentioned in all .install files exist before trying to install anything. This prevents partial installation of packages (#2230, @rgrinberg)

1.9.3 (06/05/2019)

Fix .install files not being generated (#2124, fixes #2123, @rgrinberg)

1.9.2 (02/05/2019)

Put back library variants in development mode. We discovered a serious unexpected issue and we might need to adjust the design of this feature before we are ready to commit to a final version. Users will need to write (using library_variants 0.1) in their dune-project file if they want to use it before the design is finalized. (#2116, @diml)
Forbid to attach a variant to a library that implements a virtual library outside the current project (#2104, @rgrinberg)
Fix a bug where dune install would install man pages to incorrect paths when compared to opam-installer. For example dune now installs (foo.1 as man1/foo.1) correctly and previously that was installed to man1/man1/foo.1. (#2105, @aalekseyev)
Do not fail when a findlib directory doesn't exist (#2101, fix #2099, @diml)

Fix crash when calculating library dependency closure (#2090, fixes #2085, @rgrinberg)
Clean up the special support for findlib.dynload. Before, Dune would simply match on the library name. Now, we only match on the findlib package name when the library doesn't come from Dune. Someone writing a library called findlib.dynload with Dune would have to add (special_builton_support findlib_dynload) to trigger the special behavior. (#2115, @diml)
Include permissions in the digest of targets and dependencies (#2121, fix #1426, @rgrinberg, @xclerc)

Do not crash if unable to read a directory when traversing to find root (#2024, @rgrinberg)
Do not exit dune if some source directories are unreadable. Instead, warn the user that such directories need to be ignored (#2004, fix #310, @rgrinberg)
Fix nested (binaries ..) fields in the env stanza. Previously, parent binaries fields would be ignored, but instead they should be combined. (#2029, @rgrinberg)
Allow "." in c_names and cxx_names (#2036, fix #2033, @rgrinberg)
Format rules: if a dune file uses OCaml syntax, do not format it. (#2014, fix #2012, @emillon)

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

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)

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, @diml)

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).

Fix documentation generation for private libraries. (#864, fix #856, @rgrinberg)
Use Marshal to store digest and incremental databases. This improves the speed of 0 rebuilds. (#817, @diml)

Allow setting environment variables in findlib.conf for cross compilation contexts. (#733, @rgrinberg)

Add a link_deps field to executables, to specify link-time dependencies like version scripts. (#879, fix #852, @emillon)

Present the menhir stanza as an extension with its own version (#901, @diml)
Improve the syntax of flags in (pps ...). Now instead of (pps (ppx1 -arg1 ppx2 (-foo x))) one should write (pps ppx1 -arg ppx2 -- -foo x) which looks nicer (#910, @diml)
Make (diff a b) ignore trailing cr on Windows and add (cmp a b) for comparing binary files (#904, fix #844, @diml)

Add a tests stanza that simplified defining regular and expect tests (#822, @rgrinberg)
Change the subst subcommand to lookup the project name from the dune-project whenever it's available. (#960, @diml)
The subst subcommand no longer looks up the root workspace. Previously this detection would break the command whenever -p wasn't passed. (#960, @diml)
Add a # DUNE_GEN in META template files. This is done for consistency with # JBUILDER_GEN. (#958, @rgrinberg)
Rename the following variables in dune files:
- SCOPE_ROOT to project_root

Lowercase all built-in %{variables} in dune files (#956, @rgrinberg)
New syntax for naming dependencies: (deps (:x a b) (:y (glob_files *.c*))). This replaces the use for ${<} in dune files. (#950, @diml, @rgrinberg)
Fix detection of dynamic cycles, which in particular may appear when using (package ..) dependencies (#988, @diml)

1.0+beta20 (10/04/2018)

Add a documentation stanza. This stanza allows one to attach .mld files to opam packages. (#570 @rgrinberg)
Execute all actions (defined using (action ..)) in the context's environment. (#623 @rgrinberg)
Add a (universe) special dependency to specify that an action depend on everything in the universe. Jbuilder cannot cache the result of an action that depend on the universe (#603, fixes #255 @diml)
Add a (package <package>) dependency specification to indicate dependency on a whole package. Rules depending on whole package will be executed in an environment similar to the one we get once the package is installed (#624, @rgrinberg and @diml)
Don't pass -runtime-variant _pic on Windows (#635, fixes #573 @diml)
Display documentation in alphabetical order. This is relevant to packages, libraries, and modules. (#647, fixes #606 @rgrinberg)
Missing asm in ocaml -config on bytecode only architecture is no longer fatal. The same kind of fix is preemptively applied to C compilers being absent. (#646, fixes $637 @rgrinberg)
Use the host's PATH variable when running actions during cross compilation (#649, fixes #625 @rgrinberg)
Fix incorrect include (-I) flags being passed to odoc. These flags should be directories that include .odoc files, rather than the include flags of the libraries. (#652 fixes #651 @rgrinberg)
Fix a regression introduced by beta19 where the generated merlin files didn't include the right -ppx flags in some cases (#658 fixes #657 @diml)
Fix error message when a public library is defined twice. Before jbuilder would raise an uncaught exception (Fixes #661, @diml)
Fix several cases where external-lib-deps was returning too little dependencies (#667, fixes #644 @diml)
Place module list on own line in generated entry point mld (#670 @antron)
Cosmetic improvements to generated entry point mld (#653 @trefis)
Remove most useless parentheses from the syntax (#915, @diml)

1.0+beta19.1 (21/03/2018)

Fix regression introduced by beta19 where duplicate environment variables in Unix.environ would cause a fatal error. The first defined environment variable is now chosen. (#638 fixed by #640)
Use ';' as the path separator for OCAMLPATH on Cygwin (#630 fixed by #636 @diml).
Use the contents of the OCAMLPATH environment variable when not relying on ocamlfind (#642 @diml)

Ignore errors during the generation of the .merlin (#569, fixes #568 and #51)
Add a workaround for when a library normally installed by the compiler is not installed but still has a META file (#574, fixes #563)
Do not depend on ocamlfind. Instead, hard-code the library path when installing from opam (#575)
Change the default behavior regarding the check for overlaps between local and installed libraries. Now even if there is no link time conflict, we don't allow an external dependency to overlap with a local library, unless the user specifies allow_overlapping_dependencies in the jbuild file (#587, fixes #562)
Expose a few more variables in jbuild files: ext_obj, ext_asm, ext_lib, ext_dll and ext_exe as well as ${ocaml-config:XXX} for most variables in the output of ocamlc -config (#590)
Add support for inline and inline expectation tests. The system is generic and should support several inline test systems such as ppx_inline_test, ppx_expect or qtest (#547)
Make sure modules in the current directory always have precedence over included directories (#597)
Add support for building executables as object or shared object files (#23)
Add a best mode which is native with fallback to byte-code when native compilation is not available (#23)
Fix locations reported in error messages (#609)
Report error when a public library has a private dependency. Previously, this would be silently ignored and install broken artifacts (#607).
Fix display when output is not a tty (#518)

1.0+beta18.1 (14/03/2018)

Reduce the number of simultaneously opened fds (#578)

Add a hack to be able to build ppxlib, until beta20 which will have generic support for ppx drivers

1.0+beta18 (25/02/2018)

Fix generation of the implicit alias module with 4.02. With 4.02 it must have an implementation while with OCaml >= 4.03 it can be an interface only module (#549)
Let the parser distinguish quoted strings from atoms. This makes possible to use "${v}" to concatenate the list of values provided by a split-variable. Concatenating split-variables with text is also now required to be quoted.
Split calls to ocamldep. Before ocamldep would be called once per library/executables stanza. Now it is called once per file (#486)
Make sure to not pass -I <stdlib-dir> to the compiler. It is useless and it causes problems in some cases (#488)
Don't stop on the first error. Before, jbuilder would stop its execution after an error was encountered. Now it continues until all branches have been explored (#477)
Add support for a user configuration file (#490)
Add more display modes and change the default display of Jbuilder. The mode can be set from the command line or from the configuration file (#490)
Allow to set the concurrency level (-j N) from the configuration file (#491)
Store artifacts for libraries and executables in separate directories. This ensure that Two libraries defined in the same directory can't see each other unless one of them depend on the other (#472)
Better support for mli/rei only modules (#489)
Fix support for byte-code only architectures (#510, fixes #330)
Fix a regression in external-lib-deps introduced in 1.0+beta17 (#512, fixes #485)

Refactor internal library management. It should now be possible to run jbuilder build @lint in Base for instance (#516)
Fix invalid warning about non-existent directory (#536, fixes #534)

1.0+beta17 (01/02/2018)

Make jbuilder aware that num is an external package in OCaml >= 4.06.0 (#358)

Fix jbuilder utop to work in any working directory (#339)
Fix generation of META synopsis that contains double quotes (#337)
Add S . to .merlin by default (#284)
Improve jbuilder exec to make it possible to execute non public executables. jbuilder exec path/bin will execute bin inside default (or specified) context relative to path. jbuilder exec /path will execute /path as absolute path but with the context's environment set appropriately. Lastly, jbuilder exec will change the root as to which paths are relative using the -root option. (#286)
Fix jbuilder rules printing rules when some binaries are missing (#292)
Build documentation for non public libraries (#306)
Fix doc generation when several private libraries have the same name (#369)
Fix copy# for C/C++ with Microsoft C compiler (#353)

Simplify generated META files: do not generate the transitive closure of dependencies in META files (#405)
Deprecated ${!...}: the split behavior is now a property of the variable. For instance ${CC}, ${^}, ${read-lines:...} all expand to lists unless used in the middle of a longer atom (#336)
Add an (include ...) stanza allowing one to include another non-generated jbuild file in the current file (#402)
Add a (diff <file1> <file2>) action allowing to diff files and promote generated files in case of mismatch (#402, #421)
Add jbuilder promote and --auto-promote to promote files (#402, #421)
Report better errors when using (glob_files ...) with a directory that doesn't exist (#413, Fix #412)
Jbuilder now properly handles correction files produced by ppx_driver. This allows to use [@@deriving_inline] in .ml/.mli files. This require ppx_driver >= v0.10.2 to work properly (#415)
Make jbuilder load rules lazily instead of generating them all eagerly. This speeds up the initial startup time of jbuilder on big workspaces (#370)
Now longer generate a META.pkg.from-jbuilder file. Now the only way to customize the generated META file is through META.pkg.template. This feature was unused and was making the code complicated (#370)
Remove read-only attribute on Windows before unlink (#247)
Use /Fo instead of -o when invoking the Microsoft C compiler to eliminate deprecation warning when compiling C++ sources (#354)
Add a mode field to rule stanzas:
- (mode standard) is the default
- (mode fallback) replaces (fallback)
- (mode promote) means that targets are copied to the source tree after the rule has completed
- (mode promote-until-clean) is the same as (mode promote) except that jbuilder clean deletes the files copied to the source tree. (#437)
Add a flag --ignore-promoted-rules to make jbuilder ignore rules with (mode promote). -p implies --ignore-promoted-rules (#437)
Display a warning for invalid lines in jbuild-ignore (#389)
Always build boot.exe as a bytecode program. It makes the build of jbuilder faster and fix the build on some architectures (#463, fixes #446)
Fix bad interaction between promotion and incremental builds on OSX (#460, fix #456)
Make the beginning of a new build more explicit in watch mode (#2542 @diml)

1.0+beta16 (05/11/2017)

Fix build on 32-bit OCaml (#313)

1.0+beta15 (04/11/2017)

Change the semantic of aliases: there are no longer aliases that are recursive such as install or runtest. All aliases are non-recursive. However, when requesting an alias from the command line, this request the construction of the alias in the specified directory and all its children recursively. This allows users to get the same behavior as previous recursive aliases for their own aliases, such as example. Inside jbuild files, one can use (deps (... (alias_rec xxx) ...)) to get the same behavior as on the command line. (#268)
Include sub libraries that have a . in the generated documentation index (#280).
Fix "up" links to the top-level index in the odoc generated documentation (#282).
Fix ARCH_SIXTYFOUR detection for OCaml 4.06.0 (#303)

1.0+beta14 (11/10/2017)

Add (copy_files ) and (copy_files# ) stanzas. These stanzas setup rules for copying files from a sub-directory to the current directory. This provides a reasonable way to support multi-directory library/executables in jbuilder (#35, @bobot)
An empty jbuild-workspace file is now interpreted the same as one containing just (context default)
Better support for on-demand utop toplevels on Windows and when the library has C stubs
Print Entering directory '...' when the workspace root is not the current directory. This allows Emacs and Vim to know where relative filenames should be interpreted from. (fixes #138, @jeremiedimino)
Fix a bug related to menhir stanzas: menhir stanzas with a merge_into field that were in jbuild files in sub-directories where incorrectly interpreted (#264)
Add support for locks in actions, for tests that can't be run concurrently (#263)
Support ${..} syntax in the include stanza. (#231)

1.0+beta13 (05/09/2017)

Generate toplevel html index for documentation (#224, @samoht)
Fix recompilation of native artifacts. Regression introduced in the last version (1.0+beta12) when digests replaces timestamps for checking staleness (#238, @dra27)

1.0+beta12 (18/08/2017)

Fix the quoting of FLG lines in generated .merlin files (#200, @mseri)
Use the full path of archive files when linking. Before jbuilder would do: -I <path> file.cmxa, now it does -I <path> <path>/file.cmxa. Fixes #118 and #177
Use an absolute path for ppx drivers in .merlin files. Merlin <3.0.0 used to run ppx commands from the directory where the .merlin was present but this is no longer the case
Allow to use jbuilder install in contexts other than opam; if ocamlfind is present in the PATH and the user didn't pass --prefix or --libdir explicitly, use the output of ocamlfind printconf destdir as destination directory for library files (#179, @bobot)
Allow (:include ...) forms in all *flags fields (#153, @dra27)
Add a utop subcommand. Running jbuilder utop in a directory builds and executes a custom utop toplevel with all libraries defined in the current directory (#183, @rgrinberg)
Do not accept per_file anymore in preprocess field. per_file was renamed per_module and it is planned to reuse per_file for another purpose
Warn when a file is both present in the source tree and generated by a rule. Before, jbuilder would silently ignore the rule. One now has to add a field (fallback) to custom rules to keep the current behavior (#218)
Get rid of the deprecated-ppx-method findlib package for ppx rewriters (#222, fixes #163)
Use digests (MD5) of files contents to detect changes rather than just looking at the timestamps. We still use timestamps to avoid recomputing digests. The performance difference is negligible and we avoid more useless recompilations, especially when switching branches for instance (#209, fixes #158)

1.0+beta11 (21/07/2017)

Fix the error message when there are more than one <package>.opam file for a given package
Report an error when in a wrapped library, a module that is not the toplevel module depends on the toplevel module. This doesn't make as such a module would in theory be inaccessible from the outside
Add ${SCOPE_ROOT} pointing to the root of the current scope, to fix some misuses of ${ROOT}
Fix useless hint when all missing dependencies are optional (#137)
Fix a bug preventing one from generating META.pkg.template with a custom rule (#190)
Fix compilation of reason projects: .rei files where ignored and caused the build to fail (#184)

1.0+beta10 (08/06/2017)

Add a clean subcommand (@rdavison, #89)
Add support for generating API documentation with odoc (#74)
Don't use unix in the bootstrap script, to avoid surprises with Cygwin
Improve the behavior of jbuilder exec on Windows
Add a --no-buffer option to see the output of commands in real-time. Should only be used with -j1
Deprecate per_file in preprocessing specifications and rename it per_module
Deprecate copy-and-add-line-directive and rename it copy#
Remove the ability to load arbitrary libraries in jbuild file in OCaml syntax. Only unix is supported since a few released packages are using it. The OCaml syntax might eventually be replaced by a simpler mechanism that plays better with incremental builds
Properly define and implement scopes
Inside user actions, ${^} now includes files matches by (glob_files ...) or (file_recursively_in ...)
When the dependencies and targets of a rule can be inferred automatically, you no longer need to write them: (rule (copy a b))
Inside (run ...), ${xxx} forms that expands to lists can now be split across multiple arguments by adding a !: ${!xxx}. For instance: (run foo ${!^})
Add support for using the contents of a file inside an action:
- ${read:<file>}
- ${read-lines:<file>}
- ${read-strings:<file>} (same as read-lines but lines are escaped using OCaml convention)
When exiting prematurely because of a failure, if there are other background processes running and they fail, print these failures
With msvc, -lfoo is transparently replaced by foo.lib (@dra27, #127)
Automatically add the .exe when installing executables on Windows (#123)
(run <prog> ...) now resolves <prog> locally if possible. i.e. (run ${bin:prog} ...) and (run prog ...) behave the same. This seems like the right default
Fix a bug where jbuild rules would crash instead of reporting a proper build error
Fix a race condition in future.ml causing jbuilder to crash on Windows in some cases (#101)
Fix a bug causing ppx rewriter to not work properly when using multiple build contexts (#100)
Fix .merlin generation: projects in the same workspace are added to merlin's source path, so "locate" works on them.

1.0+beta9 (19/05/2017)

Add support for building Reason projects (@rgrinberg, #58)
Add support for building javascript with js-of-ocaml (@hhugo, #60)
Better support for topkg release workflow. See topkg-jbuilder for more details
Port the manual to rst and setup a jbuilder project on readthedocs.org (@rgrinberg, #78)
Hint for mistyped targets. Only suggest correction on the basename for now, otherwise it's slow when the workspace is big
Add a (package ...) field for aliases, so that one can restrict tests to a specific package (@rgrinberg, #64)
Fix a couple of bugs on Windows:
- fix parsing of end of lines in some cases
- do not take the case into account when comparing environment variable names
Add AppVeyor CI
Better error message in case a chain of dependencies crosses the installed world
Better error messages for invalid dependency list in jbuild files
Several improvements/fixes regarding the handling of findlib packages:
- Better error messages when a findlib package is unavailable
- Don't crash when an installed findlib package has missing dependencies
- Handle the findlib alternative directory layout which is still used by a few packages
Add jbuilder installed-libraries --not-available explaining why some libraries are not available
jbuilder now records dependencies on files of external libraries. This mean that when you upgrade a library, jbuilder will know what need to be rebuilt.
Add a jbuilder rules subcommand to dump internal compilation rules, mostly for debugging purposes
Ignore all directories starting with a . or _. This seems to be a common pattern:
- .git, .hg, _darcs
- _build
- _opam (opam 2 local switches)
Fix the hint for jbuilder external-lib-deps (#72)
Do not require ocamllex and ocamlyacc to be at the same location as ocamlc (#75)

1.0+beta8 (17/04/2017)

Added ${lib-available:<library-name>} which expands to true or false with the same semantic as literals in (select ...) stanzas
Remove hard-coded knowledge of a few specific ppx rewriters to ease maintenance moving forward
Pass the library name to ppx rewriters via the library-name cookie
Fix: make sure the action working directory exist before running it

Make the output quieter by default and add a --verbose argument (@stedolan, #40)
Various documentation fixes (@adrieng, #41)
Make @install the default target when no targets are specified (@stedolan, #47)

Add a -p/--for-release-of-packages command line argument to simplify the jbuilder invocation in opam files and make it more future proof (#52)
Fix the lookup of the executable in jbuilder exec foo. Before, even if foo was to be installed, the freshly built version wasn't selected
Don't generate a exists_if ... lines in META files. These are useless sine the META files are auto-generated

1.0+beta6 (29/03/2017)

Add an (executable ...) stanza for single executables (#33)
Add a (package ...) and (public_name <name>)/(public_names (<names)) to executable/executables stanzas to make it easier to install executables (#33)
Fix a bug when using specific rewriters that jbuilder knows about without ppx_driver.runner (#37). These problem should go away soon when we start using --cookie
Fix the interpretation of META files when there is more than one applicable assignment. Before this fix, the one with the lowest number of formal predicates was selected instead of the one with the biggest number of formal predicates

1.0+beta5 (22/03/2017)

When ocamlfind is present in the PATH, do not attempt to call opam config var lib
Make sure the build of jbuilder itself never calls ocamlfind or opam
Better error message when a jbuild file in OCaml syntax forgets to call Jbuild_plugin.V*.send
Added examples of use
Don't drop inline tests/benchmarks by default

1.0+beta4 (20/03/2017)

Improve error messages about invalid/missing pkg.opam files
Ignore all errors while running ocamlfind printconf path

1.0+beta3 (15/03/2017)

Print optional dependencies as optional in the output of jbuilder external-lib-deps --missing
Added a few forms to the DSL:
- with-{stderr,outputs}-to
- ignore-{stdout,stderr,outputs}
Added ${null} which expands to /dev/null on Unix and NUL on Windows
Improve the doc generated by odoc for wrapped libraries
Improve the error reported when an installed package depends on a library that is not installed

Fix the generated ppx(...) line in META files
Fix (optional) when a ppx runtime dependency is not available (#24)
Do not crash when an installed package that we don't need has missing dependencies (#25)

1.0+beta2 (10/03/2017)

Simplified the rules for finding the root of the workspace as the old ones were often picking up the home directory. New rules are:
- look for a jbuild-workspace file in parent directories
- look for a jbuild-workspace* file in parent directories
- use the current directory
Fixed the expansion of ${ROOT} in actions
Install quick-start.org in the documentation directory
Add a few more things in the log file to help debugging

1.0+beta1 (07/03/2017)

Added a manual
Support incremental compilation
Switched the CLI to cmdliner and added a build command (#5, @rgrinberg)
Added a few commands:
- runtest
- install
- uninstall
- installed-libraries
- exec: execute a command in an environment similar to what you would get after jbuilder install
Removed the build-package command in favor of a --only-packages option that is common to all commands
Automatically generate .merlin files (#2, @rdavison)
Improve the output of jbuilder, in particular don't mangle the output of commands when using -j N with N > 1
Generate a log in _build/log
Versioned the jbuild format and added a first stable version. You should now put (jbuilder_version 1) in a jbuild file at the root of your project to ensure forward compatibility
Switch from ppx_driver to ocaml-migrate-parsetree.driver. In order to use ppx rewriters with Jbuilder, they need to use ocaml-migrate-parsetree.driver
Added support for aliases (#7, @rgrinberg)
Added support for compiling against multiple opam switch simultaneously by writing a jbuild-workspace file
Added support for OCaml 4.02.3
Added support for architectures that don't have natdynlink
Search the root according to the rules described in the manual instead of always using the current directory
extended the action language to support common actions without using a shell:
- (with-stdout-to <file> <DSL>)
- (copy <src> <dst>)
- ...
Removed all implicit uses of bash or the system shell. Now one has to write explicitly (bash "...") or (system "...")
Generate meaningful versions in META files
Strengthen the scope of a package. Jbuilder knows about package foo only in the sub-tree starting from where foo.opam lives
