OCamlbuild 0.16.0 improves ocamlbuild's behavior when cross-compiling for Windows. - Set default values of `Options.ext_*` and `Options.exe` from the output of `Options.ocamlc "-config"` (Useful when `Options.ocamlc` is a cross compiler) (#353 by Pierre Boutillier, reviewed by Kate Deplaix and Hugo Heuzard, requested by whitequark in #181) - Misc: continue improving the CI (#355 by Hugo Heuzard)
0.14.0 (23 Feb 2019): --------------------- Compared to the previous released version (0.12.0), OCamlbuild 0.14.0 contains new features (`ppopt(..)` and `ppxopt(...)` flags, ocamlbuild options) and support for OCaml 4.08+dev. * Revert the change to "pack" handling from the never-released 0.13 (#272), which turns out to break compatibility with too many projects. At this point in the lifetime of ocamlbuild usage, it's more important to keep building existing projects than to improve the build system for new projects -- of course the latter is also nice, but not when it endangers compatibility. (Gabriel Scherer) The other changes from 0.13 are as follows: - #45, #190: add ppopt(arg) and ppxopt(package,arg) when -use-ocamlfind (Gabriel Scherer, review by whitequark, request by Gabriel Scherer, Gabriel Radanne and Pavel Argentov) - #268, #269: add flag support for some ocamlmklib options: custom, debug, failsafe, linkall, ccopt(..), cclib(..), rpath(..), ldopt(..) (Gabriel Scherer, report by Hannes Mehnert, review by whitequark) - #278: typo fixes in the manual (Xinzhe Yang) - #282: fix compilation with trunk OCaml (4.08+dev) (Xavier Clerc and Nandor Licker)
This bugfix release attempts to fix a regression due to the change in "pack" handling in 0.13.0. It is not clear whether the regression should be considered a bug in 0.13.0 or an incorrect _tags file in the broken package, but we prefer to fix it anyway. - #286: change "linkpkg" flag definition to not apply in the new "pack"++"link" mode introduced by #272. This avoids a build failure in webidl.1.4 and possibly other packages using "true: linkpkg". (Gabriel Scherer, report by Andreas Hauptmann)
OCamlbuild 0.13.0 contains new features (`ppopt(..)` and `ppxopt(...)… …` flags, ocamlbuild options) and bugfixes (to pack production, for 4.08+dev support). - #45, #190: add ppopt(arg) and ppxopt(package,arg) when -use-ocamlfind (Gabriel Scherer, review by whitequark, request by Gabriel Scherer, Gabriel Radanne and Pavel Argentov) - #268, #269: add flag support for some ocamlmklib options: custom, debug, failsafe, linkall, ccopt(..), cclib(..), rpath(..), ldopt(..) (Gabriel Scherer, report by Hannes Mehnert, review by whitequark) * #272: add the "link" tag to "pack" actions Instead of a separate category, "pack" is now another form of linking like "program", "library", "toplevel" and "output_obj". This fixes the issue that package(...) tags where not passed at pack-production time, spotted by Jérémie Dimino. More generally, this extends the meaning of all "link" flags to "pack", which seems to be the correct behavior for all the rules we inspected. (Gabriel Scherer, original issue diagnosis by Jérémie Dimino) - #278: typo fixes in the manual (Xinzhe Yang) - #282: fix compilation with trunk OCaml (4.08+dev) (Xavier Clerc and Nandor Licker)
