1.0+beta17 (23/01/2018) ----------------------- - Make jbuilder aware that `num` is an external package in OCaml >= 4.06.0 (#358) - `jbuilder exec` will now rebuild the executable before running it if necessary. This can be turned off by passing `--no-build` (#345) - 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) - Add support for cross-compilation. Currently we are supporting the opam-cross-x repositories such as [opam-cross-windows](https://github.com/whitequark/opam-cross-windows) (#355) - 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 )` 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 customise 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) - Display a warning for invalid lines in jbuild-ignore (#389) 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, Francois 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 - Fix a bug related to `menhir` stanzas: `menhir` stanzas with a `merge_into` field that were in `jbuild` files in sub-directories where incorectly 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, Thomas Gazagnaire) - Fix recompilation of native artifacts. Regression introduced in the last version (1.0+beta12) when digests replaces timestamps for checking staleness (#238, David Allsopp) 1.0+beta12 (18/08/2017) ----------------------- - Fix the quoting of `FLG` lines in generated `.merlin` files (#200, Marcello Seri) - Use the full path of archive files when linking. Before jbuilder would do: `-I file.cmxa`, now it does `-I /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, Francois Bobot) - Allow `(:include ...)` forms in all `*flags` fields (#153, David Allsopp) - Add a `utop` subsommand. Running `jbuilder utop` in a directory builds and executes a custom `utop` toplevel with all libraries defined in the current directory (#183, Rudi Grinberg) - 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 `.opam` file for a given pacakge - 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 `${ROOT}` - Fix useless hint when all missing dependencies are optional (#137) - Fix a bug preventing one from generating `META.pkg.template` with a custom rule (#190) - Fix compilation of reason projects: .rei files where ignored and caused the build to fail (#184) 1.0+beta10 (08/06/2017) ----------------------- - Add a `clean` subcommand (Richard Davison, #89) - Add support for generating API documentation with odoc (#74) - Don't use unix in the bootstrap script, to avoid surprises with Cygwin - Improve the behavior of `jbuilder exec` on Windows - Add a `--no-buffer` option to see the output of commands in real-time. Should only be used with `-j1` - Deprecate `per_file` in preprocessing specifications and rename it `per_module` - Deprecate `copy-and-add-line-directive` and rename it `copy#` - Remove the ability to load arbitrary libraries in jbuild file in OCaml syntax. Only `unix` is supported since a few released packages are using it. The OCaml syntax might eventually be replaced by a simpler mechanism that plays better with incremental builds - Properly define and implement scopes - Inside user actions, `${^}` 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:}` - `${read-lines:}` - `${read-strings:}` (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` (David Allsopp, #127) - Automatically add the `.exe` when installing executables on Windows (#123) - `(run ...)` now resolves `` 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 (Rudi Grinberg, #58) - Add support for building javascript with js-of-ocaml (Hugo Heuzard, #60) - Better support for topkg release workflow. See [topkg-jbuilder](https://github.com/diml/topkg-jbuilder) for more details - Port the manual to rst and setup a jbuilder project on readthedocs.org (Rudi Grinberg, #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 (Rudi Grinberg, #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 - Severel 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:}` 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 1.0+beta7 (12/04/2017) ---------------------- - Make the output quieter by default and add a `--verbose` argument (Stephen Dolan, #40) - Various documentation fixes (Adrien Guatto, #41) - Make `@install` the default target when no targets are specified (Stephen Dolan, #47) - Add predefined support for menhir, similar to ocamlyacc support (Rudi Grinberg, #42) - Add internal support for sandboxing actions and sandbox the build of the alias module with 4.02 to workaround the compiler trying to read the cmi of the aliased modules - Allow to disable dynlink support for libraries via `(no_dynlink)` (#55) - 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 )/(public_names (.opam` file - Fixed a bug where `.merlin` files where not generated at the root of the workspace (#20) - Fix a bug where a `(glob_files ...)` would cause other dependencies to be ignored - 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, Rudi Grinberg) - 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, Richard Davison) - 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, Rudi Grinberg) - Added support for compiling against multiple opam switch simultaneously by writing a `jbuild-worspace` 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 )` + `(copy )` + ... - Removed all implicit uses of bash or the system shell. Now one has to write explicitely `(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 0.1.alpha1 (04/12/2016) ----------------------- First release
