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 <file> <DSL>)
  • (copy <src> <dst>)

  …

• 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
