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)

  • Make dune-site's load_all function look for META files so that it doesn't fail on empty directories in the plugin directory (#10458, fixes #10457, @shym)

  • 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)

3.15.3 (2024-05-24)

Fixed

  • Fix interpretation of exists_if predicate in META files of installed libraries containing more than one element. (#10564, fixes #10563, @dbuenzli, @nojb)

  • Fix TSAN warning in wait4 stubs (#10554, fixes #10553, @emillon)

3.15.2 (2024-04-23)

Fixed

  • If no directory targets are defined, then do not evaluate enabled_if (#10442, @rgrinberg)

  • Fix a bug where Coq projects were being rebuilt from scratch each time the dependency graph changed. (#10446, fixes #10149, @alizter)

3.15.1 (2024-04-17)

Fixed

  • Fix overflow in sendfile stubs (copy of large files could fail or end with truncated files) (#10333, @tonyfettes)

  • Fix crash when a rule with a directory target is disabled with enabled_if (#10382, fixes #10310, @gridbugs)

  • melange: remove all restrictions around virtual libraries in Melange. They may be used as otherwise in libraries and executables. (#10412, @anmonteiro)

  • spawn: fix compatibility with RHEL7 (#10428, @emillon)

3.15.0 (2024-04-03)

Added

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

  • Remove some unnecessary limitations in the expansions of percent forms in install stanza. For example, the %{env:..} form can be used to select files to be installed. (#10160, @rgrinberg)

  • Allow artifact expansion percent forms (%{cma:..}, %{cmo:..}, etc.) in more contexts. Previously, they would be randomly forbidden in some fields. (#10169, @rgrinberg)

  • Allow %{inline_tests} in more contexts (#10191, @rgrinberg)

  • Remove limitations on percent forms in the (enabled_if ..) field of libraries (#10250, @rgrinberg)

  • Support dialects in dune describe pp (#10283, @emillon)

  • Allow defining executables or melange emit stanzas with the same name in the same folder under different contexts. (#10220, @rgrinberg, @jchavarri)

Fixed

  • coq: Delay Coq rule setup checks so OCaml-only packages can build in hybrid Coq/OCaml projects when coqc is not present. Thanks to @vzaliva for the test case and report (#9845, fixes #9818, @rgrinberg, @ejgallego)

  • Fix conditional source selection with select on bigarray in OCaml 5 (#10011, @moyodiallo)

  • melange: fix inconsistency in virtual library implementation. Concrete modules within a virtual library can now refer to its virtual modules too (#10051, fixes #7104, @anmonteiro)

  • 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)

  • Regression fix: sign executables that are promoted into the source tree (#10263, fixes #9272, @emillon)

  • Fix crash when decoding dune-package for libraries with (include_subdirs qualified) (#10269, fixes #10264, @emillon)

Changed

  • Remove the --react-to-insignificant-changes option. (#10083, @rgrinberg)

3.14.2 (2024-03-12)

Fixed

  • fix compilation on non-glibc systems due to signal.h not being pulled in spawn stubs. (#10256, @emillon)

3.14.1 (2024-03-11)

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)

  • on Windows, use an unicode-aware version of CreateProcess to avoid crashes when paths contains non-ascii characters. (#10212, fixes #10180, @emillon)

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)

  • Add only_sources field to copy_files stanza (#9827, fixes #9709, @jchavarri)

  • The (foreign_library) stanza now supports the (enabled_if) field. (#9914, @nojb)

Fixed

  • Fix $ dune install -p incorrectly recognizing packages that are supposed to be filtered (#9879, fixes #4814, @rgrinberg)

  • subst: correctly handle opam files in opam/ subdirectory (#9895, fixes #9862, @emillon)

  • Odoc private rules are not set up if a library is not available due to enabled_if (#9897, @rgrinberg and @jchavarri)

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 to disable Coq 0.8 deprecation warning (#9439, @ejgallego)

  • 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

  • Check that package names in (depends) and related fields in dune-project are well-formed. (#9472, fixes #9270, @ElectreAAS)

Fixed

  • Do not ignore (formatting ..) settings in context or workspace files (#8447, @rgrinberg)

  • Fixed a bug where Dune was incorrectly parsing the output of coqdep when it was escaped, as is the case on Windows. (#9231, fixes #9218, @Alizter)

  • Forbid the empty (binaries ..) field in the env stanza in the workspace file unless language version is at least 3.2. (#9309, @rgrinberg)

  • [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).

  • Correctly ignore warning flags in vendored projects (#9515, @rgrinberg)

  • Use watch exclusions in watch mode on MacOS (#9643, fixes #9517, @PoorlyDefinedBehaviour)

  • Fix merlin configuration for (include_subdirs qualified) modules (#9659, fixes #8297, @rgrinberg)

  • Do not re-run rules when their location changes (#9052, @rgrinberg)

  • Correctly ignore bigarray on recent version of OCaml (#9076, @rgrinberg)

  • Add test_ prefix to default test name in dune init project (#9257, fixes #9131, @9sako6)

  • [coq rules] Be more tolerant when coqc --print-version / --config don't work properly, and fallback to a reasonable default. This fixes problems when building Coq projects with (stdlib no) and likely other cases. (#8966, fix #8958, @Alizter, reported by Lasse Blaauwbroek)

  • Dune will now run at a lower framerate of 15 fps rather than 60 when INSIDE_EMACS. (#8812, @Alizter)

  • dune-build-info: when version="" is found in a META file, we now return None as a version string (#9177, @emillon)

  • Dune can now be built and installed on Haiku (#8795, fix #8551, @Alizter)

  • Mark installed directories in dune-package files. This fixes (package) dependencies against packages that contain such directories. (#8953, fixes #8915, @emillon)

  • enabled_if now supports arch_sixtyfour variable (#8023, fixes #7997, @Alizter)

  • Use posix_spawn instead of fork on MacOS. This gives us a performance boost and allows us to re-enable thread. (#8090, @rgrinberg)

  • Experimental: Added a $ dune monitor command that can connect to a running dune build in watch mode and display the errors and progress. (#8152, @Alizter)

  • The progress RPC procedure now has an extra field for the In_progress constructor for the number of failed jobs. (#8212, @Alizter)

  • Add a --preview flag to dune fmt which causes it to print out the changes it would make without applying them (#8289, @gridbugs)

  • Introduce (source_trees ..) to the install stanza to allow installing entire source trees. (#8349, @rgrinberg)

  • Add --stop-on-first-error option to dune build which will terminate the build when the first error is encountered. (#8400, @pmwhite and @Alizter)

  • Dune now displays the number of errors when waiting for changes in watch mode. (#8408, fixes #6889, @Alizter)

  • Add with_prefix keyword for changing the prefix of the destination of installed files matched by globs. (#8416, @gridbugs)

  • Added experimental --display tui option for Dune that opens an interactive Terminal User Interface (TUI) when Dune is running. Press '?' to open up a help screen when running for more information. (#8429, @Alizter and @rgrinberg)

  • Add a warnings field to dune-project files as a unified mechanism to enable or disable dune warnings (@rgrinberg, 8448)

  • dune exec: support syntax like %{bin:program}. This can appear anywhere in the command line, so things like dune exec time %{bin:program} now work. (#6035, #8474, fixes #2691, @emillon, @Leonidas-from-XIV)

  • Make copy sandbox support directory targets. (#8705, fixes #7724, @emillon)

  • Modules that were declared in (modules_without_implementation), (private_modules) or (virtual_modules) but not declared in (modules) will raise an error. (#7674, @Alizter)

  • No longer emit linkopts(javascript) in META files (#8168, @hhugo)

  • Deprecate install destination paths beginning with ".." to prevent packages escaping their designated installation directories. (#8350, @gridbugs)

  • RPC message styles are now serialised meaning that RPC diagnostics keep their Ansi styling. (#8516, fixes #6921, @Alizter)

  • Truncate output from actions that produce too much output (@tov, #8351)

  • Allow libraries to shadow OCaml builtin libraries. Previously, builtin libraries would always take precedence. (@rgrinberg, #8558)

  • Remove warning against .dune files generated by pre dune 2.0 (#8611, @rgrinberg)

  • dune utop no longer links utop in "custom" mode, which should make this command considerably faster. (#8631, fixes #6894, @nojb)

  • Include source tree scans in the traces produced by --trace-file (#7937, @rgrinberg)

  • Cinaps: The promotion rules for cinaps would only offer one file at a time no matter how many promotions were available. Now we offer all the promotions at once (#7901, @rgrinberg)

  • Do not re-run OCaml syntax files on every iteration of the watch mode. This is too memory consuming. (#7894, fix #6900, @rgrinberg)

  • Add --all option to dune rpc status to show all Dune RPC servers running. (#8011, fix #7902, @Alizter)

  • Remove some compatibility code for old version of dune that generated .merlin files. Now dune will never remove .merlin files automatically (#7562)

3.8.1 (2023-06-05)

  • Fix a crash when using a version of Coq < 8.13 due to the native compiler config variable being missing. We now explicitly default to (mode vo) for these older versions of Coq. (#7847, fixes #7846, @Alizter)

  • Duplicate installed Coq theories are now allowed with the first appearing in COQPATH being preferred. This is inline with Coq's loadpath semantics. This fixes an issue with install layouts based on COQPATH such as those found in nixpkgs. (#7790, @Alizter)

  • Revert #7415 and #7450 (Resolve ppx_runtime_libraries in the target context when cross compiling) (#7887, fixes #7875, @emillon)

3.8.0 (2023-05-23)

  • Allow overriding the ocaml binary with findlib configuration (#7648, @rgrinberg)

  • merlin: ignore instrumentation settings for preprocessing. (#7606, fixes #7465, @Alizter)

  • When a rule's action is interrupted, delete any leftover directory targets. This is consistent with how we treat file targets. (#7564, @rgrinberg)

  • Fix plugin loading with findlib. The functionality was broken in 3.7.0. (#7556, @anmonteiro)

  • Introduce a public_headers field on libraries. This field is like install_c_headers, but it allows to choose the extension and choose the paths for the installed headers. (#7512, @rgrinberg)

  • Load the host context findlib.conf when cross-compiling (#7428, fixes #1701, @rgrinberg, @anmonteiro)

  • Add a coqdoc_flags field to the coq.theory stanza allowing the user to pass extra arguments to coqdoc. (#7676, fixes #7954 @Alizter)

  • Dune in watch mode no longer builds concurrent rules in serial (#7395 @rgrinberg, @jchavarri)

  • Dune can now detect Coq theories from outside the workspace. This allows for composition with installed theories (not necessarily installed with Dune). (#7047, @Alizter, @ejgallego)

  • 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)

  • Allow the main module of a library with (stdlib ...) to depend on other libraries (#7154, @anmonteiro).

  • Bytecode executables built for JSOO are linked with -noautolink and no longer depend on the shared stubs of their dependent libraries (#7156, @nojb)

  • Fix RPC server on Windows (used for OCaml-LSP). (#7666, @nojb)

  • Coq language versions less 0.8 are deprecated, and will be removed in an upcoming Dune version. All users are required to migrate to (coq lang 0.8) which provides the right semantics for theories that have been globally installed, such as those coming from opam (@ejgallego, @Alizter)

  • Pass correct flags when compiling stdlib.ml. (#7241, @emillon)

  • Handle "Too many links" errors when using Dune cache on Windows. The fix in 3.7.0 for this same issue was not effective due to a typo. (#7472, @nojb)

  • In (executable), (public_name -) is now equivalent to no (public_name). This is consistent with how (executables) handles this field. (#7576 , fixes #5852, @emillon)

  • Change directory of odoc assets to odoc.support (was _odoc_support) so that it works with Github Pages out of the box. (#7588, fixes #7364, @emillon)

3.7.0 (2023-02-17)

  • Allow running $ dune exec in watch mode (with the -w flag). In watch mode, $ dune exec the executed binary whenever it is recompiled. (#6966, @gridbugs)

  • Fix preprocessing with staged_pps (#6748, fixes #6644, @rgrinberg)

  • Use colored output with MDX when Dune colors are enabled. (#6462, @MisterDA)

  • Make dune describe workspace return consistent dependencies for executables and for libraries. By default, compile-time dependencies towards PPX-rewriters are from now not taken into account (but runtime dependencies always are). Compile-time dependencies towards PPX-rewriters can be taken into account by providing the --with-pps flag. (#6727, fixes #6486, @esope)

  • Print missing newline after $ dune exec. (#6821, fixes #6700, @rgrinberg, @Alizter)

  • Fix binary corruption when installing or promoting in parallel (#6669, fixes #6668, @edwintorok)

  • Allow compilation rules to be impacted by (env ..) stanzas that modify the environment or set binaries. (#6527, @rgrinberg)

  • Coq native mode is now automatically detected by Dune starting with Coq lang 0.7. (mode native) has been deprecated in favour of detection from the configuration of Coq. (#6409, @Alizter)

  • Print "Leaving Directory" whenever "Entering Directory" is printed. (#6419, fixes #138, @cpitclaudel, @rgrinberg)

  • Allow $ dune ocaml dump-dot-merlin to run in watch mode. Also this command shouldn't print "Entering Directory" mesages. (#6497, @rgrinberg)

  • dune clean should no longer fail under Windows due to the inability to remove the .lock file. Also, bring the implementation of the global lock under Windows closer to that of Unix. (#6523, @nojb)

  • Remove "Entering Directory" messages for $ dune install. (#6513, @rgrinberg)

  • Extend dune describe to include the root path of the workspace and the relative path to the build directory. (#6136, @reubenrowe)

  • Allow dune describe workspace to accept directories as arguments. The provided directories restrict the worskpace description to those directories. (#6107, fixes #3893, @esope)

  • Add a terminal persistence mode that attempts to clear the terminal history. It is enabled by setting terminal persistence to clear-on-rebuild-and-flush-history (#6065, @rgrinberg)

  • Disallow generating targets in sub directories in inferred rules. The check to forbid this was accidentally done only for manually specified targets (#6031, @rgrinberg)

  • Do not ignore rules marked (promote (until-clean)) when --ignore-promoted-rules (or -p) is passed. (#6010, fixes #4401, @emillon)

  • Added an (aliases ...) field to the (rules ...) stanza which allows the specification of multiple aliases per rule (#6194, @Alizter)

  • The (coq.theory ...) stanza will now ensure that for each declared (plugin ...), the META file for it is built before calling coqdep. This enables the use of the new Findlib-based loading method in Coq 8.16; however as of Coq 8.16.0, Coq itself has some bugs preventing this to work yet. (#6167 , workarounds #5767, @ejgallego)

  • Allow include statement in install stanza (#6139, fixes #256, @gridbugs)

  • Handle CSI n K code in ANSI escape codes from commands. (#6214, fixes #5528, @emillon)

  • Fix handling of the (deps) field in (test) stanzas when there is an .expected file. (#5952, #5951, fixes #5950, @emillon)

  • Ignore insignificant filesystem events. This stops RPC in watch mode from flashing errors on insignificant file system events such as changes in the .git/ directory. (#5953, @rgrinberg)

  • Fix parsing more error messages emitted by the OCaml compiler. In particular, messages where the excerpt line number started with a blank character were skipped. (#5981, @rgrinberg)

  • env stanza: warn if some rules are ignored because they appear after a wildcard rule. (#5898, fixes #5886, @emillon)

  • On Windows, XDG_CACHE_HOME is taken to be the FOLDERID_InternetCache if unset, and XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_DATA_HOME are both taken to be FOLDERID_LocalAppData if unset. (#5943, fixes #5808, @nojb)

  • Support new locations of unix, str, dynlink in OCaml >= 5.0 (#5582, @dra27)

  • The coq.theory stanza now produces rules for running coqdoc. Given a theory named mytheory, the directory targets mytheory.html/ and mytheory.tex/ or additionally the aliases @doc and @doc-latex will build the HTML and LaTeX documentation respectively. (#5695, fixes #3760, @Alizter)

  • Coq theories marked as (boot) cannot depend on other theories (#5867, @ejgallego)

  • Ignore bigarray in (libraries) with OCaml >= 5.0. (#5526, fixes #5494, @moyodiallo)

  • The output of jobs that finished but were cancelled is now omitted. (#5631, fixes #5482, @rgrinberg)

  • Allows to configure all the default destination directories with ./configure (adds bin, sbin, data, libexec). Use OPAM_SWITCH_PREFIX instead of calling the opam binaries in dune install. Fix handling of multiple libdir in ./configure for handling /usr/lib/ocaml/ and /usr/local/lib/ocaml. In dune install forbid relative directories in libdir, docdir and others specific directory setting because their handling was inconsistent (#5516, fixes #3978 and #5455, @bobot)

  • Warn if dune-project is not found (fatal in release mode) (#5343, @emillon)

  • Cleanup temporary files after running $ dune exec. (#4260, fixes #4243, @rgrinberg)

  • Add a new subcommand dune ocaml dump-dot-merlin that prints a mix of all the merlin configuration of a directory (defaulting to the current directory) in the Merlin configuration syntax. (#4250, @voodoos)

  • 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.

  • Delete old promote-into, promote-until-clean and promote-until-clean-into syntax (#5091, Andrey Mokhov).

  • Add link_flags in the env stanza (#5215)

  • Bootstrap: ignore errors when trying to remove generated files. (#5407, @damiendoligez)

  • Fix bug for the install of Coq native files when using (include_subdirs qualified) (#4753, @ejgallego)

  • Allow users to specify install target directories for doc and etc sections. We add new options --docdir and --etcdir to both Dune's configure and dune install command. (#4744, fixes #4723, @ejgallego, thanks to @JasonGross for reporting this issue)

  • Fix issue where Dune would ignore (env ... (coq (flags ...))) declarations appearing in dune files (#4749, fixes #4566, @ejgallego @rgrinberg)

  • Disable some warnings on Coq 8.14 and (lang coq (>= 0.3)) due to the rework of the Coq "native" compilation system (#4760, @ejgallego)

  • Fix a bug where instrumentation flags would be added even if the instrumentation was disabled (@nojb, #4770)

  • Fix #4682: option -p takes now precedence on environment variable DUNE_PROFILE (#4730, #4774, @bobot, reported by @dra27 #4632)

  • Fix installation with opam of package with dune sites. The .install file is now produced by a local dune install during the build phase (#4730, #4645, @bobot, reported by @kit-ty-kate #4198)

  • Fix multiple issues in the sites feature (#4730, #4645 @bobot, reported by @Lelio-Brun #4219, by @Kakadu #4325, by @toots #4415)

2.8.5 (28/03/2021)

  • Fixed absence of executable bit for installed .cmxs (#4149, fixes #4148, @bobot)

  • Fix a race in Dune cache. It was particularly easy to hit this race when using the cache on Windows (#4406, fixes #4167, @snowleopard)

2.8.4 (08/03/2021)

  • Fix crash when META file for compiler-libs.toplevel is present (@jeremiedimino, #4249)

  • Make patdiff show refined diffs (#4257, fixes #4254, @hakuch)

  • Fixed a bug that could result in needless recompilation under Windows due to case differences in the result of Sys.getcwd (observed under emacs). (#3966, @nojb).

  • Restore compatibility with Coq < 8.10 for coq-lang < 0.3 , document that (using coq 0.3) does require Coq 8.10 at least (#4224, fixes #4142, @ejgallego)

  • Add a META rule for compiler-libs.native-toplevel (#4175, @altgr)

  • No longer call chmod on symbolic links (fixes #4195, @dannywillems)

  • Have dune communicate the location of the standard library directory to merlin (#4211, fixes #4188, @nojb)

  • Workaround incorrect exception raised by Unix.utimes (OCaml PR#8857) in Path.touch on Windows. This fixes dune cache in direct mode on Windows. (#4223, @dra27)

  • dune ocaml-merlin is now able to provide configuration for source files in the _build directory. (#4274, @voodoos)

  • Automatically delete left-over Merlin files when rebuilding for the first time a project previously built with Dune <= 2.7. (#4261, @voodoos, @aalekseyev)

  • Fix ppx.exe being compiled for the wrong target when cross-compiling (#3751, fixes #3698, @toots)

  • dune top correctly escapes the generated toplevel directives, and make it easier for dune top to locate C stubs associated to concerned libraries. (#4242, fixes #4231, @nojb)

  • Do not pass include directories containing native objects when compiling bytecode (#4200, @nojb)

2.8.2 (21/01/2021)

  • Fixed dune --version printing n/a rather than the version

2.8.0 (13/01/2021)

  • dune rules accepts aliases and other non-path rules (#4063, @mrmr1993)

  • Action (diff reference test_result) now accept reference to be absent and in that case consider that the reference is empty. Then running dune promote will create the reference file. (#3795, @bobot)

  • Ignore special files (BLK, CHR, FIFO, SOCKET), (#3570, fixes #3124, #3546, @ejgallego)

  • Experimental: Simplify loading of additional files (data or code) at runtime in programs by introducing specific installation sites. In particular it allow to define plugins to be installed in these sites. (#3104, #3794, fixes #1185, @bobot)

  • Move all temporary files created by dune to run actions to a single directory and make sure that actions executed by dune also use this directory by setting TMPDIR (or TEMP on Windows). (#3691, fixes #3422, @rgrinberg)

  • Fix bootstrap script with custom configuration. (#3757, fixes #3774, @marsam)

  • Add the executable field to inline_tests to customize the compilation flags of the test runner executable (#3747, fixes #3679, @lubegasimon)

  • Make sure Dune cleans up the status line before exiting (#3767, fixes #3737, @alan-j-hu)

  • Add {gitlab,bitbucket} as options for defining project sources with source stanza (source (<host> user/repo)) in the dune-project file. (#3813, @rgrinberg)

  • Fix generation of META and dune-package files when some targets (byte, native, dynlink) are disabled. Previously, dune would generate all archives for regardless of settings. (#3829, #4041, @rgrinberg)

  • 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)

  • dune subst now accepts common command-line arguments such as --debug-backtraces (#3878, @ejgallego)

  • dune describe now also includes information about executables in addition to that of libraries. (#3892, #3895, @nojb)

  • instrumentation backends can now receive arguments via (instrumentation (backend <name> <args>)). (#3906, #3932, @nojb)

  • Tweak auto-formatting of dune files to improve readability. (#3928, @nojb)

  • Add a switch argument to opam when context is not default. (#3951, @tmattio)

  • Avoid pager when running $ git diff (#3912, @AltGr)

  • Add (root_module ..) field to libraries & executables. This makes it possible to use library dependencies shadowed by local modules (#3825, @rgrinberg)

  • Allow (formatting ...) field in (env ...) stanza to set per-directory formatting specification. (#3942, @nojb)

  • [coq] In coq.theory, :standard for the flags field now uses the flags set in env profile flags (#3931 , @ejgallego @rgrinberg)

  • [coq] Add -q flag to :standard coqc flags , fixes #3924, (#3931 , @ejgallego)

  • Add support for Coq's native compute compilation mode (@ejgallego, #3210)

  • 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)

  • Add missing .aux & .glob targets to coq rules (#3721, fixes #3437, @rgrinberg)

  • Fix dune-package installation when META templates are present (#3743, fixes #3746, @rgrinberg)

  • Resolve symlinks before running $ git diff (#3750, fixes #3740, @rgrinberg)

  • Cram tests: when checking that all test directories contain a run.t file, skip empty directories. These can be left around by git. (#3753, @emillon)

2.7.0 (13/08/2020)

  • Write intermediate files in a .mdx folder for each mdx stanza to prevent the corresponding actions to be executed as part of the @all alias (#3659, @NathanReb)

  • Read Coq flags from env (#3547 , fixes #3486, @gares)

  • Add instrumentation framework to toggle instrumentation by bisect_ppx, landmarks, etc, via dune-workspace and/or the command-line. (#3404, #3526 @stephanieyou, @nojb)

  • Formatting of dune files is now done in the executing dune process instead of in a separate process. (#3536, @nojb)

  • Add a --debug-artifact-substitution flag to help debug problem with version not being captured by dune-build-info (#3589, @jeremiedimino)

  • Fix compatibility with OCaml 4.12.0 when compiling empty archives; no .a file is generated. (#3576, @dra27)

  • $ dune utop no longer tries to load optional libraries that are unavailable (#3612, fixes #3188, @anuragsoni)

  • Fix dune-build-info on 4.10.0+flambda (#3599, @emillon, @jeremiedimino).

  • (copy_files ...) now supports copying files from outside the workspace using absolute file names (#3639, @nojb)

  • Dune does not use ocamlc as an intermediary to call C compiler anymore. Configuration flags ocamlc_cflags and ocamlc_cppflags are always prepended to the compiler arguments. (#3565, fixes #3346, @voodoos)

  • 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)

  • Add "odoc" {with-doc} to the dependencies in the generated .opam files. (#3667, @kit-ty-kate)

  • Do not allow user actions to capture dune's stdin (#3677, fixes #3672, @rgrinberg)

  • (subdir ...) stanzas can now appear in dune files used via (include ...). (#3676, @nojb)

  • Add actions pipe-{stdout,stderr,outputs} for output redirections (#3392, fixes #428, @NathanReb)

2.6.2 (26/07/2020)

2.6.0 (05/06/2020)

  • 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. When using dune lang < 2.6, the usage of forbidden variables in executables stanzas with only trigger a warning to maintain compatibility. (#3408 and #3496, fixes #3354, @voodoos)

  • Insert a constraint one the version of dune when the user explicitly specify the dependency on dune in the dune-project file (#3434 , fixes #3427, @diml)

  • Generate correct META files for sub-libraries (of the form lib.foo) that contain .js runtime files. (#3445, @hhugo)

  • Add a (no-infer ...) action that prevents inference of targets and dependencies in actions. (#3456, fixes #2006, @roddyyaga)

  • Correctly infer targets for the diff? action. (#3457, fixes #2990, @greedy)

  • Fix $ dune print-rules crashing (#3459, fixes #3440, @rgrinberg)

  • Simplify js_of_ocaml rules using js_of_ocaml.3.6 (#3375, @hhugo)

  • Add a new ocaml-merlin subcommand that can be used by Merlin to get configuration directly from dune instead of using .merlin files. (#3395, @voodoos)

  • Remove experimental variants feature and make default implementations part of the language (#3491, fixes #3483, @rgrinberg)

2.5.1 (17/04/2020)

  • Fix a bug introduced in 2.4.0 causing .bc programs to be built with -custom by default (#3269, fixes #3262, @diml)

  • Allow contexts to be defined with local switches in workspace files (#3265, fix #3264, @rgrinberg)

  • Delay expansion errors until the rule is used to build something (#3261, fix #3252, @rgrinberg, @diml)

  • [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)

  • Load ppx rewriters in dune utop and add pps field to toplevel stanza. Ppx extensions will now be usable in the toplevel (#3266, fixes #346, @stephanieyou)

  • Add a (subdir ..) stanza to allow evaluating stanzas in sub directories. (#3268, @rgrinberg)

  • Fix a bug preventing one from running inline tests in multiple modes (#3352, @diml)

  • Allow the use of the %{profile} variable in the enabled_if field of the library stanza. (#3344, @mrmr1993)

2.4.0 (06/03/2020)

  • Add mdx extension and stanza version 0.1 (#3094, @NathanReb)

  • Allow to make Odoc warnings fatal. This is configured from the (env ...) stanza. (#3029, @Julow)

  • Fix separate compilation of JS when findlib is not installed. (#3177, @nojb)

  • Add a dune describe command to obtain the topology of a dune workspace, for projects such as ROTOR. (#3128, @diml)

  • Add plugin linking mode for executables and the (embed_in_plugin_libraries ...) field. (#3141, @nojb)

  • Add an %{ext_plugin} variable (#3141, @nojb)

  • Dune will no longer build shared objects for stubs if supports_shared_libraries is false (#3225, fixes #3222, @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)

2.3.1 (20/02/2020)

  • 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)

  • Fix a bug causing all executables to be considered as optional (#3163, @diml)

2.3.0 (15/02/2020)

  • Improve validation and error handling of arguments to dune init (#3103, fixes #3046, @shonfeder)

  • dune init exec NAME now uses the NAME argument for private modules (#3103, fixes #3088, @shonfeder)

  • Avoid linear walk to detect children, this should greatly improve performance when a target has a large number of dependencies (#2959, @ejgallego, @aalekseyev, @Armael)

  • [coq] Add (boot) option to (coq.theories) to enable bootstrap of Coq's stdlib (#3096, @ejgallego)

  • [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)

  • Do not fail if ocamldep, ocamlmklib, or ocaml are absent. Wait for them to be used to fail (#3138, @rgrinberg)

  • Introduce a strict_package_deps mode that verifies that dependencies between packages in the workspace are specified correctly. (@rgrinberg, #3117)

  • 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).

  • Extend the list of modifiers that can be nested under with-accepted-exit-codes with chdir, setenv, ignore-<outputs>, with-stdin-from and with-<outputs>-to (#3027, fixes #3014, @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)

  • Correctly build vendored packages in -p mode. These packages were incorrectly filtered out before. (#3075, @diml)

  • Do not install vendored packages (#3074, @diml)

  • make now prints a message explaining the main targets available (#3085, fix #3078, @diml)

2.1.1 (07/01/2020)

  • Guess foreign archives & native archives for libraries defined using the META format. (#2994, @rgrinberg, @anmonteiro)

2.1.0 (21/12/2019)

  • Attach cinaps stanza actions to both @runtest and @cinaps aliases (#2831, @NathanReb)

  • Add variables %{lib-private...} and %{libexec-private...} for finding build paths of files in public and private libraries within the same project. (#2901, @snowleopard)

  • Add --mandir option to $ dune install. This option allows to override the installation directory for man pages. (#2915, fixes #2670, @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

  • Stop symlinking object files to main directory for stanzas defined jbuild files (#2440, @rgrinberg)

  • Library names are now validated in a strict fashion. Previously, invalid names would be allowed for unwrapped libraries (#2442, @rgrinberg)

  • mli only modules must now be explicitly declared. This was previously a warning and is now an error. (#2442, @rgrinberg)

  • 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)

  • Set up formatting rules by default. They can be configured through a new (formatting) stanza in dune-project (#2347, fixes #2315, @emillon)

  • 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.

1.11.4 (09/10/2019)

  • Allow to mark directories as data_only_dirs without including them as dirs (#2619, fix #2584, @rgrinberg)

1.11.3 (23/08/2019)

  • Fix a ppx hash collision in watch mode (#2546, fixes #2520, @diml)

1.11.2 (20/08/2019)

  • Remove the optimisation of passing -nodynlink for executables when not necessary. It seems to be breaking things (see #2527, @diml)

  • Fix invalid library names in dune-package files. Only public names should exist in such files. (#2558, fix #2425, @rgrinberg)

1.11.1 (09/08/2019)

  • Fix config file dependencies of ocamlformat (#2471, fixes #2464, @nojb)

  • Cleanup stale directories when using (source_tree ...) in the presence of directories with only sub-directories and no files (#2514, fixes #2499, @diml)

1.11.0 (23/0
