4.19-414

CHANGES:

Mon Jun 23 10:10:42 CEST 2024

• merlin library
  • Expose utilities to manipulate typed-holes in Merlin_analysis.Typed_hole
    (#1888)
  • inlay-hints fix inlay hints on function parameters (#1923)
  • Handle class type in outline (#1932)
  • Handle locally defined value in outline (#1936)
• vim plugin
  • Added support for search-by-type (#1846)
    This is exposed through the existing :MerlinSearch command, that
    switches between search-by-type and polarity search depending on the
    first character of the query.

5.4.1-503

CHANGES:

Mon Jan 13 10:55:42 CET 2025

• ocaml-index
  • Bump magic number after index file format change (#1886)

5.4-503

CHANGES:

Fri Jan 10 17:55:42 CET 2025

• merlin binary
  • Support for OCaml 5.3
  • Use new 5.3 features to improve locate behavior in some cases. Merlin no
    longer confuses uids from interfaces and implementations. (#1857)
  • Perform less merges in the indexer (#1881)
  • Add initial support for project-wide renaming: occurrences can now return
    all usages of all related definitions. (#1877)
• vim plugin
  • Added support for search-by-type (#1846)
    This is exposed through the existing :MerlinSearch command, that
    switches between search-by-type and polarity search depending on the
    first character of the query.

5.3-502

CHANGES:

Tue Nov 26 17:30:42 CET 2024

• merlin binary
  • Respect the EXCLUDE_QUERY_DIR configuration directive when looking for cmt
    files (#1854)

    PWD rather than the SOURCE_ROOT (#1855)
  • Fix exception in polarity search (#1858 fixes #1113)
  • Fix jump to fun targets not working (#1863, fixes #1862)
  • Fix type-enclosing results instability. This reverts some overly
    aggressive deduplication that should be done on the client side. (#1864)
  • Fix occurrences not working when the definition comes from a hidden source
    file (#1865)

5.2.1-502

CHANGES:

Fri Sep 27 12:02:42 CEST 2024

• merlin binary
  • A new WRAPPING_PREFIX configuration directive that can be used to tell Merlin
    what to append to the current unit name in the presence of wrapping (#1788)
  • Add -unboxed-types and -no-unboxed-types as ocaml ignored flags (#1795, fixes #1794)
  • destruct: Refinement in the presence of optional arguments (#1800 #1807, fixes #1770)
  • Implement new expand-node command for expanding PPX annotations (#1745)
  • Implement new inlay-hints command for adding hints on a sourcetree (#1812)
  • Implement new search-by-type command for searching values by types (#1828)
  • Canonicalize paths in occurrences. This helps deduplicate the results and
    show more user-friendly paths. (#1840)
  • Fix dot-merlin-reader ignoring SOURCE_ROOT and STDLIB directives
    (#1839, #1803)
• editor modes
  • vim: fix python-3.12 syntax warnings in merlin.py (#1798)
  • vim: Dead code / doc removal for previously deleted MerlinPhrase command (#1804)
  • emacs: Improve the way that result of polarity search is displayed (#1814)
  • emacs: Add merlin-search-by-type, merlin-search-by-polarity and change the
    behaviour of merlin-search to switch between by-type or by-polarity
    depending on the query (#1828)
