Changes breaking compatibility are marked with a "* " bullet instead
of the usual "- ".
NEXT_RELEASE:
-------------
0.16.1 (13 Feb 2025):
---------------------
OCamlbuild 0.16.1 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, #361 by Pierre Boutillier, reviewed by Kate Deplaix and Hugo Heuzard,
requested by whitequark in #181)
- Misc: continue improving the CI
(#355 by Hugo Heuzard)
0.15.0 (29 Jun 2024):
----------------------
OCamlbuild 0.15.0 comes with first class support for native Windows ports of OCaml
(MinGW64-w64 and MSVC). This support was historically provided by
[opam-repository-mingw](https://fdopen.github.io/opam-repository-mingw/).
- Misc: restore CI (unix, macos, windows)
(#328, #329, #336, #349 by Hugo Heuzard)
* Remove degraded mode for windows
(#333 by Hugo Heuzard)
- Remove light mode (#332 by Hugo Heuzard)
- Make the codebase work on windows native
(#329, #333, #334, #338, #339, #342, #343, #344 by Hugo Heuzard)
* No longer treat empty path in PATH env variable as the current working directory
(#339 by Hugo Heuzard)
- Emit a warning if several calls are made to
`Ocamlbuild_plugin.dispatch` -- all calls before the last one are
ignored, which may not be what users expect.
(#30 by Gabriel Scherer, review by whitequark)
- Rename user-rebindable {LINK,COMP}FLAGS into OCB_{LINK,COMP}FLAGS
(#303 by Gabriel Scherer)
0.14.3 (20 Dec 2023):
---------------------
- Add OCaml 5.2 support
(#325 by Hugo Heuzard)
- Quote Makefile arguments to allow spaces in paths, especially on Windows.
Documented in #321 (#324 by Jonah Beckford)
0.14.2 (28 Sep 2022):
---------------------
- Add OCaml 5.1 support
(#319 by Kate Deplaix, reviewed by Gabriel Scherer)
0.14.1 (09 Feb 2021):
---------------------
- Add OCaml 5.00 support
(#315 by Kate Deplaix, reviewed by Gabriel Scherer)
- Fix race conditions when invoking ocamlbuild in parallel from a makefile
(#302 by Gabriel Scherer)
- Removes .so from products of all cmxs rules
(#305 by Ivan Gotovchits, reviewed by Gabriel Scherer)
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)
0.13.1 (15 Sep 2018):
---------------------
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.
- #287: 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)
0.13.0 (8 Sep 2018):
--------------------
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)
0.12.0 (11 Nov 2017):
---------------------
OCamlbuild 0.12.0 is a maintenance release containing mostly bugfixes
and a few user-contributed features.
- #227: install signatures.{mli,cmi,cmti} to help documentation tools
(Daniel Bünzli and Gabriel Scherer)
- #232: fix Windows install rules
(David Allsopp)
- #234: add "afl_instrument" and "afl_inst_ratio" flags for corresponding
ocamlopt options.
(Jeremy Yallop)
- #237: extend cc/ccopt/cclib flags to apply to "ocaml" compilation as well,
as tweaking the C linker can be required for pure-OCaml projects -- see #236
(Gabriel Scherer, report by Nathan Rebours)
- #253: only run native tests if ocamlopt is available.
(Ximin Luo, review by whitequark and Gabriel Scherer)
- #256, #258: pass -keep-docs and -keep-locs when using -pack
(Gabriel Scherer, report by Vincent Jacques)
- #257, #259: add `_opam` to the list of directories ignored by default;
it is used for package-local opam switches
(Gabriel Scherer, request by Edwin Török)
0.11.0 (5 Mar 2017):
--------------------
OCamlbuild 0.11.0 introduces a change to the way `.cmxs` files are
produced when no `.mldylib` file is absent: it will now use the exact
same semantics as `.cmxa` and `.mllib` file -- in particular, it
should not be necessary anymore to have identical
`foo.{mllib,mldylib}` files, only `foo.mllib` should suffice. See the
detailed changelog below for details.
- #111: added "nostdlib" flag for corresponding ocaml{c,opt} options
(Thomas Wood)
- #115: add `node_modules` to the list of directories ignored by default
(.svn/, CVS/, .bzr/, .hg/, .git/, _darcs/, node_modules/)
(Yunxing Dai)

(Gabriel Scherer, report by whitequark)
* #132, #159: remove the rule ".cmx -> .cmxs"
Previously, there was a ".cmx -> .cmxa" rule that would
pull a module and its dependencies in a .cmxa, and a separate
".cmx -> .cmxs" rule that would pull only a module as a .cmxs.
The latter is a reasonable default choice, the idea being that
a module's dependencies may often be statically linked with the
program instead of being dynamically linked. But it conflicts with
the presence of a rule ".cmxa -> .cmxs" as soon as the library has
the same name as one of the modules it contains.
The reason why the rule ".cmxa -> .cmxs" matter is that it can be
composed with the rule ".mllib -> .cmxa" to build .cmxs files from
.mllib files, without having to copy each .mllib file into
a separate .mldylib file.
In other terms, the previous behaviour would, by default (in absence
of .mldylib file who always takes priority), only link the module in
the .cmxs file, and people wishing otherwise would have to write
a list of modules in a .mldylib file. The new behavior will, by
default, take the .mllib file or the module dependencies (as for
.cmxa) to build a .cmxs file, and people wishing otherwise will have
to write just the module name in a .mldylib file.
It is unclear whether this change will break some projects on which
users relied on the previous semantics. It seems equally likely that
the previous semantics, when it applied, was a source of bugs
(the .cmxs files didn't have the expected modules) that would not be
discovered by people not testing dynamic linking. Such bugs have
been found and fixed in the following cases:
- <https://github.com/dbuenzli/uucp/pull/9>
- <https://github.com/dbuenzli/uunf/pull/4>
- <https://github.com/dbuenzli/uuseg/pull/4>

- #124, #136: do not explicitly pass -shared when building shared libraries;
let the compiler decide what to build.
(whitequark)
- #143-171: migration of Mantis bugtracker issues to the github issue tracker
(Damien Doligez)
- #172-175, #177: setting up Continuous Infrastructure (CI) testsuite checks

- #202: install license, changes and readme in opam's docdir for `odig`
(Gabriel Scherer, request and review by Daniel Bünzli)
* #240: new heuristic for handling the OCAMLLIB environment variable.
`ocamlbuild -where` will ignore OCAMLLIB completely if OCAMLBUILD_LIBDIR is
not a lexical subdirectory of OCAML_LIBDIR (i.e. an opam installation).
Otherwise, it now returns $OCAMLLIB with the difference between
OCAMLBUILD_LIBDIR and OCAML_LIBDIR appended (i.e. for a normal findlib
installation, it now returns $OCAMLLIB/site-lib/ocamlbuild)
(David Allsopp, review by Gabriel Schere)
- "noautolink" tag for ocaml{c,opt}
(Gabriel Scherer)
0.10.{0,1} (Dec 2016):
----------------------
These releases were never widely distributed, because of
a quickly-caught regression due to the change of .cmxs compilation
behavior (#132), fixed with the help Daniel Bünzli, Jérémie Dimino
and, in particular, whitequark.
0.9.3 (6 Oct 2016):
-------------------
OCamlbuild 0.9.3 introduces several features contributed or requested
by our users. See the detailed changelog below.
- #39: new ".o -> .clib" rule to build libraries out of single C stubs
(Gabriel Scherer, request by whitequark)
- #78: Integrate the in-progress OCamlbuild manual, previously located at
https://github.com/gasche/manual-ocamlbuild
into the ocamlbuild repository, in the manual/ subdirectory.
The most current version of the manual can thus be accessed at
https://github.com/ocaml/ocamlbuild/tree/master/manual/manual.adoc
(Gabriel Scherer)
- #93: added "noassert" and "unsafe" flag for corresponding ocaml{c,opt} options
(François Pottier)

strict_formats, strict_sequence, warn, warn_error
(Gabriel Scherer, report by Knuth Posern)
0.9.2 (1 May 2016):
-------------------
OCamlbuild 0.9.2 is a release to support OCaml 4.03. Martin Neuhäußer
contributed new flags for flambda-specific optimization options. We
also extend the scope of the flags -opaque and -for-pack, to align
with 4.03 best practices. Note that OCamlbuild should still work
correctly under older OCaml releases.
- #67: Add support for flambda's optimization parameters
The flags are named according to the flambda options with two exceptions:
optimization_rounds(int) for -rounds <int>
optimize({2,3,classic}) for -O{2,3,classic}
(Martin Neuhäußer)
- #70 (partial): fix hygiene complains about the build directory under
Windows
(Andreas Hauptmann, Gabriel Scherer)
- #73: also pass predicates(foo) to ocamldep
(Jérémie Dimino)
- extend the scope of the -opaque flag under 4.03
(Gabriel Scherer)
- extend the scope of the -for-pack flag to ocamlc,
as recommend by OCaml compiler maintainers in
[PR#5996](http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5995#c13339)

branch; this version that should be usable for testing packages using
4.03 before its release.
- Do not exclude files whose name starts with '_' from the source tree
(Gabriel Scherer, report by Daniel Bünzli on the caml-list)
- #44: When ocamlbuild discovers a cycle in the dependencies, the
displayed problematic path is now refined to the actual cycle
(François Bobot, review by Armaël Géneau)
- #51: synchronize handling of -o flag for C files with upstream OCaml
(whitequark)
OCamlbuild 0.9.0 (19 Jan 2016):
-------------------------------
OCamlbuild 0.9.0 is an experimental release designed to help testing
OCaml software in preparation for the 4.03 release -- the first one to
not include ocamlbuild.

The content below corresponds to the old Changelog, before ocamlbuild was
included in the OCaml distribution. The version control history of those changes
is unfortunately lost, but the log below is kept for historical purposes.
(The use of a "* " bullet below does not indicate
a compatibility-breaking change, it was just the standard format for
this Changelog.)
