by a module.
* [15 Mar 11] Fixed differences of locations between OCaml and camlp5o (e.g.
in .annot files)
* [17 Feb 11] Pretty module now considers strings as utf8 encoded (impacts
computation of strings lengths).
* [04 Feb 11] Revised syntax: completed syntax multi labels, ~{x=y; z=t}
(equivalent to ~{x=y} ~{z=t}) in patterns (in 6.02.1 was implemented
only in expressions).
* [28 Jan 11] Added installed module 'Reloc': relocations and equalities
over syntax trees.
* [26 Jan 11] Fixed bug in camlp5o.opt: did not accept '$' as token.

Camlp5 Version 6.02.0:
----------------------
* [16 Nov 10] Fixed bug in pa_o.ml: !foo.(bar) was interpreted as !(foo.(bar))
instead of (!foo).(bar). Fixed compilation bug in pa_o.ml in transitional
mode.
* [16 Nov 10] Added parsing and printing utf8 greek letters and arrow in
revised syntax.
Camlp5 Version 6.02:

instead of !(Foo.bar) 2/ in top/camlp5_top.cma: the file ast2pt.cmo was
missing.
Camlp5 Version 6.01:
--------------------
* [03 Nov 10] Added in revised syntax for labels ~{lab x = y} as shortcut
for ~{lab = fun x -> y}.

does not need parenthesis any more (like for other entries of that kind).
* [19 Sep 10] In grammars, added list with separator with optional ending
separator (LIST0 .. SEP OPT_SEP and LIST1 .. SEP OPT_SEP).
* [19 Sep 10] Completed missing statements in particular in objects,
classes, and first class modules.
* [08 Sep 10] Added option '-flag O' of pr_r.cmo and pr_o.cmo which
add location comments in the output.
* [08 Sep 10] Added new chapters in the documentation:
- Directives
- Redefining OCaml syntax
* [08 Sep 10] Fixed option '-flag E' (equilibrate cases) of pr_r.cmo and
pr_o.cmo which did not work.
* [06 Sep 10] Changed revised syntax of 'inherit something [params]'
into 'inherit [params] something' (like in normal syntax).
* [06 Sep 10] Added missing statements:
- 'module type of' as module type,
- '(module ... : ...)' as expression,
- '(val ...)' ('value' in revised syntax) as module expression.
* [02 Sep 10] Added directive "#option" (in files, not in toplevel).
* [02 Sep 10] pa_macro.cmo: phrases inside IFDEF statements now are
implementation or interface items, which means:
- ability to use directives which are, therefore, conditional.
- in revised syntax must end with semicolon (incompatibility with
previous versions of Camlp5 where these semicolons are syntax
errors).
- in revised syntax, ability to put several phrases without having
to use "declare .. end".
* [30 Aug 10] pa_macro.cmo: added ability to use ELSIFDEF and ELSIFNDEF
in expressions, structure items and signature items.
* [27 Aug 10] Fixed bug in pa_macro.cmo A AND B computed B AND B.

of OCaml compilers.
* [20 Aug 10] Added compatibility for OCaml version 3.11.3.
* [18 Aug 10] Added function "get" in library module "Ploc", and a
statement "lprintf" similar to "pprintf" added by the syntax
extension kit "pa_pprintf.cmo".
Camlp5 Version 5.15:
--------------------

* [29 Jul 10] Added ability to write AST quotations with a colon before
the '<' (e.g. "<:expr:< foo >>") which, in pattern position, generates
a binding of the variable "loc" at the top node:
1/ normal usage (still working):
"fun [ <:expr< x >> -> 0 ]"
which is equivalent to:
"fun [ MLast.ExLid _ (Ploc.VaVal "x") -> 0 ]
2/ new usage:
"fun [ <:expr:< x >> -> 0 ]"
which is equivalent to:
"fun [ MLast.ExLid loc (Ploc.VaVal "x") -> 0 ]
* [21 Jun 10] Added compatibility for OCaml trunk version 3.13.0.
* [29 Apr 10] Fixed bug in pr_depend.cmo: a.B.c did not add module B.

* [08 Jun 09] Fixed bug in pr_r.cmo: missing case "#use" for structure and
signature items.
Camlp5 Version 5.12:
--------------------
* [23 May 09] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.11.1.
* [31 Dec 08] In macros (pa_macro.cmo):

built by "Plexer.gmake ()" must consider the input as utf-8 encoded.
Camlp5 Version 5.09:
--------------------
* [05 Jun 08] Changed all '#!/bin/bash" in shells scripts into '#!/bin/sh'
and changed all $(...) into `...` because there are compatibilities
problems according to Unix versions.
* [31 Mar 08] Fixed bug: "let f ~_x () = ()" generated syntax error.
* [31 Mar 08] Fixed bug: "x $ y" generated syntax error (normal syntax).
* [02 Jan 08] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.10.3.
Camlp5 Version 5.08:
--------------------
* [08 Feb 08] Fixed bug in normal syntax: a.{x,y} (access to big array) was
interpreted as a.{(x,y)}.
* [22 Jan 08] Added missing cases in printers pr_o and pr_r which displayed
the message "unable to print ...".
* [02 Jan 08] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.09.4 and 3.10.2.

if the library path name contained colons.
* [13 Jan 08] Added missing man page for camlp5sch (link to the same man
page as camlp5).
* [05 Jan 08] Added "pr_extprint.cmo", printer rebuilding EXTEND_PRINTER
statements in their original syntax.
* [05 Jan 08] Fixed bug in EXTEND_PRINTER statement: the match cases with
"when" did not work.

--------------------
* [02 Jan 08] Added "pprintf" statement to use the Camlp5 pretty print
system more easily and shortly.

* [28 Nov 07] Upgraded to reflect changes done in parse tree in current
OCaml (version 3.11+dev6).
* [27 Nov 07] Fixed bug in installation. Some files where installed in
the bin directory instead of lib directory.
* [27 Nov 07] Fixed bug in parsing comments: comments containing '\' where
incorrectly parsed.
Camlp5 Version 5.04:
--------------------
* [24 Nov 07] Fixed bug in install under MSVC Windows: object and library
files were not installed (using wrong extensions).
* [24 Nov 07] Fixed bug under Windows: line numbers in error messages were
wrong (twice the normal value).
* [24 Nov 07] Added ability to change the parsing algorithm of extensible
grammars, with the function "Grammar.set_algorithm" whose parameter can
be "predictive" or "backtracking".
* [22 Nov 07] Added backtracking parsers. Functions defined in the module
Fstream (already containing functional streams and parsers). Syntax
added in pa_fstream.cmo (already containing syntax for functinal streams
and parsers). The new syntax uses "bparser" instead of "fparser" and
a backtracking parser returns, together with its result and its
remaining stream, the continuation to compute the next solution.
Camlp5 Version 5.03:
--------------------
* [20 Nov 07] Added commands mkcamlp5 and mkcamlp5.opt to build camlp5
executables with predefined loaded modules. Added installation of ocpp
with name ocpp5, instead of just ocpp.
* [19 Nov 07] Added more installed cmx and cmxa files to allow building
native code linking of all combinations of Camlp5.
* [14 Nov 07] Fixed bug in pr_o.cmo: failed with printing "{a.(i) with ...}".
* [14 Nov 07] Fixed bug under Windows for the printers (pr_o.cmo, pr_r.cmo
and pr_scheme.cmo): extra return character '\r' was added at end of
lines.
* [09 Nov 07] Fixed bug in camlp5o.opt in strict mode: did not parse
correctly, in particular type expression (the version "camlp5o" without
".opt" however worked).
* [29 Oct 07] Added [Pcaml.inter_phrases], a way to set, by program,
the value of the "-sep" option of the printers kits.
* [28 Oct 07] Fixed bug in pa_fstream.cmo (functional parsers): the
keyword after "match with" was "parser" instead of "fparser" and
its code was wrong.
* [27 Oct 07] Added a default lexing buffer (in module [Plexing]) for
pa_lexer.cmo: then, the programmer does not need to write it any
more.
Camlp5 Version 5.02:
--------------------
* [14 Oct 07] Changed 'pa_lex.cmo' into 'pa_lexer.cmo' with a different
syntax (see the documentation).
* [14 Oct 07] In the EXTEND statement, added "LIKE s" as possible
level position to specify a level containing a rule containing "s"
in its keywords or tokens.
* [11 Oct 07] Rewritten parsers and printers in Scheme syntax. Deleted
old module Spretty.
Camlp5 Version 5.01:
--------------------
* [06 Oct 07] Fixed bug in grammars: there was a parsing confusion with
entries with qualified names with same final identifier, resulting
bad results. Example: (qualified names "Prim.ident" and "Constr.ident"
have the same final identifier "ident").
EXTEND
Prim.ident: [ [ ... ] ];
Constr.ident: [ [ ... ] ];
END;
* [05 Oct 07] In Scheme syntax (pa_scheme.cmo), added "type*" (symmetric
to "define*") and "exceptionrebind".
* [04 Oct 07] Added flag C in pr_r.cmo and pr_o.cmo to add comments inside
phrases (default = True).
* [01 Oct 07] Added flag E in pr_r.cmo and pr_o.cmo to ask to equilibrate
cases in 'match', 'if', 'parse', 'EXTEND' statements, i.e if one case does
not fit on the line, all cases must be cut (default = False).
* [01 Oct 07] Added module "Diff" in the library (general comparison of
two arrays). Implemented with the same algorithm as the Unix 'diff'
command.
* [01 Oct 07] Fixed bug in pa_o.cmo (normal syntax) introduced in version
5.00. The example: "function Atom atext as cur :: tl' -> 0" did not
parse, printing the error "incorrect alias pattern".
Camlp5 Version 5.00:
--------------------
* In Camlp5 compiled distributions, there are now two modes. If one wants
to compile Camlp5, the 'configure' script can select the mode:
The two modes are:
- transitional mode: the syntax tree is compatible with the previous
version; users don't have to change their programs, but in the
syntax tree quotations introduced by the new parsing kit
'q_ast.cmo', the antiquotations are not available.
- strict mode: the syntax tree is not compatible with the previous
version. The user programs may compile without change, but may
not. It depends on the fact that these programs use the syntax
tree with their constructors forms instead of their quotation
forms. There is a new feature: the syntax tree quotations in user
syntax, introduced by the new parsing kit 'q_ast.cmo".
* [25 Sep 07] Fixed bug: if parsing error at end of file, the error
message printed a bad line number.
* [17 Sep 07] Added [Ploc.call_with], a pervasive function.
* [15 Sep 07] Added 'q_ast.cmo': this is the syntax tree quotations in
the current syntax, including the possible user syntax extensions.
The antiquotations work only in 'strict' mode, not in 'transitional'
mode.
* [15 Sep 07] In module Pcaml, added grammar entries 'ipatt', 'match_case',
'constructor_declaration', 'with_constr', 'poly_variant'.
* [09 Sep 07] In macros (pa_macro.cmo):
- changed parameters syntax: now in curried form instead of parentheses,
- added ability to define macro type expressions in signatures, e.g.:
DEFINE V t = t -> t
- added ability to use IFDEF and IFNDEF for constructors declarations and
matchs cases.
* [08 Sep 07] Fixed bug in normal syntax (pa_o.cmo):
class foo : ?foo:unit -> bar
type foo = ?bar: unit -> unit;;
were accepted but not with space(s) after the colon:
class foo : ?foo: unit -> bar
type foo = ?bar : unit -> unit;;
* [06 Sep 07] Fixed problem of bad errors locations in Lisp and Scheme
syntaxes.
* [01 Sep 07] Renamed modules Stdpp into Ploc and Token into Plexing.
Changed the names of some of their definitions. Backward compatibility
assumed.
* [31 Aug 07] For packagers: added DESTDIR in Makefiles to allow installation
in fake root directories. Usage: make install DESTDIR=fake-root-dir
Camlp5 Version 4.08:
--------------------
* [] Updated documentation.
* [30 Aug 07] Added IFDEF macros for signatures (.mli files).
* [26 Aug 07] Added left factorization for consecutive rules of parsers
(and lexers).
* [21 Aug 07] Added equality functions over syntax trees in module Pcaml.
* [21 Aug 07] Improved compiled version (camlp5o.opt) to add the fact
that the grammar is LL(n) for rules starting with n terminals.
* [20 Aug 07] Updated library interface comments.
* [19 Aug 07] Added option -define with 'pa_macro.cmo' which prints the
predefined macros and exit.
* [16 Aug 07] Added pa_extprint.cmo, a new syntax for extensible pretty
printers adding a statement EXTEND_PRINTER (cf files pr_r.cmo and pr_o.ml
as examples). Added library module Eprinter. Changes (simplifications) in
interfaces of Pcaml for the printers.
Camlp5 Version 4.07:
--------------------
* [02 Aug 07] Fixed bug: option -o did not work for pr_r.cmo and pr_o.cmo
(was always stdout).
* [01 Aug 07] In EXTEND statement, added symbol FLAG: like OPT but return
a boolean value. The antiquotation kind "flag" must be used in this case,
but the "opt" still works by compatibility.
* [30 Jul 07] Fixed bug in normal syntax: let C x = C 1 was not accepted.
* [30 Jul 07] Changed pretty printing *normal* syntax: let C x = .. printed
like that, *not* transformed into let x = match .. with C x -> x.
Camlp5 Version 4.06:
--------------------
* [25 Jul 07] Fixed bug: in normal syntax, the declaration of a constructor
named "True" or "False" did not work.
* [25 Jul 07] While expanding stream parsers, transform unused bound
variables into wildcards to prevent compiler warnings.
* [21 Jul 07] Fixed bug in normal syntax and printing of normal syntax:
"poly type" was accepted with revised syntax, i.e. with "!" at beginning
and displayed like it. Fixed also the printing of abstract module type
which was not implemented. Added printing syntax of fun binding fof class
parameters.
* [20 Jul 07] Added revised syntax for bigarrays (same than normal syntax)
and pretty print them in their initial syntax.
* [18 Jul 07] In Grammar.Entry.print, local entries are displayed with
a star character "*".
* [18 Jul 07] In Grammar module, added type 'parsable', functions 'parsable'
and 'Entry.parse_parsable' like for the functorial interface.
Camlp5 Version 4.05:
--------------------
* [16 Jul 07] Fixed bug in normal syntax: optional semicolon was no more
accepted at end of stream patterns.
* [16 Jul 07] Fixed syntax problems with "~id:" and "~id :" (with a space).
Camlp5 Version 4.04:
--------------------
* [11 Jul 07] Renamed application as "camlp5".
* [11 Jul 07] Fixed compilation problems with ocaml version 3.08.1.
Camlp4s Version 4.03:
---------------------
* [10 Jul 07] Added argument "-name" in "configure" to specify another name
of commands and libraries (default = camlp4). E.g. "configure -name camlp5"
will build "camlp5", "camlp5r", "camlp5o", "camlp5.1", and so on, and
the library directory will be installed in ocaml library directory as
name "camlp5".
* [10 Jul 07] Deleted command "mkcamlp4" which seems not to work any more.
This will be fixed in a future version.
Camlp4s Version 4.02:
---------------------
* [08 Jul 07] Added missing compatibility with ocaml 3.10.0
* [05 Jul 07] Rebuilt pretty printers with new pretty printer module
* [27 Jun 07] Added private flag in type declarations and with constraints
* [21 Jun 07] Added "let..in" in parsers
* [14 Jun 07] Added html documentation for:
- the "extfun" statement
- the "fparser" statement
- the "lexer" statement
- the "parser" statement
- the "#pragma" directive
- the module Pretty
- the new pretty print in Camlp4 (using Pretty and "extfun")
* [14 Jun 07] Library module Sformat renamed Pretty. The first parameter
of the function horiz_vertic is now a function of type "unit -> 'a".
* [31 May 07] Quotation "row_field" renamed "poly_variant".
* [03 May 07] Fixed bug in pr_o: did not print "let f ?a = ()".
Camlp4s Version 4.01:
---------------------
* [27 Apr 07] Added compatibility with ocaml 3.11
Camlp4s Version 4.00:
---------------------
* [31 Jan 07] Added a new syntax, "lexer", to write parsers of characters
in a shorter way. New syntax extension "pa_lex.cmo".
* [26 Jan 07] Deleted "LOCATE" lexing token kind and associated parsing
stuff. Seems to be an old thing never used.
* [20 Jan 07] Added "lookahead" stream pattern component kind.
syntax ::= "?=" list lookhd_patt sep_by "|"
lookhd_patt ::= "[" list pattern sep_by ";" "]"
Checks the first stream elements against the pattern, without removing
them from the stream (but possibly unfreezing them), continues the stream
pattern if ok, fails (Stream.Failure or Stream.Error depending on the
position of the component) if not. If there are more than one lookahead
pattern, they must be of the same length. Examples in lib/plexer.ml.
* [31 Dec 06] Added the ability to add "!" (in Revised syntax) or "?!"
(in normal syntax) after a stream parser component to hint the preprocessor
that the called parser cannot fail (which must be true, but not checked)
which allows shorter code. E.g.
parser [: x = f; y = g ! :] -> (x, y)
This example is equivalent to:
parser [: x = f; s :] -> let y = g s in (x, y)
* [19 Dec 06] Added "pa_pragma.cmo" adding the directive "#pragma <expr>"
which executes <expr> in the context of the preprocessor.
* [16 Dec 06] Added ability to add directives: "Pcaml.add_directive".
* [05 Dec 06] Fixed old bug: "camlp4 foo/bar.cmo" now searchs from the
current directory (i.e in its subdirectory "foo"), instead of searching
in the path. Before, we had to write "camlp4 ./foo/bar.cmo".
* [01 Dec 06] In "pa_macro.cmo", the expression after IFDEF can use
the infix operators OR and AND, the prefix one NOT and expressions
between parentheses.
* [01 Dec 06] The same distribution can compile with several versions
of OCaml. After "./configure", the good version of OCaml interfaces
are selected.
* [01 Dec 06] The type "location" is now abstract. Defined in stdpp.mli.
* [01 Dec 06] First distributed version; started from old camlp4
version 3.06 and updated.
