1.9.0

CHANGES:

Fixes

• Ppx processes are now executed correctly (#513)

Breaking Change

• ocamllsp drops support for .merlin files, and as a consequence no longer
  depends on dot-merlin-reader. (#523)

Features

• New code action to automatically remove values, types, opens (#502)

1.8.3

CHANGES:

• Fix debouncing of document updates. It was essentially complicated broken in
  all but the most trivial cases. (#509 fixes #504)

• Fix completion when passing named and functional arguments (#512)

1.8.2

CHANGES:

• Disable experimental dune support. It was accidentally left enabled.

1.8.1

CHANGES:

• Update to latest merlin.

1.8.0

CHANGES:

Features

• Add a new code action Add missing rec keyword, which is available when
  adding a rec keyword can fix Unbound value ... error, e.g.,

  let fact n = if n = 0 then 1 else n * fact (n - 1)
                                     (* ^^^^ Unbound value fact *)

  Adding rec to the definition of fact will fix the problem. The new code
  action offers adding rec.

• Use ocamlformat to properly format type snippets. This feature requires the
  ocamlformat-rpc opam package to be installed. (#386)

• Add completion support for polymorphic variants, when it is possible to pin
  down the precise type. Examples (<|> stands for the cursor) when completion
  will work (#473)

  Function application:

  let foo (a: [`Alpha | `Beta]) = ()
  
  foo `A<|>
  

  Type explicitly shown:

  let a : [`Alpha | `Beta] = `B<|>
  

  Note: this is actually a bug fix, since we were ignoring the backtick when
  constructing the prefix for completion.

• Parse merlin errors (best effort) into a more structured form. This allows
  reporting all locations as "related information" (#475)

• Add support for Merlin Construct command as completion suggestions, i.e.,
  show complex expressions that could complete the typed hole. (#472)

• Add a code action Construct an expression that is shown when the cursor is
  at the end of the typed hole, i.e., _|, where | is the cursor. The code
  action simply triggers the client (currently only VS Code is supported) to
  show completion suggestions. (#472)

• Change the formatting-on-save error notification to a warning notification
  (#472)

• Code action to qualify ("put module name in identifiers") and unqualify
  ("remove module name from identifiers") module names in identifiers (#399)

  Starting from:

  open Unix
  
  let times = Unix.times ()
  let f x = x.Unix.tms_stime, x.Unix.tms_utime

  Calling "remove module name from identifiers" with the cursor on the open
  statement will produce:

  open Unix
  
  let times = times ()
  let f x = x.tms_stime, x.tms_utime

  Calling "put module name in identifiers" will restore:

  open Unix
  
  let times = Unix.times ()
  let f x = x.Unix.tms_stime, x.Unix.tms_utime

Fixes

• Do not show "random" documentation on hover

  • fixed by merlin#1364
  • fixes duplicate:
    • ocaml-lsp#344
    • vscode-ocaml-platform#111

• Correctly rename a variable used as a named/optional argument (#478)

• When reporting an error at the beginning of the file, use the first line not
  the second (#489)

1.7.0

CHANGES:

Features

• Add sub-errors as "related" information in diagnostics (#457)

• Add support for navigating to a symbol inside a workspace (#398)

1.6.1

CHANGES:

Fixes

• Switch verbosity from 1 to 0. This is the same default that merlin uses.
  The old value for verbosity (#433)

• Get fresh diagnostics (warning and error messages) on a file save (#438)

  Note: If you want the fresh diagnostics to take into account changes in other
  files, you likely need to rebuild your project. An easy way to get automatic
  rebuilds is to run dune in a watching mode, e.g.,[dune build --watch].

1.6.0

CHANGES:

Features

• Code action to annotate a value with its type (#397)

Fixes

• Fix interface/implementation switching on Windows (#427)

• Correctly parse project paths with spaces and other special characters that
  must be escaped.

• Print types with -short-paths even if the project wasn't built yet

1.5.0

CHANGES:

• Support 4.12 and drop support for all earlier versions

• Update to the latest version of merlin

Distribution 1.4.1

CHANGES:

Fixes

• Backport fixes from merlin (#382, #383)

• Encode request & notification params in a list. This is required by the
  spec. (#351)
