OCaml 5.5 Released
23 days ago
- OCaml 5.5.0 introduces module-dependent functions, allowing modules as function arguments for lightweight functors.
- The compiler is now relocatable, enabling switches to be cloned without recompilation for faster setup.
- Higher-rank polymorphic functions can be defined directly using explicit type annotations in function arguments.
- New string functions for searching and replacing substrings are added, using constant-space algorithms.
- Generalized local definitions permit defining types, classes, or module types locally.
- External types enhance FFI interoperability by making types distinguishable for better GADT behavior.
- GC improvements include a sweep-only phase at major GC start and an idle phase for smoother performance.
- Windows implementation no longer relies on Winpthreads, with many incremental changes and bug fixes.
Magit 4.6 Released
22 days ago
- Magit version 4.6 released with 313 commits since the last release.
- Magit is a text-based Git user interface streamlining workflows with mnemonic key sequences.
- Improvements focus on blob-visiting buffers, enhancing performance and user experience.
- Volatile blob buffers are cached for reuse, supporting features like syntax-highlighting.
- Blobs can be visited using only a blob object id, not requiring a revision and path.
- Added syntax highlighting for diffs, but it's disabled by default due to synchronous processing delays.
- Future support for asynchronous diff syntax highlighting planned.
- New Git variables introduced for calling Elisp hooks from Git hooks, requiring Git v2.54.0 or greater.
- Commands added for compiling lists of modified definitions in diffs and inserting them into commit messages.
- Completion of symbols in commit messages now includes modified definitions and symbols from changed lines.
Rust 1.97.0
16 days ago
- Rust 1.97.0 stable release announcement, including update instructions via rustup.
- Symbol mangling v0 enabled by default, replacing the legacy Itanium-based scheme.
- Cargo now supports denying warnings, improving CI workflows and cache efficiency.
- Linker output no longer hidden by default, revealing warnings for debugging.
- Stabilized APIs include methods for integers and NonZero types, and const context updates.
Primate 0.40: Route pages, store enums, async schemas and events
12 days ago
- Primate 0.40 introduces collocated route pages, allowing routes to render frontend files next to them using response.page.
- Layouts can also be collocated, with layout components receiving props and children from the route.
- Store enums (p.enum) are now integrated into stores, providing validated, typed enums that store as plain integers.
- Derived and async schemas are added; .derive transforms parsed values, and p.async supports async post-processing.
- SSE cleanup is simplified with a single setup function, and an events module (primate/events) enables in-memory keyed subscriptions.
- App imports now use a single @/* TypeScript alias, replacing previous specific aliases to avoid collisions.
- HTML templates are moved from pages to templates directory for clarity, separating document templates from route pages.
- Autoapplying migrations can be enabled in production, eliminating the need to manually run migration commands.
