• Support for OCaml 4.08.0: additions to modules Float, Format (mostly unimplemented), Fun, List (filter_map), Sys (max_floatarray_length)

Version 8, 2018-12-10

• Fix: module Fun was not exported
• Fix: value Stdlib.protect was not exported
• Fix: equality between aliases of Stdlib.result and of Seq.t

• Lexing.new_line
• Bigarray: only available from 4.02.0. From 4.02.0 and before 4.07.0, --no-alias-deps is used to allow the alias to appear in Stdcompat without requiring the library to be linked. Bigarray library should be linked if it is effectively used.
• Fix implementations with --disable-magic
• Fix license conflict: The project was intended to be under BSD license since the beginning, and a LICENSE file was provided accordingly. However, automake generated a COPYING file with the GPLv3 by default. The COPYING file now contains the BSD license, and the LICENSE file is removed. (reported by Török Edwin, https://github.com/ocamllibs/stdcompat/issues/5)
• Fix auto-generated interfaces for Hashtbl.MakeSeeded
• Exceptions are reexported again. They were missing in auto-generated interfaces.
• min_binding_opt and max_binding_opt are not redefined if OCaml >=4.05.

• Array.of_seq is redefined in OCaml 4.07.0 to circumvent a bug in the implementation of the standard library. See:

  • https://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=7820
  • https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/1897

Version 5, 2018-07-11

• Interfaces are auto-generated.
• stdcompat is now free from any required dependency. There are still optional dependencies with respect to the packages result, seq and uchar: stdcompat takes care of providing types compatible with these packages if they are installed.
• Preprocessing is performed by "./configure" script (generated by autoconf). cppo and the C preprocessor are no longer used.
• Makefile is generated by automake. ocamlfind is no longer required for installation.
• Split implementation into one module for each standard library module (suggested by Yotam Barnoy: https://github.com/ocamllibs/stdcompat/issues/4)
• All modules are now exported as sub-modules of Stdlib module (as in OCaml 4.07) -- Bigarray is not exported to allow programs not to be compiled with this module, this may change in the future. (suggested by Yotam Barnoy: https://github.com/ocamllibs/stdcompat/issues/4)
• Compatibility with uchar package

Version 4, 2018-05-30

• Fix link problems with hypot, copy_sign, ldexp and classify_float

Version 3, 2018-04-25

• Missing List.of_seq/List.to_seq
• Remove spurious Float.seeded_hash_param (suggested by Hezekiah M. Carty: https://github.com/ocamllibs/stdcompat/pull/2)
• Compatibility with seq and result packages (suggested by Hezekiah M. Carty: https://github.com/ocamllibs/stdcompat/issues/1)
• Magic implementations of {Set,Map,Hashtbl,Queue,Stack}.to_seq*, Hashtbl.filter_map_inplace, Hashtbl.stats, Stack.fold, Set.find*, Set.map. Pure implementations are available by building with "make USE_MAGIC=false"
• jbuild script (Hezekiah M. Carty)

Version 2, 2018-04-19

• Redefinitions for Pervasives are now in Stdcompat.Pervasives (they were previously defined at the root of Stdcompat), and the module Stdcompat.Pervasives is included in Stdcompat, so that opening Stdcompat makes the redefinitions visible in the scope.
• Float module (OCaml 4.07.0)
• Seq module and of_seq/to_seq/...

Version 1, 2017-11-14

• Initial release
