CHANGES:

Fri Feb 24 16:55:42 CEST 2023

  + merlin binary
    - Recognize OCaml 5.0 cmi magic number in compiler version mismatch message
      (ocaml/merlin#1554, fixes ocaml/merlin#1553)
    - Upgrade Merlin from the RC2 to the stable 5.0.0 compiler release (ocaml/merlin#1559,
      fixes ocaml/merlin#1558)
    - Improve type-enclosing behaviour when used on records' labels (ocaml/merlin#1565,
      fixes ocaml/merlin#1564)
    - Restore compatibility with the compiler's command line by accepting the
      `-safe-string` flag as a no-op instead of rejecting it (ocaml/merlin#1544, fixes
      ocaml/merlin#1518)
    - Traverse aliases when jumping to declaration. This matches
      jump-to-definition's behavior (ocaml/merlin#1563)
    - Improve locate's behavior in various ill-typed expressions (ocaml/merlin#1546, fixes
      ocaml/merlin#1567 and partially ocaml/merlin#1543)
    - Correctly traverse patterns when looking for docs in the typedtree (ocaml/merlin#1572)
    - Get documentation when the declaration or definition is selected (ocaml/merlin#1542,
      fixes ocaml/merlin#1540)
    - On Windows, change to a harmless directory when launching server to avoid
      locking down current directory (ocaml/merlin#1569, fixes ocaml/merlin#1474)
  + editor modes
    - emacs: Fix misuse of `eq` comparison (ocaml/merlin#1549, @mattiase)
    - emacs: xref works from context menus; better highlighting of xref matches;
      xref recognises operators and binding operators at the cursor position;
      bad locations are filtered out (ocaml/merlin#1385, fixes ocaml/merlin#1410, @mattiase)
  + test suite
    - Add a test for incorrect alert defaults (ocaml/merlin#1559)
    - Add multiple tests for locate over ill-typed expressions (ocaml/merlin#1546)
    - Add non-regression tests for other fixes in this release

+Quick setup for VIM
+-------------------
+Append this to your .vimrc to add merlin to vim's runtime-path:
+  let g:opamshare = substitute(system('opam var share'),'\\n$','','''')
+  execute \"set rtp+=\" . g:opamshare . \"/merlin/vim\"
+
+Also run the following line in vim to index the documentation:
+  :execute \"helptags \" . g:opamshare . \"/merlin/vim/doc\"
+
+Quick setup for EMACS
+-------------------
+Add opam emacs directory to your load-path by appending this to your .emacs:
+  (let ((opam-share (ignore-errors (car (process-lines \"opam\" \"var\" \"share\")))))
+   (when (and opam-share (file-directory-p opam-share))
+    ;; Register Merlin
+    (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name \"emacs/site-lisp\" opam-share))
+    (autoload 'merlin-mode \"merlin\" nil t nil)
+    ;; Automatically start it in OCaml buffers
+    (add-hook 'tuareg-mode-hook 'merlin-mode t)
+    (add-hook 'caml-mode-hook 'merlin-mode t)
+    ;; Use opam switch to lookup ocamlmerlin binary
+    (setq merlin-command 'opam)))
+
+Take a look at https://github.com/ocaml/merlin for more information
+
+Quick setup with opam-user-setup
+--------------------------------
+
+Opam-user-setup support Merlin.
+
+  $ opam user-setup install
+
+should take care of basic setup.
+See https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam-user-setup
