   4 This is an archived public release of MLton, version 20130715.

   6 == Changes since the last public release ==
   7
   8 // * New platforms.
   9 // ** ???
  10 * Compiler.
  11 ** Cosmetic improvements to type-error messages.
  12 ** Removed features:
  13 *** Bytecode codegen: The bytecode codegen had not seen significant use and it was not well understood by any of the active developers.
  14 *** Support for `.cm` files as input: The <:MLBasis:ML Basis system> provides much better infrastructure for "programming in the very large" than the (very) limited support for CM.  The `cm2mlb` tool (available in the source distribution) can be used to convert CM projects to MLB projects, preserving the CM scoping of module identifiers.
  15 ** Bug fixes: see <!RawGitFile(mlton,on-20130715-release,doc/changelog)>
  16 * Runtime.
  17 ** Bug fixes: see <!RawGitFile(mlton,on-20130715-release,doc/changelog)>
  18 * Language.
  19 ** Interpret `(*#line line:col "file" *)` directives as relative file names.
  20 ** <:MLBasisAnnotations:ML Basis annotations>.
  21 *** Added: `resolveScope`
  22 * Libraries.
  23 ** <:BasisLibrary:Basis Library>.
  24 *** Improved performance of `String.concatWith`.

  26 *** Support additional variables with `Posix.ProcEnv.sysconf`.
  27 *** Bug fixes: see <!RawGitFile(mlton,on-20130715-release,doc/changelog)>
  28 ** <:MLtonStructure:MLton structure>.
  29 *** Removed: `MLton.Socket`

  31 *** Updated: <:CKitLibrary:ckit library>, <:MLRISCLibrary:MLRISC library>, <:SMLNJLibrary:SML/NJ library>
  32 *** Added: <:MLLPTLibrary:MLLPT library>
  33 * Tools.
  34 ** `mllex`
  35 *** Generate `(*#line line:col "file.lex" *)` directives with simple (relative) file names, rather than absolute paths.
  36 ** `mlyacc`
  37 *** Generate `(*#line line:col "file.grm" *)` directives with simple (relative) file names, rather than absolute paths.
