CHANGES:

- Fix parsing of OCaml errors that contain code excerpts with `...` in them.
  (ocaml/dune#7008, @rgrinberg)

- Pre-emptively clear screen in watch mode (ocaml/dune#6987, fixes ocaml/dune#6884, @rgrinberg)

- Fix cross compilation configuration when a context with targets is itself a
  host of another context (ocaml/dune#6958, fixes ocaml/dune#6843, @rgrinberg)

- Fix parsing of the `<=` operator in *blang* expressions of `dune` files.
  Previously, the operator would be interpreted as `,`. (ocaml/dune#6928, @tatchi)

- Fix `--trace-file` output. Dune now emits a single *complete* event for every
  executed process. Unterminated *async* events are no longer written. (ocaml/dune#6892,
  @rgrinberg)

- Fix preprocessing with `staged_pps` (ocaml/dune#6748, fixes ocaml/dune#6644, @rgrinberg)

- Use colored output with MDX when Dune colors are enabled.
  (ocaml/dune#6462, @MisterDA)

- Make `dune describe workspace` return consistent dependencies for
  executables and for libraries. By default, compile-time dependencies
  towards PPX-rewriters are from now not taken into account (but
  runtime dependencies always are). Compile-time dependencies towards
  PPX-rewriters can be taken into account by providing the
  `--with-pps` flag. (ocaml/dune#6727, fixes ocaml/dune#6486, @esope)

- Print missing newline after `$ dune exec`. (ocaml/dune#6821, fixes ocaml/dune#6700, @rgrinberg,
  @Alizter)

- Fix binary corruption when installing or promoting in parallel (ocaml/dune#6669, fixes
  ocaml/dune#6668, @edwintorok)

- Use colored output with GCC and Clang when compiling C stubs. The
  flag `-fdiagnostics-color=always` is added to the `:standard` set of
  flags. (ocaml/dune#4083, @MisterDA)

- Fix the parsing of decimal and hexadecimal escape literals in `dune`,
  `dune-package`, and other dune s-expression based files (ocaml/dune#6710, @shym)

- Report an error if `dune init ...` would create a "dune" file in a location
  which already contains a "dune" directory (ocaml/dune#6705, @gridbugs)

- Fix the parsing of alerts. They will now show up in diagnostics correctly.
  (ocaml/dune#6678, @rginberg)

- Fix the compilation of modules generated at link time when
  `implicit_transitive_deps` is enabled (ocaml/dune#6642, @rgrinberg)

- Allow `$ dune utop` to load libraries defined in data only directories
  defined using `(subdir ..)` (ocaml/dune#6631, @rgrinberg)

- Format dune files when they are named `dune-file`. This occurs when we enable
  the alternative file names project option. (ocaml/dune#6566, @rgrinberg)

- Move `$ dune ocaml-merlin -dump-config=$dir` to `$ dune ocaml merlin
  dump-config $dir`. (ocaml/dune#6547, @rgrinberg)

- Allow compilation rules to be impacted by `(env ..)` stanzas that modify the
  environment or set binaries. (ocaml/dune#6527, @rgrinberg)

- Coq native mode is now automatically detected by Dune starting with Coq lang
  0.7. `(mode native)` has been deprecated in favour of detection from the
  configuration of Coq. (ocaml/dune#6409, @Alizter)

- Print "Leaving Directory" whenever "Entering Directory" is printed. (ocaml/dune#6149,
  fixes ocaml/dune#138, @cpitclaudel, @rgrinberg)

- Allow `$ dune ocaml dump-dot-merlin` to run in watch mode. Also this command
  shouldn't print "Entering Directory" mesages. (ocaml/dune#6497, @rgrinberg)

- `dune clean` should no longer fail under Windows due to the inability to
  remove the `.lock` file. Also, bring the implementation of the global lock
  under Windows closer to that of Unix. (ocaml/dune#6523, @nojb)

- Remove "Entering Directory" messages for `$ dune install`. (ocaml/dune#6513,
  @rgrinberg)

- Stop passing `-q` flag in `dune coq top`, which allows for `.coqrc` to be
  loaded. (ocaml/dune#6848, fixes ocaml/dune#6847, @Alizter)

- Fix missing dependencies when detecting the kind of C compiler we're using
  (ocaml/dune#6610, fixes ocaml/dune#6415, @emillon)

- Allow `(include_subdirs qualified)` for OCaml projects. (ocaml/dune#6594, fixes ocaml/dune#1084,
  @rgrinberg)

- Accurately determine merlin configuration for all sources selected with
  `copy#` and `copy_files#`. The old heuristic of looking for a module in
  parent directories is removed (ocaml/dune#6594, @rgrinberg)

- Fix inline tests with *js_of_ocaml* and whole program compilation mode
  enabled (ocaml/dune#6645, @hhugo)

- Fix *js_of_ocaml* separate compilation rules when `--enable=effects`
  ,`--enable=use-js-string` or `--toplevel` is used. (ocaml/dune#6714, ocaml/dune#6828, ocaml/dune#6920, @hhugo)

- Fix *js_of_ocaml* separate compilation in presence of linkall (ocaml/dune#6832, ocaml/dune#6916, @hhugo)

- Remove spurious build dir created when running `dune init proj ...` (ocaml/dune#6707,
  fixes ocaml/dune#5429, @gridbugs)

- Allow `--sandbox` to affect `ocamldep` invocations. Previously, they were
  wrongly marked as incompatible (ocaml/dune#6749, @rgrinberg)

- Validate the command line arguments for `$ dune ocaml top-module`. This
  command requires one positional argument (ocaml/dune#6796, fixes ocaml/dune#6793, @rgrinberg)

- Add a `dune cache size` command for displaying the size of the cache (ocaml/dune#6638,
  @Alizter)

- Add 4.14.0 MSVC to CI (ocaml/dune#6917, @jonahbeckford)

- Fix dependency cycle when installing files to the bin section with
  `glob_files` (ocaml/dune#6764, fixes ocaml/dune#6708, @gridbugs)

- Handle "Too many links" errors when using Dune cache on Windows (ocaml/dune#6993, @nojb)

CHANGES:

- Allow running `$ dune exec` in watch mode (with the `-w` flag). In watch mode,
  `$ dune exec` the executed binary whenever it is recompiled. (ocaml/dune#6966,
  @gridbugs)

- `coqdep` is now called once per theory, instead of one time per Coq
  file. This should significantly speed up some builds, as `coqdep`
  startup time is often heavy (ocaml/dune#7048, @Alizter, @ejgallego)

- Add `map_workspace_root` dune-project stanza to allow disabling of
  mapping of workspace root to `/workspace_root`. (ocaml/dune#6988, fixes ocaml/dune#6929,
  @richardlford)

- Fix handling of support files generated by odoc. (ocaml/dune#6913, @jonludlam)

  not set then the cinaps actions will be attached to both `@cinaps` and
  `@runtest` (ocaml/dune#6991, @rgrinberg)
