[new release] dune (15 packages) (3.11.0)

[emillon]

Fast, portable, and opinionated build system

• Project page: https://github.com/ocaml/dune
• Documentation: https://dune.readthedocs.io/

CHANGES:

• enabled_if now supports arch_sixtyfour variable (feature: allow arch_sixtyfour in enabled_if dune#8023, fixes Support the "word_size" variable in "enabled_if". dune#7997,
  @Alizter)

• Use posix_spawn instead of fork on MacOS. This gives us a performance
  boost and allows us to re-enable thread. (feature: use posix_spawn on macos dune#8090, @rgrinberg)

• Experimental: Added a $ dune monitor command that can connect to a running
  dune build in watch mode and display the errors and progress. (feature: dune monitor dune#8152,
  @Alizter)

• The progress RPC procedure now has an extra field for the In_progress
  constructor for the number of failed jobs. (feature(rpc): add failed jobs to progress dune#8212, @Alizter)

• Add a --preview flag to dune fmt which causes it to print out the changes
  it would make without applying them (Add flag to dune fmt to disable promoting dune#8289, @gridbugs)

• Introduce (source_trees ..) to the install stanza to allow installing
  entire source trees. (feature: allow installing source trees dune#8349, @rgrinberg)

• Add --stop-on-first-error option to dune build which will terminate the
  build when the first error is encountered. (feature: add --stop-on-first-error CLI option dune#8400, @pmwhite and @Alizter)

• Dune now displays the number of errors when waiting for changes in watch
  mode. (feature: show number of errors when waiting in watch mode dune#8408, fixes Watch mode should count failures when pending dune#6889, @Alizter)

• Add with_prefix keyword for changing the prefix of the destination of
  installed files matched by globs. (Add with_prefix keyword for installing globs dune#8416, @gridbugs)

• Added experimental --display tui option for Dune that opens an interactive
  Terminal User Interface (TUI) when Dune is running. Press '?' to open up a
  help screen when running for more information. (TUI dune#8429, @Alizter and
  @rgrinberg)

• Add a warnings field to dune-project files as a unified mechanism to
  enable or disable dune warnings (@rgrinberg, 8448)

• dune exec: support syntax like %{bin:program}. This can appear anywhere
  in the command line, so things like dune exec time %{bin:program} now work.
  (dune exec: support pform syntax dune#6035, dune exec: support pform syntax (rebased) dune#8474, fixes Allow dune exec underneath perf rather than having to specify a target from _build. dune#2691, @emillon, @Leonidas-from-XIV)

• Make copy sandbox support directory targets. (Add directory target support to copy sandbox dune#8705, fixes Copying Sandbox & Directory Targets dune#7724, @emillon)

• Add a new alias @doc-json to build odoc documentation in JSON format. This
  output can be consumed by external tools. (feature: dune build @doc-json dune#8178, @emillon)

• Modules that were declared in (modules_without_implementation),
  (private_modules) or (virtual_modules) but not declared in (modules)
  will raise an error. (chore: make undeclared modules check an error dune#7674, @Alizter)

• No longer emit linkopts(javascript) in META files (remove linkopts(javascript) from META dune#8168, @hhugo)

• Deprecate install destination paths beginning with ".." to prevent packages
  escaping their designated installation directories. (fix: Prevent relative install destinations leaking outside package install dir dune#8350, @gridbugs)

• RPC message styles are now serialised meaning that RPC diagnostics keep their
  Ansi styling. (rpc: serialize user message styles dune#8516, fixes Extend diagnostics RPC with display markup dune#6921, @Alizter)

• Truncate output from actions that produce too much output (@tov, chore(pkg): Update our vendored OPAM copy dune#8351)

• Allow libraries to shadow OCaml builtin libraries. Previously, builtin
  libraries would always take precedence. (@rgrinberg, fix: allow shadowing builtins dune#8558)

• Remove warning against .dune files generated by pre dune 2.0 (fix: remove check for [.dune] files dune#8611,
  @rgrinberg)

• dune utop no longer links utop in "custom" mode, which should make this
  command considerably faster. (dune utop: do not do custom linking dune#8631, fixes Revamp dune utop for greater speed dune#6894, @nojb)

• Ensure that package names in dune-project are valid opam package names.
  (feature: check package names are valid opam names dune#8331, @emillon)

• init: check that module names are valid (fix(init): check that module names are valid dune#8644, fixes Dune allows the creation of projects starting with numbers and the error message when building doesn't say it can't dune#8252, @emillon)

• dune init: parse --public as a public name (fix(init): parse --public as a public name dune#8603, fixes Dune init's --public doesn't allow dashes dune#7108, @emillon)

• Stop signing source files with substitutions. Sign only binaries instead
  (fix: only sign executables dune#8361, fixes Artifact substitution tries to sign .ml files dune#8360, @anmonteiro)

• Remove versions 0.1 and 0.2 of the experimental ctypes extension. (Delete ctypes extensions 0.1 and 0.2 dune#8293,
  @emillon)

I'll have a detailed look at the failures on Monday.

[emillon]

All good for me, these are not regressions.

[emillon]

ping?

[haochenx]

All looks good to me, but someone with more experience should double-check.

[emillon]

FYI, the newline issues in nuscr also happen on dune 3.10 so it's not a regression either.

Thanks! (I figured out exactly the same thing by trying to reproduce locally after crossing out the item after finding the commits that fixes it)

[avsm]

Looks good to me from scanning the failures. Might you create an issue about the nuscr problem, @emillon. In the meanwhile, merging!

I believe the problem has been fixed on the upstream (xref: nuscr/nuscr@ba4c7b2). I'll open a PR to ignore CI failures for the affected versions to reduce noise.

edit: since it's tricky to ignore tests on the CI (so far as I tried), and it's probably not a good idea to disable the tests at all, I ended up patching the tests using the upstream fix.
