CHANGES:

This release is mostly about reducing the number of dependencies.
The only API change is that write_message_to_file_robust has gone.

  • Remove extunix dependency (#57).
    write_message_to_file_robust was its only user, and wasn't used by anything.
    Using fsync to ensure a file is written to disk is a general function that
    should be handled by the user of capnp where needed.
    Removing extunix also removes the indirect dependency on camlp4,
    which in turn allows capnp to build with OCaml 4.08 (and to build faster on all versions).

  • Remove Pervasives qualifier (#57).
    This is needed to support OCaml 4.08 without warnings.

  • Remove dependency on Core from benchmarks (#55).
    This was the only remaining use of the library.

  • Replace uses of Core_kernel with plain Base and Stdio in the compiler (#56)
    and tests (#59).
    This greatly reduces the number of libraries you need to install to install capnp.

  • Update tests for the current quickcheck API (#54).

  • Switch from jbuilder to dune (#54).

  • Require OCaml >= 4.03 (#54).
    This allows us to drop some complexity from the jbuilder files,
    allowing them to be upgraded automatically by dune.

  • Upgrade to opam 2 format (#54).

  • Convert the changelog to markdown (#58).
    This allows it to be used with dune-release.

With these changes, the following 49 libraries that were needed to install
capnp-ocaml 3.2.1 are no longer required: base_bigstring, base_quickcheck,
bin_prot, camlp4, core_kernel, extunix, fieldslib,
jane-street-headers, jst-config, num, ocaml-compiler-libs,
ocaml-migrate-parsetree, octavius, parsexp, ppx_assert, ppx_base,
ppx_bench, ppx_bin_prot, ppx_compare, ppx_custom_printf,
ppx_derivers, ppx_enumerate, ppx_expect, ppx_fail, ppx_fields_conv,
ppx_hash, ppx_here, ppx_inline_test, ppx_jane, ppx_js_style,
ppx_let, ppxlib, ppx_module_timer, ppx_optcomp, ppx_optional,
ppx_pipebang, ppx_sexp_conv, ppx_sexp_message, ppx_sexp_value,
ppx_stable, ppx_typerep_conv, ppx_variants_conv, re, seq, sexplib,
splittable_random, time_now, typerep and variantslib.
