List of Changes for Otags

2017-08-26: otags 4.05.1 released

• Update for OCaml 4.05.
• Enable tagging of attributes and methods in class signature, now that the OCaml parsetree contains the necessary location info.
• Support pre-processed files with line directives again: For this, all files are read twice now, because the standard OCaml parser does not tell if it found a line directive, see also OCaml PR 823.

2017-01-05: otags 4.04.1 released

• Update for OCaml 4.04
• Improved future compatibility: Otags can now be compiled with future OCaml versions as long as they only add constructors in the abstract syntax tree.

2016-09-22: otags 4.03.1 released

• Switch to OCaml standard parser from the compiler-libs library and drop the dependency on camlp4. All options controlling the camlp4 engine (-pa, -extern, ...) are gone.
• Restrict input to what ocamlc accepts: no syntax extensions or toplevel directives. Additionally, files with line directives (from ocamlyacc, ocamllex or cppo) are not supported.
• Fix file descriptor leakage for option -r.

2016-01-10: otags 4.02.1 released
