Caml Light 0.74:
---------------
* Typing: when typing a sequence (e1;e2), warn if e1 does not have
type "unit".
* Standard library:
- module string: added index_char, rindex_char, index_char_from,
rindex_char_from.
- module vect: added init_vect.
- module format: added a printf facility to control the pretty-printer.
- module float: more floating-point functions (all ANSI-C functions).
- The iterators do_list, do_vect et al have more restricted types, e.g.
('a -> unit) -> 'a list -> unit instead of ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> unit.
- module sys: new function sys__time to measure elapsed time.
* MS Windows port: fixed bugs in functions over graphics__image.
* libnum: square root rewritten. Many bug fixes to support 64 bits
architectures. Lot of functions rewritten or added. More tests
added.
Module nat: now performs sanity checks.
New module fnat: the same functionality as module nat, without
sanity checks.
The toplevel "camlnum" now comes with printers installed for the
num types.
Assembly code for pentium processors is now supported (on average
this implementation is approximately 3 times faster than the pure C
implementation) (set the variable BIGNUM_ARCH to pentium in the
Makefile of the contrib directory).
* camllex: fixed bug causing undetected type errors in lexer definitions.
