Ocamlformat 0.26.1

We are pleased to announce the release of OCamlFormat 0.26.1!

This is the first OCamlFormat release to be compatible with OCaml 5.1.

We highlight notable formatting improvements below:

  1. Removal of extra breaks in constructor declarations
 type t =                               
   | Foo
   | (* Redirect (None, lib) looks up lib in the same database *)
-    Redirect of
-      db option * (Loc.t * Lib_name.t)
+    Redirect of db option * (Loc.t * Lib_name.t)
+
  1. Consistent formatting for arrow class types, and consistent indentation of the object keyword
module type S = sig                    
-  class tttttttttttt : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa:int -> bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb:float ->
+  class tttttttttttt :
+    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa:int ->
+    bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb:float ->
    cccccccccccccccccccc
end

class type ct =
  let open M in
-  object
+object
  val x : t
end

We've also fixed a few bugs. Attributes that were previously skipped are not preserved, and we fixed a crash that occured in the presence of nested modules.

Have a look at the full changelog to see the list of improvements, and don’t hesitate to share your feedback on this release on OCaml Discuss.
