Hi everyone, We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of TypeRex, a new OCaml development environment, developed by OCamlPro and Inria Saclay. This version of TypeRex only integrates with Emacs and brings a collection of new features that programmers expect from a modern IDE. Next versions will target more editors.
Downloads, screenshots, documentation, support and feedback instructions are available on TypeRex website at: http://www.typerex.org/ Summary of TypeRex features: * Improved syntax coloring * Auto-completion of identifiers (experimental) * Browsing of identifiers: show type and comment, go to definition, cycle between alternate definitions, and semantic grep; * Strictly semantic-preserving, local and whole-program refactoring: o renaming identifiers and compilation units o open elimination and reference simplification * Robust /w.r.t./ not-recompiled, possibly unsaved buffers * Scalable (used regularly on a few hundreds of source files) Auto-completion is disabled by default, since more testing is still needed for this feature. TypeRex is written in OCaml, communicating through a socket with the OCaml mode of the editor (currently Tuareg for Emacs, OCAIDE for Eclipse soon). All the features of the Tuareg mode are also included, even when we provide an equivalent for them. Beta testers, enjoy!
