[Caml-list] [ANN] Merlin 3.0.1 with OCaml 4.05 support

[Frédéric Bour]

Merlin is an editor-independent tool to ease the developement of 
programs in OCaml. It aims at providing features available in modern 
IDEs such as: "as you type" error reporting, auto completion, source 
browsing ("jump to definition"), extraction of type, ...

Merlin is available on opam and can be installed with `opam install 
merlin`. It can also be built from sources, available at 
https://github.com/ocaml/merlin .

# What's new

As always you can find a full changelog at 
https://github.com/ocaml/merlin/blob/master/CHANGELOG , but the 
highlights are:

- Support for OCaml 4.05.

- A new protocol for editors. It is implemented by the Vim and Emacs 
modes that are distributed with Merlin. The old protocol is still 
supported for existing editors.
