Alice v0.2.0

December 01, 2025 in release

Announcing the release of Alice v0.2.0!

This release adds support for LSP by generating .cmt files in the build directory and a .merlin file at the project’s root, as well as adding an additional development tool dot-merlin-reader which is necessary for using ocamllsp in non-Dune projects. There’s a new LSP page on this site with instructions for setting up your environment and editor to use LSP in Alice projects.
