Warning! The packages available in OPAM are beta-version of the version 2 of typerex. These versions rely of the cmt files generated by the 4.00 OCaml compiler, with the -bin-annot option. Thus, most of the instructions given on this website are outdated. We are planning to improve the documentation.



Version 1.0

The version 1 of TypeRex is available here.

The first release of TypeRex brings to the OCaml world editor features which are available in other mainstream programming languages. This first version only targets Emacs on Unix (Linux and MacOSX), but more editors will be supported soon. If you are interested by porting TypeRex to other platforms, you can find more informations on the Support page.

  • OCaml ≥3.11.2
  • Emacs (Tested with 23.2.1, does not work under X-Emacs, reported to work with Aquamacs but with performance issues)
