package textutils

Release v0.17.0

• Deprecate ``utf8_textin favor of the utf8 handling incore`. See Core.String.Utf8.

Release v0.16.0

• Can now limit the max width of a column in ascii_table

• Ascii_table cells can now have different attributes per line

Old pre-v0.15 changelogs (very likely stale and incomplete)

v0.10

• Added library Textutils_kernel, created by splitting out the platform-independent code from the Textutils library.

113.24.00

• Switched to PPX.

• Fixed a bug where the computation of cell heights could cause division by zero in some cases.

• Expose the constructors of Ascii_table.Align.t so that we can write

  Column.create ~align:Left ...

  instead of

  Column.create ~align:Align.left

112.17.00

• Added a ~narrow argument to Text_graph.render

112.01.00

• Added Ascii_table.Table_char, to expose the special table border characters.

111.28.00

• Moved Text_block from Core_extended into Textutils.

111.03.00

• Changed Textutils.Console to not reference Async.Log, so that building inline benchmark runners no longer requires building Async.

  The change makes Textutils, and by extension Core_extended and Core_bench, not depend on Async.

109.53.00

• Bump version number

109.52.00

• Added Console.Log module for writing colorized Async.Log messages.

109.36.00

• In Ascii_table module, added support for displaying table using ASCII characters instead of Unicode.

  This is motivated by the need to use Core_bench in contexts where the extended ASCII character set is not suitable for displaying tables.

  The default style is the following:

  ┌─────────────────┬───────────┬──────────┐
  │ Name            │ Time (ns) │ % of max │
  ├─────────────────┼───────────┼──────────┤
  │ quick_stat      │     93.11 │   100.00 │
  │ counters        │     33.24 │    35.70 │
  │ allocated_bytes │     37.03 │    39.77 │
  └─────────────────┴───────────┴──────────┘
  

  The new style is as follows:

  $ ./test_bench.exe gc -q 0.5 -ascii
  Estimated testing time 1.5s (change using -quota SECS).
  
    Name              Time (ns)   % of max
  ----------------- ----------- ----------
    quick_stat            93.17     100.00
    counters              34.56      37.09
    allocated_bytes       37.06      39.78
  

109.35.00

• Added new module Textutils.Text_graph for plotting text graphs on a terminal.

  Here is an example density plot for minor_words from mcquote-stats.data.
