    fixes #1667)

• editor modes
  • emacs: fix/improve keybindings (#1668, fixes #1386):
    Unbind C-c C-r (to avoid shadowing tuareg-eval-region)
    and bind C-c C-v instead to merlin-error-check;
    rebind C-c C-d to merlin-document
    and bind C-c M-d and C-c | instead to merlin-destruct;
    bind C-u C-c C-t to merlin-type-expr.

• merlin binary
  • Constrain socket path buffer size to avoid build warnings (#1631)
  • Handle concurrent server start (#1622)
  • Omit module prefixes for constructors and record fields in the
    construct command (#1618). Prefixes are still produced when
    warning 42 (disambiguated name) is active.
  • Correctly invalidate PPX cache when pipeline ran partially (#1650,
    fixes #1647)
  • Prevent short-path from looping in some cases related to recursive type
    definitions (#1645)
  • Support parsing negative numbers in sexps (#1655)
  • Fix construct not working with inline records (#1658)
  • Improve behavior of type-enclosing on let/and operators (#1653)
  • Fix occurrences of extension constructors (#1662)
  • Improve node selection when ghosts are present (#1664, fixes #1660)
• editor modes
  • emacs: call merlin-client-logger with "interrupted" if the
    merlin binary itself is interrupted, not just the parsing of the
    result (#1626).
  • emacs: merlin-construct, with a prefix argument, now includes
    local values in the completion options. Alternatively, this
    behavior can be enabled permanently by customizing
    merlin-construct-with-local-values (#1644)
  • emacs: add support for opam-switch-mode (#1654, fixes #1591).
