Hello,

I've just made a release candidate for the next version of Unison, which
should be 2.51.3.

Changes since 2.51.2:
  * Some nontrivial changes to profile parsing (G.raud Meyer)
       + ’=’ has been considered whitespace until now: several
         following chars are considered as only one; trailing chars are
         discarded; any non emty sequence of char is splitting. This is
         non standard and leads to confusion, for example -ignore==
         ’Name .*=*’ is valid when -ignore=’Name .*=*’ is not, and
         worse -ignore=’Name *=’ is the same as -ignore=’Name *’. The
         parser now takes just a single ’=’ as delimiter after the
         option name. Other = characters are considered as part of the
         value being assigned to the option.
  * Numerous improvements to the text user-interface (G.raud Meyer)
       + New key-commands that restrict the display to a set of
         "matching" items: ones that are offering to propagate changes
         in a particular direction, conflicts, files to be merged,
         etc., plus several more useful key-commands. Type "?" to
         Unison to see all available commands.

This version should be compatible with the previous one, 2.51.2, and
compile with modern versions of OCaml. Both ends should be compiled with
the same version of OCaml, though.

Please test and report any issues!


Enjoy,
