= CHANGES BETWEEN COQ V8.5 AND COQ V8.6 =
=========================================
+** Logging and Pretty Printing: **
+
+* Printing functions have been removed from `Pp.mli`, which is now a
+ purely pretty-printing interface. Functions affected are:
+
+```` ocaml
+val pp : std_ppcmds -> unit
+val ppnl : std_ppcmds -> unit
+val pperr : std_ppcmds -> unit
+val pperrnl : std_ppcmds -> unit
+val pperr_flush : unit -> unit
+val pp_flush : unit -> unit
+val flush_all : unit -> unit
+val msg : std_ppcmds -> unit
+val msgnl : std_ppcmds -> unit
+val msgerr : std_ppcmds -> unit
+val msgerrnl : std_ppcmds -> unit
+val message : string -> unit
+````
+
+ which are no more available. Users of `Pp.pp msg` should now use the
+ proper `Feedback.msg_*` function. Clients also have no control over
+ flushing, the back end takes care of it.
+
+* Feedback related functions and definitions have been moved to the
+ `Feedback` module. `message_level` has been renamed to
+ level. Functions moved from Pp to Feedback are:
+
+```` ocaml
+val set_logger : logger -> unit
+val std_logger : logger
+val emacs_logger : logger
+val feedback_logger : logger
+````
+
+* We now provide several loggers, `log_via_feedback` is removed in
+ favor of `set_logger feedback_logger`. Output functions are:
+
+```` ocaml
+val with_output_to_file : string -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b
+val msg_info : Pp.std_ppcmds -> unit
+val msg_notice : Pp.std_ppcmds -> unit
+val msg_warning : Pp.std_ppcmds -> unit
+val msg_error : Pp.std_ppcmds -> unit
+val msg_debug : Pp.std_ppcmds -> unit
+````
+
+ with the `msg_*` functions being just an alias for `logger $Level`.
+
+* The main feedback functions are:
+
+```` ocaml
+val set_feeder : (feedback -> unit) -> unit
+val feedback : ?id:edit_or_state_id -> ?route:route_id -> feedback_content -> unit
+val set_id_for_feedback : ?route:route_id -> edit_or_state_id -> unit
+````
+ Note that `feedback` doesn't take two parameters anymore. After
+ refactoring the following function has been removed:
+
+```` ocaml
+val get_id_for_feedback : unit -> edit_or_state_id * route_id
+````
+
- The interface of the Context module was changed.
Related types and functions were put in separate submodules.
The mapping from old identifiers to new identifiers is the following:
