  + merlin binary
    - A new `WRAPPING_PREFIX` configuration directive that can be used to tell Merlin
      what to append to the current unit name in the presence of wrapping (ocaml#1788)
    - Add `-unboxed-types` and `-no-unboxed-types` as ocaml ignored flags (ocaml#1795, fixes ocaml#1794)
    - destruct: Refinement in the presence of optional arguments (ocaml#1800 ocaml#1807, fixes ocaml#1770)
    - Implement new expand-node command for expanding PPX annotations (ocaml#1745)
    - Implement new inlay-hints command for adding hints on a sourcetree (ocaml#1812)
    - Implement new search-by-type command for searching values by types (ocaml#1828)
    - Canonicalize paths in occurrences. This helps deduplicate the results and
      show more user-friendly paths. (ocaml#1840)
    - Fix dot-merlin-reader ignoring `SOURCE_ROOT` and `STDLIB` directives
      (ocaml#1839, ocaml#1803)
  + editor modes

    - vim: Dead code / doc removal for previously deleted MerlinPhrase command (ocaml#1804)
    - emacs: Improve the way that result of polarity search is displayed (ocaml#1814)
    - emacs: Add `merlin-search-by-type`, `merlin-search-by-polarity` and change the
	  behaviour of `merlin-search` to switch between `by-type` or `by-polarity`
	  depending on the query (ocaml#1828)
