OCaml Weekly News

Due to a global Discourse change that disabled the mailing list mode, I was no able to collect the bodies of the news from the OCaml Discourse for several days. This has now been fixed and next week’s OCaml Weekly News should be as usual. In the meantime, here are links to the main announcements. Do not hesitate to contact me if you want to give feedback about this newsletter.

An updated OPAM package will follow soon.

Sorry to the OCaml hacker using Compiler Explorer for the late update (it took some time to deploy the infrastructure, etc.), but it now supports OCaml 4.12.0, but also 4.10.2 and 4.11.2!
