I am thus happy to announce the first alpha release for OCaml 4.14.0 . This alpha version is here to help fellow hackers join us early in our bug hunting and opam ecosystem fixing fun (see below for the installation instructions). You can see the progress on this front at https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/issues/20501 . If you find any bugs, please report them here: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues Most major OCaml developer tools are already supported with this alpha (from odoc to merlin), thus I expect us to switch to beta releases in the beginning of February. The full release is expected to happen in late February. This early release will give us time to focus on the release of OCaml 5.0. If you are interested by the ongoing list of new features and bug fixes, the updated change log for OCaml 4.14.0 is available at: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/4.14/Changes Happy hacking, Florian Angeletti for the OCaml team.

The base compiler can be installed as an opam switch with th= e following commands

opam update
opam switch create 4.14.0~alpha1= --repositories=3Ddefault,beta=3Dgit+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-re= pository.git

With opam 2.1, the previous command line can be simplif= ied to

opam update
opam switch create 4.14.0~alpha1

If you= want to tweak the configuration of the compiler, you can switch to the opt= ion variant with:

opam update
opam switch create <switch_name&= gt; --packages=3Docaml-variants.4.14.0~alpha1+options,<option_list> -= -repositories=3Ddefault,beta=3Dgit+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repo= sitory.git

or with opam 2.1:

opam update
opam switch creat= e <switch_name> ocaml-variants.4.14.0~alpha1+options <option_list&= gt;


where <option_list> is a comma separated list of ocaml= -option-* packages. For instance, for a flambda and no-flat-float-array swi= tch:

opam switch create 4.14.0~alpha1+flambda+nffa ocaml-variants.4.= 14.0~alpha1+options ocaml-option-flambda ocaml-option-no-flat-float-array
All available options can be listed with "opam search ocaml-option".<= br>
