[Caml-list] [ANN] PG'OCaml 2.0

[Dario Teixeira <darioteixeira@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I'm happy to announce version 2.0 of PG'OCaml, a library offering type-safe
access to PostgreSQL databases for OCaml applications.

This version no longer depends on Batteries, which hopefully will entice more
Core users to give it a spin.  Below is the list of the remaining changes,
straight from the changelog:

  * Dario Teixeira and Jacques-Pascal Deplaix: fixing issues with arrays.
    This requires all array types to change from 'a array to 'a option array,
    which breaks backward compatibility.
  * Dario Teixeira's patch making PostgreSQL's NUMERIC type be converted
    to/from OCaml strings.  This change is not backward's compatible,
    requiring a bump in the major version number (though there seems
    to be no actual code in the wild relying on the previous behaviour).
  * Dario Teixeira's patch adding function 'uuid', which exposes the
    unique connection handle identifier.
  * Jacques-Pascal Deplaix's patches adding 'catch', 'transact', 'alive',
    'inject', and 'alter' functions.

Note that a couple of changes break backward compatibility, hence the new
major version number.  These changes were required to fix some long-standing
issues, so I trust you'll be understanding.

This new release should be hitting OPAM soon.  Alternatively,
you can grab the source from the project's homepage:
