The release of OCaml version 4.08.1 is imminent.=20
This new bugfix release fixes some compilation failures in presence of "-pa=
ck",=20
and some native-code alignment issues on ARM64, PPC64 and amd64.=20
We have created a release candidate that you can test.=20

The source code is available at these addresses:=20

The compiler can also be installed as an OPAM switch with one of the=20
following commands:=20

opam switch create ocaml-variants.4.08.1+rc1 --repositories=3Ddefault,ocaml=
-beta=3Dgit+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repository.git=20

or=20

opam switch create ocaml-variants.4.08.1+rc1+<VARIANT> --repositories=3Ddef=
ault,ocaml-beta=3Dgit+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repository.git=20

where you replace <VARIANT> with one of these:=20
afl=20
default-unsafe-string=20
