[Caml-list] [ANN] OPAM 1.2.0

[Louis Gesbert]

We're very proud to announce the final release of OPAM 1.2.0

This is a big step after 1.1, with lots of new features and a huge effort put into improving the ease of use, output and error handling. Read the full announcement at

    http://opam.ocaml.org/blog/opam-1-2-0-release

Or head straight to the install instructions at

    http://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Install.html

(but know that your existing 1.1 ~/.opam will be updated on first run)


With big thanks to all the beta-testers who took the time to report issues.


Louis Gesbert, OCamlPro, on behalf of the OPAM team.

On https://github.com/ocaml/opam/tags, I see that rc4 and the final
release are made from the same commit. Is that correct? IOW, for those
whose use rc4, do they have to upgrade to the final release? The 
release
is also not mentioned on https://github.com/ocaml/opam/releases. So
maybe I picked up the wrong tarball.

Indeed, 1.2.0-rc4 has been promoted to 1.2.0 ; the sources are identical, and no upgrade is required if you were already on RC4.

Release is shown on https://github.com/ocaml/opam/releases, but latest, latest-test, rc4 and 1.2.0 being on the same commit, github orders them in its own way (and displays the date of the commit as date of the release, which is kind of wrong).

Sorry for the confusion. And thanks a lot for the packaging efforts !

Ok. Thanks for the confirmation. Then, I'm happy to announce that
(for once :-P) Debian has Opam's latest release in Sid, will migrate
in a few days to testing... and will be part of the forthcoming
Jessie release.

Thanks for the release and for your efforts in maintaining this
software!
