[ANN] Uuidm 0.9.0

[Daniel Bünzli]

Hello,

I'd like to announce the existence of the following snippet of code.

Uuidm is an OCaml module implementing 128 bits universally unique  
identifiers version 3, 5 (name based with MD5, SHA-1 hashing) and 4  
(random based) according to RFC 4122.

Uuidm is made of a single, independent, module and distributed under  
the new BSD license.

Module home page : http://erratique.ch/software/uuidm

Best,

Daniel

Thanks, Daniel!

I don't think you need Obj.magic for the md5 function - Digest.t is 
equivalent to string in the interface. For instance:

# module M : sig val md5 : string -> string end = struct let md5 = 
Digest.string end;;
module M : sig val md5 : string -> string end
# M.md5 "AsdfasdfasdF";;
- : string = "\248~\198\237v\220\165d\187\214\200\158\\\"=\133"

Cheers,
Dave

Thanks for pointing this out, I was going crazy the other day that  
there was no Digest.to_bytes function... Didn't realize that Digest.t  
wasn't abstract, have to learn to read. Corrected in the repository.
