Dear OCaml users,

The release of OCaml 4.10.0 is approaching. We have created
a first beta version to help you adapt your software to the new features
ahead of the release.

During our preliminary tests for this new beta, we discovered that the 
recent
work towards a multicore-ready OCaml runtime introduced compatibility issues
within some opam packages, that were tweaking the runtime internals.
Most of those opam packages have been fixed, or will be soon.
Nevertheless, if you are affected by such compatibility issue, please 
speak up.

The source code is available at these addresses:

  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/archive/4.10.0+beta1.tar.gz
  https://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-4.10/4.10.0+beta1.tar.gz

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

opam switch create ocaml-variants.4.10.0+beta1 
--repositories=default,beta=git+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repository.git

or

opam switch create ocaml-variants.4.10.0+beta1+<VARIANT> 
--repositories=default,beta=git+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repository.git

  where you replace <VARIANT> with one of these:
    afl
    flambda
    fp
    fp+flambda

We want to know about all bugs. Please report them here:

  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues

Happy hacking,

-- Florian Angeletti, for the OCaml team.

Dear OCaml users,

The release of OCaml 4.10.0 is near. We have release a second beta
version to help you adapt your softwares to the new features ahead of
the release.

This new beta contains an update to the internal runtime API that
should make it easier to maintain compatibility across version
for expert users; and a small fix for recursive values in presence
of local modules.

The source code is available at these addresses:

  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/archive/4.10.0+beta2.tar.gz
  https://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-4.10/ocaml-4.10.0+beta2.tar.gz

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

opam switch create ocaml-variants.4.10.0+beta1 
--repositories=default,beta=git+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repository.git

or

opam switch create ocaml-variants.4.10.0+beta1+<VARIANT> 
--repositories=default,beta=git+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repository.git

  where you replace <VARIANT> with one of these:
    afl
    flambda
    fp
    fp+flambda

For a better experience, you can use the opam alpha repository provided by:

opam repository add alpha 
git://github.com/kit-ty-kate/opam-alpha-repository.git

This repository contains a handful of temporary patched packages, that 
you can use
while waiting for those packages to be properly patched. This repository 
should not be
used in production and you probably want to install it only for the beta 
switch.

We want to know about all bugs. Please report them at:

  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues

Happy hacking,

-- Florian Angeletti, for the OCaml team.

OCaml 4.10.0 changes
------------------------------

### Language features

- #7757, #1726: multi-indices for extended indexing operators:
   `a.%{0;1;2}` desugars to `( .%{ ;.. } ) a [|0;1;2|]`
   (Florian Angeletti, review by Gabriel Radanne)

* #1859, #9117: enforce safe (immutable) strings by removing
   the -unsafe-string option by default. This can be overridden by
   a configure-time option (available since 4.04 in 2016):
   --disable-force-safe-string since 4.08, -no-force-safe-since
   between 4.07 and 4.04.
   In the force-safe-string mode (now the default), the return type of the
   String_val macro in C stubs is `const char*` instead of
   `char*`. This change may break C FFI code.
   (Kate Deplaix)


- #6662, #8908: allow writing "module _ = E" to ignore module expressions
   (Thomas Refis, review by Gabriel Radanne)

### Runtime system:

- #8809: Add a best-fit allocator for the major heap; still experimental,
   it should be much better than current allocation policies (first-fit and
   next-fit) for programs with large heaps, reducing both GC cost and
   memory usage.
   This new best-fit is not (yet) the default; set it explicitly with
   OCAMLRUNPARAM="a=2" (or Gc.set from the program). You may also want
   to increase the `space_overhead` parameter of the GC (a percentage,
   80 by default), for example OCAMLRUNPARAM="o=85", for optimal
   speed.
   (Damien Doligez, review by Stephen Dolan, Jacques-Henri Jourdan,
    Xavier Leroy, Leo White)

* #8713, #8940, #9115, #9143, #9202, #9251:
   Introduce a state table in the runtime to contain the global variables.
   (The Multicore runtime will have one such state for each domain.)

    This changes the status of some internal variables of the OCaml runtime;
    in many cases the header file originally defining the internal variable
    provides a compatibility macro with the old name, but programs
    re-defining those variables by hand need to be fixed.

    (KC Sivaramakrishnan and Stephen Dolan,
     compatibility hacking by David Allsopp, Florian Angeletti, Kate 
Deplaix,
     Jacques Garrigue, Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni and Nicolás Ojeda Bär,
     review by David Allsopp, Alain Frisch, Nicolas Ojeda Bar,
     Gabriel Scherer, Damien Doligez, and Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni)

- #8993: New C functions caml_process_pending_actions{,_exn} in
   caml/signals.h, intended for executing all pending actions inside
   long-running C functions (requested minor and major collections,
   signal handlers, finalisers, and memprof callbacks). The function
   caml_process_pending_actions_exn returns any exception arising
   during their execution, allowing resources to be cleaned-up before
   re-raising.
   (Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni, review by Jacques-Henri Jourdan,
    Stephen Dolan, and Gabriel Scherer)

* #8691, #8897, #9027: Allocation functions are now guaranteed not to
   trigger any OCaml callback when called from C. In long-running C
   functions, this can be replaced with calls to
   caml_process_pending_actions at safe points.
   Side effect of this change: in bytecode mode, polling for
   asynchronous callbacks is performed at every minor heap allocation,
   in addition to function calls and loops as in previous OCaml
   releases.
   (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Stephen Dolan, Gabriel Scherer and
    Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni)

* #9037: caml_check_urgent_gc is now guaranteed not to trigger any
   finaliser. In long-running C functions, this can be replaced
   with calls to caml_process_pending_actions at safe points.
   (Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni, review by Jacques-Henri Jourdan and
    Stephen Dolan)


- #8619: Ensure Gc.minor_words remains accurate after a GC.
   (Stephen Dolan, Xavier Leroy and David Allsopp,
    review by Xavier Leroy and Gabriel Scherer)

- #8667: Limit GC credit to 1.0
   (Leo White, review by Damien Doligez)

- #8670: Fix stack overflow detection with systhreads
   (Stephen Dolan, review by Xavier Leroy, Anil Madhavapeddy, Gabriel 
Scherer,
    Frédéric Bour and Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni)

* #8711: The major GC hooks are no longer allowed to interact with the
    OCaml heap.
    (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Damien Doligez)

- #8630: Use abort() instead of exit(2) in caml_fatal_error, and add
   the new hook caml_fatal_error_hook.
   (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Xavier Leroy)

- #8641: Better call stacks when a C call is involved in byte code mode
   (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Xavier Leroy)

- #8634, #8668, #8684, #9103 (originally #847): Statistical memory 
profiling.
   In OCaml 4.10, support for allocations in the minor heap in native
   mode is not available, and callbacks for promotions and
   deallocations are not available.
   Hence, there is not any public API for this feature yet.
   (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Stephen Dolan, Gabriel Scherer
    and Damien Doligez)

- #9268, #9271: Fix bytecode backtrace generation with large integers 
present.
   (Stephen Dolan and Mark Shinwell, review by Gabriel Scherer and
    Jacques-Henri Jourdan)

### Standard library:

- #8760: List.concat_map : ('a -> 'b list) -> 'a list -> 'b list
   (Gabriel Scherer, review by Daniel Bünzli and Thomas Refis)

- #8832: List.find_map : ('a -> 'b option) -> 'a list -> 'b option
   (Gabriel Scherer, review by Jeremy Yallop, Nicolás Ojeda Bär
    and Daniel Bünzli)

- #7672, #1492: Add `Filename.quote_command` to produce properly-quoted
   commands for execution by Sys.command.
   (Xavier Leroy, review by David Allsopp and Damien Doligez)

- #8971: Add `Filename.null`, the conventional name of the "null" device.
   (Nicolás Ojeda Bär, review by Xavier Leroy and Alain Frisch)

- #8651: add '%#F' modifier in printf to output OCaml float constants
   in hexadecimal
   (Pierre Roux, review by Gabriel Scherer and Xavier Leroy)


- #8657: Optimization in [Array.make] when initializing with unboxed
    or young values.
    (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Gabriel Scherer and Stephen Dolan)

- #8716: Optimize [Array.fill] and [Hashtbl.clear] with a new runtime 
primitive
   (Alain Frisch, review by David Allsopp, Stephen Dolan and Damien Doligez)

- #8530: List.sort: avoid duplicate work by chop
   (Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni, review by David Allsopp, Damien Doligez and
    Gabriel Scherer)

### Other libraries:

- #1939, #2023: Implement Unix.truncate and Unix.ftruncate on Windows.
   (Florent Monnier and Nicolás Ojeda Bär, review by David Allsopp)

### Code generation and optimizations:

- #8806: Add an [@@immediate64] attribute for types that are known to
   be immediate only on 64 bit platforms
   (Jérémie Dimino, review by Vladimir Keleshev)

- #9028, #9032: Fix miscompilation by no longer assuming that
   untag_int (tag_int x) = x in Cmmgen; the compilation of `(n lsl 1) + 1`,
   for example, would be incorrect if evaluated with a large value for `n`.
   (Stephen Dolan, review by Vincent Laviron and Xavier Leroy)

- #8672: Optimise Switch code generation on booleans.
   (Stephen Dolan, review by Pierre Chambart)


- #8990: amd64: Emit 32bit registers for Iconst_int when we can
   (Xavier Clerc, Tom Kelly and Mark Shinwell, review by Xavier Leroy)

- #2322: Add pseudo-instruction `Ladjust_trap_depth` to replace
   dummy Lpushtrap generated in linearize
   (Greta Yorsh and Vincent Laviron, review by Xavier Leroy)

- #8707: Simplif: more regular treatment of Tupled and Curried functions
   (Gabriel Scherer, review by Leo White and Alain Frisch)

   each function in a separate named text section on supported targets.
   (Greta Yorsh, review by Pierre Chambart)

- #2321: Eliminate dead ICatch handlers
   (Greta Yorsh, review by Pierre Chambart and Vincent Laviron)

- #8919: lift mutable lets along with immutable ones
   (Leo White, review by Pierre Chambart)

- #8909: Graph coloring register allocator: the weights put on
   preference edges should not be divided by 2 in branches of
   conditional constructs, because it is not good for performance
   and because it leads to ignoring preference edges with 0 weight.
   (Eric Stavarache, review by Xavier Leroy)

- #9006: int32 code generation improvements
   (Stephen Dolan, designed with Greta Yorsh, review by Xavier Clerc,
    Xavier Leroy and Alain Frisch)

- #9041: amd64: Avoid stall in sqrtsd by clearing destination.
   (Stephen Dolan, with thanks to Andrew Hunter, Will Hasenplaugh,

   without too much updating pain.
   (Florian Angeletti, review by Daniel Bünzli, Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni
    and KC Sivaramakrishnan)

Dear OCaml users,

The release of OCaml version 4.10.0 draws nearer. We have
created a second release candidate that you can test.

This second release candidate integrates a bug fix for 32-bits
users of the new best-fit allocator:

https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/9292

If you are not affected, you can keep on testing the first
release candidate. This second release candidate is here
for people that want to test binaries as close as possible
from the final release binaries.

The source code is available at these addresses:

  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/archive/4.10.0+rc2.tar.gz
  https://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-4.10/ocaml-4.10.0+rc2.tar.gz

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

opam switch create ocaml-variants.4.10.0+rc2 
--repositories=default,beta=git+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repository.git

or

opam switch create ocaml-variants.4.10.0+rc2+<VARIANT> 
--repositories=default,beta=git+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repository.git

  where you replace <VARIANT> with one of these:
    afl
    flambda
    fp
    fp+flambda

We want to know about all bugs. Please report them here:
  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues

— Happy hacking, Florian Angeletti for the OCaml team.

OCaml 4.10.0 changes
--------------------

### Language features

- #7757, #1726: multi-indices for extended indexing operators:
   `a.%{0;1;2}` desugars to `( .%{ ;.. } ) a [|0;1;2|]`
   (Florian Angeletti, review by Gabriel Radanne)

* #1859, #9117: enforce safe (immutable) strings by removing
   the -unsafe-string option by default. This can be overridden by
   a configure-time option (available since 4.04 in 2016):
   --disable-force-safe-string since 4.08, -no-force-safe-since
   between 4.07 and 4.04.
   In the force-safe-string mode (now the default), the return type of the
   String_val macro in C stubs is `const char*` instead of
   `char*`. This change may break C FFI code.
   (Kate Deplaix)


- #6662, #8908: allow writing "module _ = E" to ignore module expressions
   (Thomas Refis, review by Gabriel Radanne)

### Runtime system:

- #8809, #9292: Add a best-fit allocator for the major heap; still
   experimental, it should be much better than current allocation
   policies (first-fit and next-fit) for programs with large heaps,
   reducing both GC cost and memory usage.
   This new best-fit is not (yet) the default; set it explicitly with
   OCAMLRUNPARAM="a=2" (or Gc.set from the program). You may also want
   to increase the `space_overhead` parameter of the GC (a percentage,
   80 by default), for example OCAMLRUNPARAM="o=85", for optimal
   speed.
   (Damien Doligez, review by Stephen Dolan, Jacques-Henri Jourdan,
    Xavier Leroy, Leo White)

* #8713, #8940, #9115, #9143, #9202, #9251:
   Introduce a state table in the runtime to contain the global variables.
   (The Multicore runtime will have one such state for each domain.)

    This changes the status of some internal variables of the OCaml runtime;
    in many cases the header file originally defining the internal variable
    provides a compatibility macro with the old name, but programs
    re-defining those variables by hand need to be fixed.

    (KC Sivaramakrishnan and Stephen Dolan,
     compatibility hacking by David Allsopp, Florian Angeletti, Kate 
Deplaix,
     Jacques Garrigue, Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni and Nicolás Ojeda Bär,
     review by David Allsopp, Alain Frisch, Nicolas Ojeda Bar,
     Gabriel Scherer, Damien Doligez, and Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni)

- #8993: New C functions caml_process_pending_actions{,_exn} in
   caml/signals.h, intended for executing all pending actions inside
   long-running C functions (requested minor and major collections,
   signal handlers, finalisers, and memprof callbacks). The function
   caml_process_pending_actions_exn returns any exception arising
   during their execution, allowing resources to be cleaned-up before
   re-raising.
   (Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni, review by Jacques-Henri Jourdan,
    Stephen Dolan, and Gabriel Scherer)

* #8691, #8897, #9027: Allocation functions are now guaranteed not to
   trigger any OCaml callback when called from C. In long-running C
   functions, this can be replaced with calls to
   caml_process_pending_actions at safe points.
   Side effect of this change: in bytecode mode, polling for
   asynchronous callbacks is performed at every minor heap allocation,
   in addition to function calls and loops as in previous OCaml
   releases.
   (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Stephen Dolan, Gabriel Scherer and
    Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni)

* #9037: caml_check_urgent_gc is now guaranteed not to trigger any
   finaliser. In long-running C functions, this can be replaced
   with calls to caml_process_pending_actions at safe points.
   (Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni, review by Jacques-Henri Jourdan and
    Stephen Dolan)


- #8619: Ensure Gc.minor_words remains accurate after a GC.
   (Stephen Dolan, Xavier Leroy and David Allsopp,
    review by Xavier Leroy and Gabriel Scherer)

- #8667: Limit GC credit to 1.0
   (Leo White, review by Damien Doligez)

- #8670: Fix stack overflow detection with systhreads
   (Stephen Dolan, review by Xavier Leroy, Anil Madhavapeddy, Gabriel 
Scherer,
    Frédéric Bour and Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni)

* #8711: The major GC hooks are no longer allowed to interact with the
    OCaml heap.
    (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Damien Doligez)

- #8630: Use abort() instead of exit(2) in caml_fatal_error, and add
   the new hook caml_fatal_error_hook.
   (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Xavier Leroy)

- #8641: Better call stacks when a C call is involved in byte code mode
   (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Xavier Leroy)

- #8634, #8668, #8684, #9103 (originally #847): Statistical memory 
profiling.
   In OCaml 4.10, support for allocations in the minor heap in native
   mode is not available, and callbacks for promotions and
   deallocations are not available.
   Hence, there is not any public API for this feature yet.
   (Jacques-Henri Jourdan, review by Stephen Dolan, Gabriel Scherer
    and Damien Doligez)

- #9268, #9271: Fix bytecode backtrace generation with large integers 
present.
   (Stephen Dolan and Mark Shinwell, review by Gabriel Scherer and
    Jacques-Henri Jourdan)

   (Gabriel Scherer, review by Jeremy Yallop, Nicolás Ojeda Bär
    and Daniel Bünzli)

- #7672, #1492: Add `Filename.quote_command` to produce properly-quoted
   commands for execution by Sys.command.
   (Xavier Leroy, review by David Allsopp and Damien Doligez)

- #8971: Add `Filename.null`, the conventional name of the "null" device.
   (Nicolás Ojeda Bär, review by Xavier Leroy and Alain Frisch)

- #8651: add '%#F' modifier in printf to output OCaml float constants
   in hexadecimal

- #8919: lift mutable lets along with immutable ones
   (Leo White, review by Pierre Chambart)
