[Caml-list] Core{,extended} 7.0 and support libraries now out of beta.

[Till Varoquaux]

We are proud to announce the release of core 7.0. This is the first non 
beta release that compiles on ocaml 3.12 and also the first to be 
packaged with oasis. The code has been battle tested a bit more and 
should be more stable/better than the 7.0~beta1 release. Unlike the 
beta, this release also compiles on OSx.

all the packages are available on:
http://www.janestreet.com/ocaml

One notable change is that the signature of some of the functions in 
type-conv has been changed a little (they don't take a location argument 
anymore when they can infer from another one of their arguments). This 
is more consistent with the camlp4 library and will often encourage 
syntax extension writers to have more precise error positions in their 
generated code whilst writing more readable code. The existing 
extensions that use type-conv might need to be ported; this should be a 
very easy task. If you have any questions please reply to this mail or 
write to opensource@janestreet.com

P.S.: Here's a small script that was used internally to get/compile all 
the packages.
