Mmm, this is the second notice of the next release of ocaml i am having today, which makes me ask myself if there is already a approximative date planed for it ? As debian/woody is in the process of freezing, it would be nice to have the latest version of ocaml in the next release, so that we don't have the current situation, where debian/potato, now almost 1 and a half year after it's freeze, has only ocaml 2.04.

The current plan is to make a *beta* release late sept-early october. Jacques' changes on labels, and my dynamic loading stuff are sufficiently large changes that we'd like to get some public feedback about them before making an "official" release. The date of the next official release is hard to tell at this point, because it'll depend a lot on the reactions we get to this beta release. - Xavier Leroy ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by pauillac.inria.fr (8.7.6/8.7.3) id QAA10739; Thu, 6 Sep 2001 16:33:30 +0200 (MET DST) X-Authentication-Warning: pauillac.inria.fr: majordomo set sender to owner-caml-list@pauillac.inria.fr using -f Received: from concorde.inria.fr (concorde.inria.fr [192.93.2.39]) by pauillac.inria.fr (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA10888 for ; Thu, 6 Sep 2001 16:33:29 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from chopin.ai.univie.ac.at (chopin.ai.univie.ac.at [131.130.174.170]) by concorde.inria.fr (8.11.1/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f86EXSr02670; Thu, 6 Sep 2001 16:33:28 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from markus@localhost) by chopin.ai.univie.ac.at (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) id QAA26919; Thu, 6 Sep 2001 16:33:27 +0200 Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 16:33:27 +0200 From: Markus Mottl To: Xavier Leroy Cc: OCAML Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Changes in CVS Message-ID: <20010906163327.E24260@chopin.ai.univie.ac.at> References: <20010906175310C.garrigue@kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp> <20010906134747.A28692@dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr> <20010906142946.A6373@pauillac.inria.fr> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: <20010906142946.A6373@pauillac.inria.fr>; from Xavier.Leroy@inria.fr on Thu, Sep 06, 2001 at 14:29:46 +0200 Sender: owner-caml-list@pauillac.inria.fr Precedence: bulk On Thu, 06 Sep 2001, Xavier Leroy wrote: > The current plan is to make a *beta* release late sept-early october. > Jacques' changes on labels, and my dynamic loading stuff are > sufficiently large changes that we'd like to get some public feedback > about them before making an "official" release.

My wish may not fit well into the current workflow of the OCaml-team, but anyway, I feel it would save you some work overall: Would it be possible to get access to a snapshot version of the documentation, too? To be useful, this would require that you update it incrementally in accordance with the compiler sources. I don't mind working with CVS-snapshots (sometimes I have to), but I'd need more information (= documentation) when trying out new features, e.g. about the way that dynamic loading is supposed to work, etc. This might help you in getting faster feedback on the state of your sources and could significantly cut down the beta-testing time. Some publically available regression test suite would also be fine if you want to have people try snapshots on their platforms. Delegating part of the testing process to the community is likely to save you time and would thus benefit the community, too.

I am not sure what you mean. Switching to label mode by default is ok for me. But removing labels in the standard library means breaking all programs that use them, if I do not miss somethig. Whereas leaving them means breaking only the makefiles of programs using the old syntax. I think adding a "-no-labels" in the "OCFLAGS=" line is much less work than fixing the code, especially if it uses the commuting arguments fetaure. ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by pauillac.inria.fr (8.7.6/8.7.3) id AAA07476; Sat, 8 Sep 2001 00:00:49 +0200 (MET DST) X-Authentication-Warning: pauillac.inria.fr: majordomo set sender to owner-caml-list@pauillac.inria.fr using -f Received: from concorde.inria.fr (concorde.inria.fr [192.93.2.39]) by pauillac.inria.fr (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA07716 for ; Sat, 8 Sep 2001 00:00:48 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from favie.faith.gr.jp ([61.127.175.250]) by concorde.inria.fr (8.11.1/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f87M0kP23096 for ; Sat, 8 Sep 2001 00:00:47 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from localhost (dhcp7.faith.gr.jp [192.168.1.17]) by favie.faith.gr.jp (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA19611; Sat, 8 Sep 2001 07:00:39 +0900 To: nicolas.george@ens.fr Cc: caml-list@inria.fr Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Changes in CVS In-Reply-To: <20010906151830.A1400@aimlin> References: <20010906175310C.garrigue@kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp> <20010906151830.A1400@aimlin> X-Mailer: Mew version 1.94.2 on Emacs 20.7 / Mule 4.0 (HANANOEN) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message-Id: <20010908070157Q.garrigue@kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp> Date: Sat, 08 Sep 2001 07:01:57 +0900 From: Jacques Garrigue X-Dispatcher: imput version 20000228(IM140) Sender: owner-caml-list@pauillac.inria.fr Precedence: bulk From: Nicolas George > Le jeudi 06 septembre 2001 =E0 17:53, Jacques Garrigue a =E9crit=A0: > > remove labels in the standard library, > > and switch to (slightly laxist) label mode by default. > = > I am not sure what you mean.

Sure, this is incompatible for current label mode users. A small degree of compatibility is provided by a StdLabels module. (Only including labels for Array, List and String) The conversion is relatively easy, particularly if you do not use commutation of labels too much. Even for heavy users, this should not be more than about a minute by kloc. The whole point of this change is to have a unique mode satisfying everybody, the -nolabels mode being deprecated for normal use. This comes at a cost, but gives a better integrated language. If you remember the discussion on this list this spring, the option you propose here wouldn't satisfy many users.

I'm probably the worst offender among the OCaml development team, updating the documentation only a few days before a release :-) So, I agree the CVS public repository is of little use when the system undergoes large changes; that's why we try to do a beta release (such as 2.99) in this case.

I'm probably the worst offender among the OCaml development > team, updating the documentation only a few days before a release :-) I had feared that your working style does not differ so much from the one most people (including me ;) prefer ... who likes writing documentation anyway? It is already a start and does not cost too much time if any major changes are reflected in the Changelog as soon as they are made so that people at least know what they can expect. When people experiment with changes, they can always ask here for advice. Luckily, it seems that the Changelog has been updated more often and accurately during recent development.
