[Caml-list] OCaml 4.00.1 released

[Damien Doligez]

Dear OCaml users,

We have the pleasure of celebrating the birthdays of Denis Diderot
by announcing the release ofOCaml version 4.00.1.
This is mainly a bug-fix release, see the list of changes below.

It is available here: < http://caml.inria.fr/download.en.html >

This is released as source for the time being, but the binary
versions should be available soon.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank all the packagers
out there who make this easy to install for end users without
recompiling.

Happy hacking,

-- Damien Doligez for the OCaml team.

Thank you for the new release!  For anyone looking to build the new
release from source, ocamlbrew has been updated to install OCaml
4.00.1 by default:

https://github.com/hcarty/ocamlbrew

To give it a try with the default components (OCaml, findlib, odb.ml,
oasis, utop, ocamlscript) run the following in a terminal:

curl -kL https://raw.github.com/hcarty/ocamlbrew/master/ocamlbrew-install | bash

That will build and install everything under $HOME/ocamlbrew.  See
README.md and RECIPES.md at the link above for build requirements and
other configuration examples.

Dear OCaml users on Windows,

The self-installer has been updated, it is available at 
<http://protz.github.com/ocaml-installer/>. As usual, if you want to 
help improve the installer script for Windows, I'll gladly accept any 
patches.

Happy (?) Windows hacking,

jonathan
