Subject: Re: [Caml-list] OCaml version 4.04.0 is released.

Another less good news: 4.04.0 has a regression in Unix.create_process
on some Windows machines, when using 64bits builds of OCaml.
https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/912
https://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=7422
For 64bits Windows users, it is probably best to wait for a bugfix
release before upgrading to OCaml 4.04.
