This will become release 3.09.2 on April 12 (approximately), unless there is some serious problem with it. In the meantime, we are asking for some beta-testing: if you are an adventurous mind with some free time, check it out from the CVS (tag: ocaml3092rc1) and compile your favourite programs with it, and report any problems you might find. Note that we are deliberately _not_ making it available as a tar archive or binary package. This is the list of changes from 3.09.1. We would especially like some feedback (positive or negative) about the items marked with "+". If you find some problem, please post it to the bug tracker: < http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/main_page.php >. If everything goes well, send a mail to the release manager: .
