Subject: [Caml-list] OCaml 4.02.1 is coming soon

Dear OCaml users,
The rather large amount of changes in the newly released 4.02 inevitably caused some issues in the very first minor release. We shall have a 4.02.1 bugfix release coming soon, hopefully in early October.
Among the few issues that have now been fixed, there are a few regressions in the new, type-safe format implementation (Printf/Scanf/Format) -- for advanced formatting features.
There was also a regression in the *compilation time* of the distributed OCaml compiler, which is sensibly slower than 4.01 on multi-module programs. This is already fixed in the development version of the compiler and will be part of the bugfix release.
Any additional testing to find and report other regressions is more than welcome. If you have not yet tested your programs with 4.02, now is the time to give it a try!
