Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2020 21:55:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aa6478ed-8522-11fa-10b2-3f3018b504a5@inria.fr> (raw)
Dear OCaml users,
Along with OCaml 4.11.0, a bugfix release of OCaml version 4.10.1 is
imminent.
This new version is collection of safe configuration, build system
and runtime fixes cherry-picked from the 4.11 development cycle.
It should be completely safe to upgrade to this version from OCaml 4.10.0.
The source code is available at these addresses:
https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/archive/4.10.1+rc1.tar.gz
https://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-4.10/ocaml-4.10.1+rc1.tar.gz
The compiler can also be installed as an OPAM switch with the following
commands:
$ opam update
$ opam switch create ocaml-variants.4.10.1+rc1
--repositories=default,beta=git://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repository.git
We want to know about any bugs. Please report them here:
https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues
Happy hacking,
Florian Angeletti for the OCaml team.
