Plans for OCaml 5.2/5.3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Just a heads up for OCaml.

We currently have OCaml 5.2.0 in Fedora 41 & Rawhide.

OCaml 5.3.0 is expected to be released at the "end of November or
beginning of December"[1], so it would make sense to move straight to
this version in Rawhide after that happens.

  Release notes for 5.3.0:
  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/5.3/Changes

OCaml 5.2.1 is "a collection of safe but import[ant] runtime time bug
fixes backported from the 5.3 branch of OCaml"[2].  It was released a
couple of days ago.  If I have the energy I'll update Fedora 41 to
this version, but only after 5.3.0 is released first (as otherwise
I'll need to do Rawhide twice to avoid the version in Rawhide being
lower).

Note that updating an OCaml version involves recompiling all the
related packages, about 200 of them.

Also there's a new version of LWT, so it makes sense to update that at
the same time:
