Hello, Here is the latest OCaml Weekly News, for the week of January 19 to 26, 2016.
1) In the news: Unikernel Systems joins Docker 2) Package renamings for sexplib, bin_prot and a few other camlp4 syntax extensions 3) Other OCaml News ======================================================================== 1) In the news: Unikernel Systems joins Docker Archive: <https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2016-01/msg00075.html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Thomas Braibant announced: Congratulation to the Mirage team! <http://unikernel.com/> <http://blog.docker.com/2016/01/unikernel/> I believe this is good news for the OCaml community in general. ** Anil Madhavapeddy then said: Thanks Thomas! We're all very excited about driving MirageOS forward now to the wider community. If anyone wants to take part in a friendly (and warm) atmosphere, the first hackathon is being held in Marrakech in the second week of March: <http://marrakech2016.mirage.io/> Please do feel free to get in touch at <marrakech2...@mirage.io> with any questions, but all levels of OCaml hackers interested in unikernels are welcome. ======================================================================== 2) Package renamings for sexplib, bin_prot and a few other camlp4 syntax extensions Archive: <https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2016-01/msg00083.html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Jeremie Dimino announced: In preparation for the 113.24 release of Jane Street packages, which are camlp4-free, we moved some Camlp4 syntax extensions into their own packages [1]. As a result some findlib packages have been renamed. For instance the old sexplib.syntax is now called pa_sexp_conv. Details and upgrading instructions can be found in the opam repository changelog [2]. Since the upcoming 113.24 release of sexplib, bin_prot and a few other packages breaks compatibility due to these renamings, version constraints were automatically added to the appropriate opam packages. This is the list of affected packages: - async-zmq - bookaml - camlhighlight - charrua-core - cohttp - colors_js - conduit - cstruct - extprot - ezjsonm - frenetic - git-unix - ibx - ipaddr - irmin - lambdoc - lazy-trie - merge-queues - merge-ropes - mirage - mirage-git - mirage-http - mirage-tc - mirage-types - mirage-types-lwt - mustache - nocrypto - obeanstalk - ocaml-markdown - oloop - openflow - operf-macro - opium - otr - packet - perf - planck - protocol-9p - qcow-format - shared-block-ring - sibylfs - sill - tls - tlstunnel - topology - uri - vchan - x509 - xapi-backtrace - xapi-stdext - xapi-xenopsd - xentropyd If you maintain any of these packages, you are kindly invited to follow the upgrading instructions [2]. Moving forward, we encourage people using any of our Camlp4 syntax extensions to switch to their ppx replacements.
