OPAM 1.1.1 released
On , by
We are proud to announce that OPAM 1.1.1 has just been released.
This minor release features mostly stability and UI/doc improvements over
OPAM 1.1.0, but also focuses on improving the API and tools to be a better
base for the platform (functions for opam-doc
, interface with tools like
opamfu
and opam-installer
). Lots of bigger changes are in the works, and
will be merged progressively after this release.
Installing
Installation instructions are available on the wiki.
Note that some packages may take a few days until they get out of the pipeline. If you're eager to get 1.1.1, either use our binary installer or compile from source.
The 'official' package repository is now hosted at opam.ocaml.org, synchronised with the Git repository at http://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository, where you can contribute new packages descriptions. Those are under a CC0 license, a.k.a. public domain, to ensure they will always belong to the community.
Thanks to all of you who have helped build this repository and made OPAM such a success.
