The Dune team is happy to announce the release of dune 3.19.0 :smile:

This release contains some important bug fixes along with some improvements for the foreign_library stanza. It introduces support for concurrent builds through the RPC server.

If you encounter a problem with this release, you can report it on the ocaml/dune repository.

Changelog

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug that was causing cram tests attached to multiple aliases to be run multiple
    times. (#11547, @Alizter)

    foreign_library (#11707, @Alizter, @rgrinberg)
