Hi everyone,

We’re happy to announce the first beta release of opam 2.3.0.

As we’re closing on the final release of opam 2.3.0, we’d be happy for people to test this beta and report any regression.

What’s new?

This release consists mostly in regression fixes compared to 2.3.0~alpha1:

  • Fix a regression where pinning a local source repository containing initialized git submodules would cause a failure when fetching the package. (#5809)

  • Fix a regression which would make opam crash on platforms such as OpenBSD. (#6215)

  • Fix the internal cache of installed packages, which was storing the wrong version of the opam file after a build failure. (#6213)

  • Fix a regression in lint W59 with local urls that are not archives. (#6218)

A couple of other improvements were made and bugs were fixed.
:open_book: You can read our blog post for more information about these changes and more, and for even more details you can take a look at the release note or the changelog.

Try it!

The upgrade instructions are pretty much the same:

For Unix systems

bash -c "sh <(curl -fsSL https://opam.ocaml.org/install.sh) --version 2.3.0~beta1"

or from PowerShell for Windows systems

Invoke-Expression "& { $(Invoke-RestMethod https://opam.ocaml.org/install.ps1) } -Version 2.3.0~beta1"

Please report any issues to the bug-tracker.

Happy hacking,
