Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce the first beta release of opam 2.5.0.

This version is a beta, we invite users to test it to spot previously unnoticed bugs as we head towards the stable release.

Changes

  • :red_apple: Allow the macOS sandbox to write in the /var/folders/ and /var/db/mds/ directories as it is required by some of macOS core tools (#4389, #6460)

  • Stop opam switch create --dry-run from creating any directory. Thanks to @hannes for this contribution. (#5918)

  • :ocean: A couple more changes were made and minor regressions 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 unchanged:

For Unix systems

bash -c "sh <(curl -fsSL https://opam.ocaml.org/install.sh) --version 2.5.0~beta1"

or from PowerShell for Windows systems

Invoke-Expression "& { $(Invoke-RestMethod https://opam.ocaml.org/install.ps1) } -Version 2.5.0~beta1"

Please report any issues to the bug-tracker.

Happy hacking,
