It’s my pleasure to announce a new release (#18) of `stdcompat`, providing an implementation of OCaml 4.14 standard library which is compatible with all versions of OCaml from 3.07.

In particular, the new modules `In_channel` and `Out_channel`, and the new functions introduced in `Seq` are now available whatever the version of OCaml you use.

Available through `opam`: `opam install stdcompat`
