[ANN] Uuidm 0.9.9

Community

Hello,

There’s a new release of Uuidm, a library to handle universally unique identifiers (UUIDs).

This very old module has been slightly renovated implying a few deprecations, a quick start has been added to the docs and foremost new constructors and generators were added to support the latest RFC 9562 V7 time and random based UUID definitions; thanks to xen-api folks for getting the ball rolling on this. See the release notes for the details.

Docs: online or odig doc uuidm
Install: opam install uuidm (PR)

Daniel

A big thanks to my donors.

That is excellent! I’ve been looking forward to using uuid 7 :grin:

I’d be interested in how you end up using them. By reading the spec my impression was that you want quite a bit of control (which the library provides) on how to generate them for a given application.

As such I refrained from “designing in the void” and just added obvious generators for them (see this comment) they may not fit all purposes but we can add other ones if other good generation schemes emerge.
