A single setup-*.exe executable is now all that is necessary to install the Diskuv OCaml distribution on 64-bit Windows!
Today you can use a prerelease of v0.4.0 which is available at https://github.com/diskuv/dkml-installer-ocaml/releases/download/v0.4.0-prerel11/setup-diskuv-ocaml-windows_x86_64-0.4.0.exe
The prerelease:
- is for experienced Windows users only because the prerelease is not signed! You will have to fight with your browser, operating system and anti-virus software to run the setup executable
- is not reproducible. Because many Diskuv packages have not yet made it into Opam, the builds need several
opam pins of unstable branches. - has not been incorporated into the https://diskuv.gitlab.io/diskuv-ocaml documentation site. But the Beyond Basics documentation should still be accurate.
Once those items above are addressed, a real (non-prerelease) 0.4.0 will be announced.
Existing Diskuv OCaml users: Your existing Opam switches should be unaffected by the upgrade. But please make sure you can recreate your Opam switches (ie. use a
.opamfile) if something goes wrong.
Release notes, including details of the migration to the Apache 2.0 license, are at available at https://github.com/diskuv/dkml-installer-ocaml/releases/tag/v0.4.0-prerel11
