This month’s meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, 2024-08-20T16:00:00Z!

The meeting agenda thus far is to discuss the following:

- **5.2 Bump Progess**
  - Auto-generate AST pattern code and labelled arguments (e.g. `value_binding ~constraint_:none` but no positional argument?)
  - `Ast_helper.Exp.function_` deprecation
  - [opam-repository overlay for 5.2 AST bump](https://github.com/patricoferris/opam-ppxlib-repository)

- **Issues in migrations**
  - Bumping the AST has uncovered issues in migrating code up and down the internal ppxlib ASTs – would be good to discuss this and also how to mitigate this going forward.

- **Documentation**
  - Great user feedback from [Ppxlib: Getting the original definition of `typ_constr` like `type_declaration` from `core_type` of `ptyp_constr`](https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/ppxlib-getting-the-original-definition-of-typ-constr-like-type-declaration-from-core-type-of-ptyp-constr/15110) which we should take onboard and work into [Improve documentation · Issue #324 · ocaml-ppx/ppxlib · GitHub](https://github.com/ocaml-ppx/ppxlib/issues/324)

- **Some carry over items from last month**
  - In general what is the medium term goals for ppxlib? Mostly maintenance and bumping the AST/keeping up with compiler releases?

The meeting will be hosted on google meet here: [https://meet.google.com/yxw-ejnu-cju](https://meet.google.com/yxw-ejnu-cju)

Everyone is very welcome to join! 🐪
