[Caml-list] [ANN] Release 1.0.0 - A multi-process daemon framework for OCaml

[Andre Nathan]

Hello

I'm happy to announce version 1.0.0 of the Release daemon
framework for OCaml:

Github repository: https://github.com/andrenth/release
Forge download: http://forge.ocamlcore.org/frs/?group_id=290
ODB package page: http://oasis.ocamlcore.org/dev/view/release/1.0.0

From the README:

  Release is a multi-process Lwt-enabled daemon framework for
  OCaml, providing facilities for type-safe inter-process
  communication and privilege-dropping.

  Its goal is to make it easy to write servers that are
  released from the calling terminal and to release root
  privileges when those are not necessary.

Release provides the following features:

- Easy creation of 1-to-1 master-slave or 1-to-n master-slaves
  process architectures;
- Type-safe and thread-safe interprocess communication;
- Supervisor features (the master process detects unexpected
  deaths of its slaves and restarts them);
- Integer operations on buffers with support for 16, 32, 64
  and 128 bit integers with support for little- and big-endian
  representations, plus a functorial interface allowing the
  definition of operations on other integer sizes in the
  release.bytes submodule;
- Generic configuration file parser with built-in validation
  in the release.config submodule.

Best regards,
Andre
