But that's my vote. From my personal view, 3.07 had a number of minor, but annoying issues that are currently fixed in CVS. Also, the current CVS version seems to work fine on AMD Opterons we have, while 3.07 had some issues. Finally, a recent CVS version of OCaml works fine for our project _without any additional patches_ - this have not been the case for any released version of OCaml for a very long time! So yeah, I will also be pretty happy to see 3.08 released soon. -- Aleksey Nogin Home Page: http://nogin.org/ E-Mail: nogin@cs.caltech.edu (office), aleksey@nogin.org (personal) Office: Jorgensen 70, tel: (626) 395-2907 ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
