- (OCaml 2.99/OLabl users only) Label syntax changed to preserve
  backward compatibility with 2.0x (labeled function application
  is f ~lbl:arg instead of f lbl:arg).  A tool is provided to help
  convert labelized programs to OCaml 3.00.

Interesting.

- Libraries (.cma and .cmxa files) now "remember" C libraries given
  at library construction time, and add them back at link time.
  Allows linking with e.g. just unix.cma instead of
  unix.cma -custom -cclib -lunix

Awesome!

- New modules Int32, Int64, Nativeint for 32-bit, 64-bit and
  platform-native integers

Sugoi!

I look forward to working with the new system!

John.
