[Caml-list] [ANN] ocaml-imap.1.0

[Nicolas Ojeda Bar <no263@dpmms.cam.ac.uk>]

Dear OCaml users,

I am pleased to announce the first formal release of ocaml-imap (opam
package: imap), a library to encode and decode the full (client-side)
IMAP4rev1 protocol.  It is fairly low-level in the sense that it does
not keep track of all the state that is needed to make a useful IMAP
client.  Instead it is meant to serve as an intermediate layer on top
of which higher level abstractions can be built.

It is completely independent of any particular buffering and/or IO
mechanism, and its design draws heavily on D. Buenzli's libraries such
as `xmlm`, `jsonm`, `uutf`, etc.

The library consists of a single module and is thoroughly documented
(docs are online at https://nojb.github.io/ocaml-imap).  I encourage
anyone interested to look at the documentation, especially at the
example code to get a feel for the library.

I have been hacking away at this library on and off for the last 6
months, but was not happy with the end result so far.  But recently I
carefully studied the above mentioned libraries, and inspired by them
I decided to rewrite it once again.  I am now happy with the overall
design, but some bugs may be lurking due to the freshness of the code.
If you do come across any bugs please report them and they will be
promptly looked at.

Best wishes,
Nicolas
