[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 44371 bytes --]

Dear Ocaml users, 

We have the pleasure of announcing the release of OCaml version 5.3.0. dedicated 
to the memory of John William Mauchly and Paul Verlaine on the anniversary of 
their death, 

De la musique avant toute chose, 
Et pour cela préfère l’Impair 
(Music first and foremost of all! 
Choose your measure of odd not even) 

Some of the highlights in OCaml 5.3.0 are: 

- Syntax for deep effect handlers 

There is now a dedicated syntax for installing deep effect handler 

match f () with 
| x -> x 
| effect Random_float, k -> Effect.Deep.continue k (Random.float 1.0) 

This new syntax adds a new `effect` keyword, which may break existing code. 
To improve backward compatibility, this new keyword can be disabled with 
the new `-keywords` flags if needed for backward compatibility. 

- Restored MSVC port 

It is now possible to use the MSVC toolchain on Windows, restoring the last 
missing port from OCaml 4 (except for the native compiler support for 32-bit 
architectures which is not planned) 

- Re-introduced statistical memory profiling (statmemprof) 

The submodule `Gc.memprof` is restored with a slightly different API. This 
submodule can be used to monitor memory allocation statistics inside a 
program. In OCaml 5, each domain can be monitored independently while child 
domains inherit the parent domain profiling profile (if there is one active). 

- utf-8 encoded Unicode source files and modest support of Unicode identifiers 

type saison = Hiver | Été | Printemps | Automne 

The OCaml lexer has been extended to support a modest subset of Unicode 
characters in identifiers. This is mostly intended for pedagogical use. This 
extended support requires source files to be utf-8 encoded Unicode text. 

- More space-efficient implementation of Dynarray 

The internal implementation of `Dynarray` now uses an unboxed representation 
which avoids the need of storing items wrapped in a `Some x` block and thus 
saves some space and indirections. 

- Improved metadata on the pairs of declarations and definitions for merlin. 

The metadata stored inside cmt files has been improved to better distinguish 
the provenance of identifiers (previous versions could confuse an interface and 
implementation identifier). Similarly, the metadata now tracks more precisely 
the association between declarations and definitions. For instance, in 

module X = struct let x = 0 end 
module M: sig 
val x: int 
end = struct 
let x = 1 
include X 
end 

Merlin can now determine that the definition of the `M.x` value lies inside the module `X`. 

And a lot of incremental changes: 

- Around 20 new functions in the standard library (in the `Domain`, `Dynarray` 
`Format`, `List`, `Queue`, `Sys`, and `Uchar` modules). 
- Many fixes and improvements in the runtime 
- Improved error messages for first-class modules, functors, labelled arguments, 
and type clashes. 
- Numerous bug fixes 

Please report any unexpected behaviours on the OCaml issue tracker(https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues) 
and post any questions or comments you might have on our discussion forums(https://discuss.ocaml.org). 


The full list of changes can be found in the changelog below. 

Happy hacking, 
Florian Angeletti for the OCaml team. 


Installation Instructions 
------------------------- 

The base compiler can be installed as an opam switch with the following commands: 

opam update 
opam switch create 5.3.0 

The source code for the release is also directly available on: 

* GitHub: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/releases/download/5.3.0/ocaml-5.3.0.tar.gz 
* OCaml archives at Inria: https://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-5.3/ocaml-5.3.0.tar.gz 

Fine-Tuned Compiler Configuration 
--------------------------------- 

If you want to tweak the configuration of the compiler, you can switch to the option variant with: 

opam update 
opam switch create <switch_name> ocaml-variants.5.3.0+options <option_list> 

where `<option_list>` is a space separated list of `ocaml-option-*` packages. For instance, for a `flambda` and `no-flat-float-array` switch: 

opam switch create 5.3.0+flambda+nffa ocaml-variants.5.3.0+options ocaml-option-flambda ocaml-option-no-flat-float-array

- #13168(https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues/13168): In Array.shuffle, clarify the code that validates the 
result of the user-supplied function `rand`, and improve the 
error message that is produced when this result is invalid.

request by Olivier Nicole) 

- #13171(https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues/13171): expose `Domain.self_index : unit -> int` (a somewhat-dense

report by Vesa Karvonen)

review by Olivier Nicole, Hazem Elmasry and Nicolás Ojeda Bär) 

* (*breaking change*) #13240(https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues/13240): Add Uchar.seeded_hash, Change Uchar.hash implementation. 
Previously, Uchar.hash was aliased to Uchar.to_int. If you need that behavior, 
change your module instantiation from eg `module HT = Hashtbl.Make(Uchar)` to 
``` 
module HT = Hashtbl.Make(struct 
... 
let hash = Uchar.to_int 
end) 
``` 
If the current implementation is desired, and you have a hashtable module `HT`

ensure it doesn't break when reading from or writing to buckets.

		       March 15, 2024, Berlin
		       https://bobkonf.de/2024/

	    Program: https://bobkonf.de/2024/program.html
	  Registration: https://bobkonf.de/2024/registration.html
=========================================================================
				   
BOB conference is a place for developers, architects, and decision-makers
to explore technologies beyond the mainstream in software development
and to find the best tools available to software developers today. Our
goal is for all participants of BOB to return home with new insights
that enable them to improve their own software development
experience.

The program features 14 talks and 8 tutorials on current topics:

https://bobkonf.de/2024/program.html

Talk subjects includes functional programming, property-based testing,
service API design, programming for spacecraft, accessibility,
hypermedia, business processes, software analytics, event-based
communication and zero-knowledge proofs.

BOB will feature tutorials on F#, Haskell, Lean, SwiftUI, Copilot, the
K Framework, functional domain modelling, and Liberating Structures.

Andreas Rossberg will give the keynote talk.

Registration is open - online tickets are all under 200€, and many
discount options are available, as are grants for members of groups
underrepresented in tech:

Actually the similar problem of accurately conveying floats also
occurs in MetaOCaml/Code generation. After all, what you are doing is
a sort of reflection.

First of all, accurate (lossless) printing of floats is a research
area in itself. The latest result is

  http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/florian-loitsch/printf.pdf
  https://github.com/google/double-conversion

Perhaps some day it can be incorporated in OCaml, so that
string_of_float truly returns *the* printable representation of a float.

Hexademical printout (which is also supported in C) 
mentioned by Daniel Buenzli is another way -- provided we don't
actually have to look at the printed value, because we probably won't
understand it anyway.

In practice in our recent project, we settled on

let float : float -> float cde = fun x ->
  let str = if Float.is_integer x then string_of_float x else
            Printf.sprintf "%.17g" x

which seems to work well. At least, it solved the problems when the
results of our generated signal processing code differed slightly from
the results of the hand-written reference C code, due to slightly
different printed FP values in FP array initializers (filter
coefficients). We used to use string_of_float back then. With the
above float, the problem is solved.

I have to add that float above does not account for NaN, plus/minus
infinity and -0. So, the fully production code also has to add these
cases.
