Feedback on this post is welcomed on Discuss!
We are pleased to announce the minor release of opam 2.0.9.
This new version contains some back-ported fixes.
New features
- Back-ported ability to load upgraded roots read-only; allows applications compiled with opam-state 2.0.9 to load a root which has been upgraded to opam 2.1 [#4636]
- macOS sandbox now supports
OPAM_USER_PATH_RO
for adding a custom read-only directory to the sandbox [#4589, #4609] OPAMROOT
andOPAMSWITCH

Bug fixes
- Linux sandbox now mounts host
$TMPDIR
read-only, then sets the sandbox$TMPDIR

access no longer works ifTMPDIR
points to another directory [#4589] - Stop clobbering
DUNE_CACHE
in the sandbox script [#4535, fixing ocaml/dune#4166] - Ctrl-C now correctly terminates builds with bubblewrap; sandbox now requires bubblewrap 0.1.8 or later [#4400]
- Linux sandbox script no longer makes
PWD
read-write on remove actions [#4589] - Lint W59 and E60 no longer trigger for packages flagged
conf
[#4549] - Reduce the length of temporary file names for pin caching to ease pressure on Windows [#4590]
- Security: correct quoting of arguments when removing switches [#4707]
- Stop advertising the removed option
--compiler

Installation instructions (unchanged):
- From binaries: run
bash -c "sh <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ocaml/opam/master/shell/install.sh) --version 2.0.9"
or download manually from the Github "Releases" page to your PATH. In this case, don't forget to run opam init --reinit -ni
to enable sandboxing if you had version 2.0.0~rc manually installed or to update you sandbox script.
- From source, using opam:
opam update; opam install opam-devel
(then copy the opam binary to your PATH as explained, and don't forget to run opam init --reinit -ni
to enable sandboxing if you had version 2.0.0~rc manually installed or to update your sandbox script)
- From source, manually: see the instructions in the README.
We hope you enjoy this new minor version, and remain open to bug reports and suggestions.
About OCamlPro:
OCamlPro is a R&D lab founded in 2011, with the mission to help industrial users benefit from experts with a state-of-the-art knowledge of programming languages theory and practice.
- We provide audit, support, custom developer tools and training for both the most modern languages, such as Rust, Wasm and OCaml, and for legacy languages, such as COBOL or even home-made domain-specific languages;
- We design, create and implement software with great added-value for our clients. High complexity is not a problem for our PhD-level experts. For example, we helped the French Income Tax Administration re-adapt and improve their internally kept M language, we designed a DSL to model and express revenue streams in the Cinema Industry, codename Niagara, and we also developed the prototype of the Tezos proof-of-stake blockchain from 2014 to 2018.
- We have a long history of creating open-source projects, such as the Opam package manager, the LearnOCaml web platform, and contributing to other ones, such as the Flambda optimizing compiler, or the GnuCOBOL compiler.
- We are also experts of Formal Methods, developing tools such as our SMT Solver Alt-Ergo (check our Alt-Ergo Users' Club) and using them to prove safety or security properties of programs.
Please reach out, we'll be delighted to discuss your challenges: contact@ocamlpro.com or book a quick discussion.
