OCaml version 4.08.0 was released on 2019-06-14 It is an immense release with many usage improvements and new features. Some of the highlights in release 4.08 are: Binding operators (let*, let+, and*, etc). They can be used to streamline monadic code. open now applies to arbitrary module expression in structures and to applicative paths in signatures. A new notion of (user-defined) "alerts" generalizes the deprecated warning. New modules in the standard library: Fun, Bool, Int, Option, Result. A significant number of new functions in Float, including FMA support, and a new Float.Array submodule. Source highlighting for errors and warnings in batch mode. Many error messages were improved. Improved AFL instrumentation for objects and lazy values. http://ocaml.org/releases/4.08.0.html https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/releases/tag/4.08.0

OCaml version 4.09.0 was released on 2019-09-18 This release focused mostly on the bugfixes, removing deprecated features, and some standard library reorganization - New optimisations, in particular for affine functions in matches, for instance type t = A | B | C let affine = function | A -> 4 | B -> 3 | C -> 2 - The graphics library was moved out of the compiler distribution. - The vmthread library was removed. - Support for compiler plugins was removed. - Many bug fixes. https://ocaml.org/releases/4.09.0.html https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/releases/tag/4.09.0
I take this bug as a recruitment task.

As discussed with Zlogenem, multi- platform support has been removed and the ebuild is now keyworded for ~amd64 only. Significant time was spent figuring out why the build failed when run via ebuild, but succeeded when run manually. After I filed an upstream issue[1] and a subsequent discussion, it turned out that Gentoo's ${P} variable clashed with the OCaml build, as I had suspected. The line P ?= stdlib__ in a Makefile resulted in wrong file paths which in turn broke the OCaml documentation build. I have asked upstream if their use of the "?=" operator is deliberate; an answer is pending. The license in this build has been changed to match [2].
