Comment (by ctreleaven):
The release notes say:
''As a language, OCaml 5 is fully compatible with OCaml 4 down to the
performance characteristics of your programs. In other words, any code
that works with OCaml 4 should work the same with OCaml 5.
The currently known exceptions to this rule are:
the removal of many long-deprecated functions and modules
changes to the internal runtime API
the performance of ephemerons is currently (and temporarily) strongly
degraded.
''
Have any problems been noted in the field in the last few months?
I'm not familiar with Ocaml but I'm looking at updating the geneweb port.
It would require some additional ocaml libraries be added. I could try
updating ocaml to 5.0.0 at the same time.
