We're happy to announce the second beta release of opam 2.3.0.

As this version is a beta, we invite users to test it to spot previously unnoticed bugs as we head towards the stable release.

Changes

Compared to the previous 2.3.0~beta1 release, the main change is:

  • Fix a regression in the detection of the current terminal size that leads to opam output that tries to fit itself into 80 columns regardless of the current terminal size (#6243).

  • A NetBSD/x86_64 pre-built release binary is now available

You can view the full list of changes, including API changes, in the release note.

Try it!

The upgrade instructions are unchanged:

  1. Either from binaries: run

For Unix systems

bash -c "sh <(curl -fsSL https://opam.ocaml.org/install.sh) --version 2.3.0~beta2"

or from PowerShell for Windows systems

Invoke-Expression "& { $(Invoke-RestMethod https://opam.ocaml.org/install.ps1) } -Version 2.3.0~beta2"

or download manually from the Github "Releases" page to your PATH.

  1. Or from source, manually: see the instructions in the README.

You should then run:

opam init --reinit -ni

Please report any issues to the bug-tracker.

Happy hacking!
