opam 2.0.6 releaseOn , by
We are pleased to announce the minor release of opam 2.0.6.

- Shell:
- Sandbox:
- opam-devel file: avoid copying extraneous files in opam-devel example [#3999 @maroneze]
As sandbox scripts have been updated, don't forget to run opam init --reinit -ni
to update yours.
Note: To homogenise macOS name on system detection, we decided to keep
macos
, and convertdarwin
tomacos
in opam. For the moment, to not break jobs & CIs, we keep uploadingdarwin
&macos
binaries, but from the 2.1.0 release, onlymacos
ones will be kept.
Installation instructions (unchanged):
From binaries: run
bash -c "sh <(curl -fsSL https://opam.ocaml.org/install.sh) --version 2.0.6"
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 you 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.
