> The second and final public beta of Real World OCaml is now available:
>  <https://realworldocaml.org>
> 
> Release notes:
> 
> * Over 2,000 comments from proofreaders have been resolved.  We realize that
>  reading early content is hard work, and hugely appreciate the spirited
>  feedback!  The book is now a week away from being handed over to the
>  O'Reilly production team for copyediting, so the window for changes are
>  limited after that.  Comments reset between milestones and so beta2 is a
>  clean slate; we're still working through some remaining older issues.
> 
> * The chapters on first-class modules, parsing with Menhir, and objects
>  and classes have been significantly revised from beta1. Our thanks to
>  Leo White for contributing significantly to the latter two chapters.
> 
> * All the code snippets and terminal outputs are now mechanically generated.
>  The source code is as close to public domain as practical, at:
>      <https://github.com/realworldocaml/examples>
> 
> * The final version will have the installation chapter moved to be online
>  only, and we intend to publish updates there to elaborate on installation
>  and packaging mechanisms.
> 
> * Exercises will be available after we go into production, and also only be
>  available online. We really like the collaborative spirit of the commenting
>  system, and will likely extend this to collecting exercises from our readers
>  on an ongoing basis.
