[MirageOS-devel] New irmin release (0.9.9)

[Thomas Gazagnaire <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

A new version of Irmin has been released (mainly a bug fix one) and will land 
soon in opam:

https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/pull/4665

This version mainly brings support for lwt 2.5.0. See the full list of changes 
below.

I've also updated the main README[1] to import some contents from the wiki, 
especially the list of use-cases and links. If you are using Irmin and/or have 
some write-up about it, please update the lists with a short description.

Best,
Thomas

== Changes

* Allow raw bodies in queries and responses for the REST API. This is
  controlled by the `Content-type` field set by the client:
  by default, we still use JSON (or use `application/json`) but using
  `application/octet-stream` will avoid having to hex-encode large
  binary blobs to make them JSON-compatible. This feature is still
  experimental (especially when using Git on the server) (#255)
* Adapt to `ocaml-git.1.7.1` (which works with `lwt.2.5.0`)
* Expose `Store.config` for all the stores (`AO`, `RW`, etc.)
* Expose `Irmin_git.Internals` to be able to get back the
  Git commit objects from an `head` value (#245, #241)
* Expose `Irmin.Private.remove_node`
* Remove the special `__root__` filename in Irmin stores and in views
  (#233)
  - This fixes `View.update_path` when the view contains a value at its
    root. Now the updated path contains a the value stored at the root
    of the view.
  - Writing a value to the root of a store is now an error
  - Reading a value at the root of a store always return `None`
* Make the HTTP backend re-raise the `Invalid_argument` and `Failure`
  exceptions that were raised by the server.
