[MirageOS-devel] [ANN] new version of Irmin (0.9.10)

[Thomas Gazagnaire <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce a new release of Irmin (0.9.10), with some API breaking
changes. It will be available in opam shortly.
The main changes are the removal of the 1st class module interface, some
"improvement" to the REST API (to expose server-side transactions), and  new 
signatures to specify immutable links between keys.

The full list of changes:

* Expose the Git compression level (#104, #298 by @samoht)
* Add an optional `config` argument to all the backend's config
  functions. This allow the backends to composed more easily. (initial
  patch by @nasrallahmounir, integration by @samoht)
* Add signatures for immutable link store, to store links between
  keys: `Irmin.LINK`  and `Irmin.LINK_MAKER`. Add `Irmin_mem.Link` and
  `Irmin_fs.Link` which implement `Irmin.LINK_MAKER` in these backends
  (initial patch by @nasrallahmounir, integration by @samoht)
* Add signatures for raw values (ie. whose values are of type
  `Cstruct.t`): `Irmin.RAW` and raw store maker: `Irmin.AO_MAKER_RAW`
  (initial patch by @nasrallahmounir, integration by @samoht)
* Expose `Irmin.Hash.digest_size` (initial patch by @nasrallahmounir,
  integration by @samoht)
* Expose `/view` to the REST API (#292, by @samoht)
* Expose `Irmin.Private.merge_node` (#292 by @samoht)
* Change the JSON stream API, which requres ezjsonm.0.4.2. (#266, #269,
  #273 by @samoht)
* Fix a race when a lot of processes are trying to add a watch at the
  same time. (#270, #271, by @samoht)
* Expose `Irmin_git.Irmin_value_store` functor. This provides the
  Irmin Contents/Node/Commit APIs on top of a Git-type store. This is
  useful for backends that want to store data using the Git object
  format, to be able to sync with Git, but without using Git's
  filesystem layout and locking. (#268 by @talex5)
* Remove the first-class module API. It's confusing to duplicate the API
  (#293, by @talex5)

Best,
Thomas
