[MirageOS-devel] mirageos version 3 beta - less code, less magic, more results

[Mindy <mindy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm very pleased to let you know that a minimal package universe for the 
MirageOS 3 beta is available at 
https://github.com/mirage/mirageos-3-beta .  Instructions for trying it 
out are in the README there.  A summary of the changes in MirageOS 3 is 
available at https://github.com/mirage/mirage/releases/tag/v3.0.0 , with 
more detailed writeups forthcoming (and volunteers welcome!).
Please note that if you've added the 
https://github.com/mirage/mirage-dev remote, you'll need to remove it to 
get the package versions in the beta repository, as the versions noted 
for packages in mirage-dev will always be higher than those in 
mirageos-3-beta and thus preferred by the solver if opam knows about them.
What's expected to work:
- any library that's used to fulfill a request you make to the `mirage` 
frontend tool via the `Mirage` module in your config.ml (like tls, 
fat-filesystem, or mirage-net-solo5)
What probably won't work:
- other libraries that depend on or implement the module type 
definitions in `mirage-types`, but aren't integrated into the `mirage` 
frontend tool (like irmin, shared-block-ring, or 9p-protocol).  If 
you're a maintainer of such a library, have a look at 
https://github.com/mirage/mirageos-3-beta/issues/1 for an explanation of 
how to get a prerelease into the repository. PRs there are welcome :)
You may also find the `mirage-dev` branches of the `mirage-skeleton` and 
`mirage-www` repositories to be of help in trying out MirageOS 3.  See 
https://github.com/mirage/mirage-skeleton/tree/mirage-dev and 
https://github.com/mirage/mirage-www/tree/mirage-dev , respectively.
More documentation is coming, and the remaining TODOs for general 
release are tracked at https://github.com/mirage/mirage/issues/592 .
Thanks,
Mindy
