I've just added versions of pa_oo and pa_polymap working with 3.10.
Sorry for the long delay...

2) Sexplib now available for OCaml 3.10

** Markus Mottl announced:

I am happy to announce that the Sexplib library has been ported to OCaml 3.10:

<http://ocaml.info/home/ocaml_sources.html#sexplib310>

It now depends on the type-conv library, which factors out common
functionality for future type conversion libraries (e.g. an upcoming
type-safe and extremely efficient binary protocol library):

<http://ocaml.info/home/ocaml_sources.html#type-conv>

Sexplib is also available through Godi, which will automatically
resolve the dependency on type-conv.

The new release also comes with several bug fixes, performance
improvements and small feature extensions.

Here is a short description of Sexplib (from the README):

This library contains functionality for parsing and pretty-printing
S-expressions. In addition to that it contains an extremely useful
preprocessing module for Camlp4, which can be used to automatically
generate code from type definitions for efficiently converting OCaml- values
to  S-expressions and vice versa. In combination with the parsing and
pretty-printing functionality this frees users from having to write their own I/O-routines for datastructures they define. Possible errors during automatic
conversions from S-expressions to OCaml-values are reported in a very
human-readable way. Another module in the library allows you to extract and
replace sub-expressions in S-expressions.

Using folding to read the cwn in vim 6+
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a quick trick to help you read this CWN if you are viewing it using
vim (version 6 or greater).

:set foldmethod=expr
:set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum)=~'^=\\{78}$'?'<1':1
zM
If you know of a better way, please let me know.

the archive (<http://alan.petitepomme.net/cwn/>) or the RSS feed of the
archives (<http://alan.petitepomme.net/cwn/cwn.rss>). If you also wish
