1.2.1~beta
Pre-release
Pre-release
This patch-version over 1.2.0 brings lots of fixes and a rewritten action and parallel processing engine. Although visible mostly in the messages displayed, this will bring a big improvement on reliability and predictability. It should also be faster.
Note that older versions disabled parallelism at init by default. If you want to benefit from it, you may want to change the jobs field in ~/.opam/config.
There is no format change in this version. However, it will mark ~/.opam/config as 1.2.1, after which OPAM 1.2.0 may complain. You can safely revert the field to 1.2.0 in that case, if you need to switch back.
