- Add
Dockerfile_distro.bubblewrap_version to return the version of bubblewrap package in a given release (@dra27 #85) - Change types for aliasing of distributions. The return type of

v7.0.0 2020-08-14 Cambridge
- Do not install
opam-installer in images any more. This turns out to be a largely optional component as the opam binary installer doesn't include it either. It will be made optional in the final opam 2.1 release. (@avsm) - Build multiple versions of opam in the base images. This results in an
opam-2.0 and opam-2.1 binary being installed, with a hardlink to opam <- opam.2.0 so the defaults are unchanged. This allows upstream CI images to switch the hardlink to make it easier to test newer releases of opam, and also upgrades.
v6.6.1 2020-07-25 Cambridge
- Ensure debconf remains non-interactive (@avsm)

v6.3.0 2019-08-11 Cambridge
- Add
?chown option for copy and add Dockerfile functions (#12 @talex5) - add beta repository for switches if there is a dev release in any of the compilers for that switch (@avsm).

v6.0.0 2018-11-15 Cambridge
This release focuses on the opam 2.0 release and the resulting containers built on ocaml/opam2 on the Docker Hub.
- set the
OPAMYES variable to true by default in ocaml containers so they remain non-interactive. - install rsync in RPM distros
- Install opam-depext in the containers by default
- fix opam2 alpine and centos installation by installing openssl
- add a dependency on
ppx_sexp_conv for dockerfile-cmd - add support for Aarch32 in distros
- install coreutils in Alpine since OCaml 4.08 needs GNU stat to compile
- add support for Ubuntu 18.10 and Alpine 3.8 releases.
- add xz to Alpine and Zypper distributions.
install_opam_from_source requires an explicit branch rather than defaulting to master.- update version of Bubblewrap in containers to 0.3.1.
- port build system from Jbuilder to Dune.
v5.1.0 2018-06-15 Cambridge
- Remove unnecessary cmdliner dep in dockerfile-opam
- Support Tier2 distros in bulk builds
v5.0.0 2018-06-07 Cambridge
- Install the Bubblewrap sandboxing tool in all distributions and remove the older wrappers for opam2 namespace usage.
- Ensure that X11 is available in the containers so that the OCaml Graphics module is available (#8 via @kit-ty-kate)
- Add concept of a "Tier 1" and "Tier 2" distro so that we can categorise them more easily for container generation.

- Update Ubuntu LTS to 18.04.
- Deprecate Ubuntu 17.10 and 12.04 (now end-of-life).
- Alter the individual compiler containers to omit the patch version from the name. They will always have the latest patch version for CI.
- Allow distro selection to be filtered by OCaml version and architecture. This allows combinations like Ubuntu 18.04 (which breaks on earlier versions of OCaml due to the shift to PIE) to be expressed.
- Add missing OpenSUSE to the latest distros list.
- Add Ppc64le architecture.
v4.0.0 2017-12-25 Cambridge
Major API iteration to:
- switch to multistage container builds for smaller containers
- instead of separate
ocaml and opam containers, just generate a single opam one which can optionally have the system compiler or a locally compiled one. - explicitly support aliases for distributions, and allow older distributions to be marked as deprecated.
Other changes:
- Update OPAM 2 build mechanism to use
make cold. - Drop support for opam1 containers; use an older library version for those.
- Also mark OCaml 4.05.0 and 4.06.0 as a mainline release for opam2 as well.
v3.1.0 2017-07-14 Cambridge
- Mark OCaml 4.05.0 as a released stable version.

- Bump the most recent Debian Stable to Debian 9.
- Bump the most recent Alpine to Alpine 3.6.
- Add OCaml 4.04.2 as the most recent compiler
v3.0.0 2017-06-14 Cambridge
There are also backwards incompatible changes to the package layout:
- Split up OPAM packages into
dockerfile and dockerfile-opam. The latter contains the OPAM- and Linux-specific modules, with the core DSL in dockerfile. - Port to jbuilder.
v2.2.3 2017-05-01 Cambridge
- Add OCaml 4.04.1 to the stable released set.
- Add Ubuntu 17.04 and Fedora 25 to the distribution list.
- Setup OPAM2 wrappers in containers. This will enforce Linux namespaces upon building and installing the packages, preventing them from doing network access when they shouldn't or writing files where they shouldn't (#1 from @AltGr). These are not activated by default and are present in
/etc/opamrc.userns in the relevant OPAM2 containers.
v2.2.2 2017-03-22 Cambridge
- Register 4.06.0 as a trunk compiler revision.

v2.2.0 2017-01-12 Cambridge
- Remove support for ARM variants from the default distribution list. They will come back as explicitly supported multiarch targets, instead of the current qemu builds that are mixed up with x86_64 targets.
- Always install OPAM from source on Alpine until upstreaming is complete.
- Register 4.04 as a mainline compiler as well (fixes OPAM2).
- Add support for Alpine 3.5 and OpenSUSE 42.2, and promote the Alpine:latest images to Alpine 3.5.
- Do not install camlp4 by default in distributions.
- Refresh
aspcud remote proxy with url-escaping fixes (via @OCamlPro-Henry in ocaml/opam#2809) - Add Ubuntu 16.10 to the built-distros list.
v2.1.0 2016-11-07 Cambridge
- Update for OCaml 4.04 release. Now the "latest version" of the compiler is 4.03.0 since many packages do not yet compile for 4.04.
- Do not install
camlp4 in the base OPAM switch by default, as the dependencies in upstream OPAM work well enough to pull it in on-demand.
v2.0.0 2016-11-04 Cambridge
- Move
Dockerfile.Linux to a separate Dockerfile_linux module, in preparation for Dockerfile_windows soon. - Avoid using ppx annotations for sexp in the interface files, since this breaks ocamldoc.

- Add Ubuntu 16.10 to the distro list, and remove Ubuntu 15.10 from default build list now that 16.10 LTS is available.
- Add Fedora 24 and make it the alias for Fedora stable. Also install
redhat-rpm-config which is needed for pthreads. - Add an
extra arg the Dockerfile_distro matrix targets to add more distros to the mix, such as Raspbian. - Support multiple OPAM versions in the matrix generation, to make testing OPAM master easier.
- Always do an
rpm --rebuilddb before a Yum invocation to deal with possible OverlayFS brokenness. - Support
opam_version to distro calls to build and install the latest version of OPAM2-dev. - Add
xz into Alpine containers so that untar of those works. - Expose the development versions of OCaml compilers.
v1.6.0
- Add a more modern Git in CentOS 6 to make it work with OPAM remote refs.
v1.5.0
- Add released OCaml 4.03.0 into the compiler list, and break up the exposed variables into a more manageable set of
stable_ocaml_versions and all_ocaml_versions. - Install
centos-release-xen remote into CentOS6/7 by default so that depexts for xen-devel work.
v1.4.0
Dockerfile_distro.generate_dockerfiles goes into the current directory instead with each Dockerfile suffixed with the release name. There is a new generate_dockerfiles_in_directories for the old behaviour.- Move slow ARM distribution out of the default distro list into
Dockerfile_distro.slow_distros. - Add optional
?pin argument to dockerfile_distro generation to make it easier to customise version of packages installed.

Dockerfile instead of in Dockerfile_opam (which is now purely OPAM installation). - Create a
~/.ssh folder with the right permissions in all distros. - Ensure rsync is installed in all the Debian-based containers.
- Correctly label the ARMv7 containers with the
arch=armv7 label. - Use ppx to build instead of camlp4. Now depends on OCaml 4.02+.
v1.2.1
- Remove redundant
apk update from Alpine definition. - Switch default cloud solver to one dedicated to these images so they can updated in sync (the default cloud one is getting hit by many bulk build hits in parallel and cannot cope with the load).
- Add
distro_of_tag and generate_dockerfile to Dockerfile_distro. - Add
nano to images to satisfy opam pin going interactive. - Also include
4.03.0 flambda build. - Add ARMv7hf Raspbian distro (Wheezy and Jessie).
v1.2.0
- Add
dev-repo metadata to OPAM file. - Add support for installing the cloud solver for platforms where aspcud is not available.
- Add CMD entrypoints for containers.
- Alpine: add
bash in container (requested by @justincormack) - Debian: correct non-interactive typos and add
dialog in container - Remove
onbuild triggers from OPAM containers as it inhibits caching (suggestion via @talex5) - Include specific Debian versions (v7,8,9) in addition to the stable/unstable streams.
