CamlBZ2: OCaml bindings for libbz2Since the next building block for proper compression support in Batteries is bzip2 integration, I started from the basic ingredient: OCaml bindings for bzip2. It was not entirely missing: the old GZ project by Olivier Andrieu was in fact offering bzip2 bindings, but was doing that in tandem with gzip bindings (which already have a standard de facto implementation: Camlzip). Hence I contacted the author and together we decided to split away the two parts and releasing CamlBZ2 as a new project, devoted to bzip2 bindings alone. The old code has been ported to latest OCaml versions and a couple of bugs have been squashed in the interim. The project is now hosted on the OCaml forge, has its own homepage, and a Git repo (look ma, it looks like a serious project!). Today I've made the first alpha release:
CamlBZ2 0.5.99 is now
available. It is intended to be a test release ... so please
