This is a third beta release of opam 2.1.0 (there was a glitch with the number).

This beta release contains quite a few improvements and fixes upon beta3.

Binaries and full archive are signed by opam dev team (fingerprint 92C5 26AE 50DF 3947 0EB2 911B ED4C F1CA 67CB AA92 ).

Overview

A more complete overview of opam 2.1.0~beta4 is on the platform blog.

CLI Versioning

--cli was added in the first beta, but is now used throughout the CLI (see #4385). When invoking opam from a script or program, we recommend using --cli=2.1. If you need to be compatible with 2.0, you can set the environment variable OPAMCLI to 2.0 (this is done automatically by opam when building packages).

As with changes in the Dune language, changes to opam's CLI are now immediate - for example, --unlock-base is now unavailable without selecting the opam 2.0 CLI (you must use --update-invariant). Like Dune, opam tries to be helpful and the errors include pointers to the new syntax.
