CHANGES

Changes prefixed with "(*)" are potentially breaking to scripts or existing
repositories (changes that are automatically handled by the format upgrade tools

  presence of underlying commands (bzip2, xz, lzma, gzip) to display the error
  message in verbose mode. [#3502 @rjbou - fix #3497]
* Remove link files only if it exists. [#3519 @rjbou - fix
  ocaml/opam-depext#104]
* Remove GNUism from bootstrap-ocaml.sh [#3481 @dra27 - fix #3480]
* Avoid sed -i, a GNU sed extension, use mv instead [#3603 @hannesm]
* Add patch & bunzip2 check in configure. [#3531 @rjbou - fix #3520]
* Not having wget or curl is now only a hard-error if src_ext/archives doesn't
  contain the archives (i.e. if make -C src_ext cache-archives has not been run)
  which means that this should no longer be a requirement for building with the
  "full" tarball. [#3572 @dra27 - fix #3551]
* C++ test for MCCS is now moved to the correct place and the message as to
  whether the solver will be build should work correctly with --disable-checks.
  Note that not having a C++ compiler is not considered an error if
  --disable-checks is specified because configure is permitted to believe that
  the MCCS library exists even if it couldn't detect it. [#3572 @dra27]

  defined in `~/.opam/config`; include sample Linux wrappers to restrict process
  permissions (e.g. ensure `build:` doesn't install)

  `compiler` flag set
