The design is mostly centered around polymorphism rather than functors. Such structures comprise (some modules in misc/, some other in core/):

the core library, containers, now depends on cppo and base-bytes (provided by ocamlfind).

Containers.unix

Helpers that depend on Unix, e.g. to spawn sub-processes.


CCUnix
High-level Functions on top of Unix

Containers.sexp

String

containers.string has been removed. Some of its functionality is present in CCString; some in other libraries such as Spelll.

Bigarrays

containers.bigarray has been removed. Use the Bigstring library for arrays of bytes.

Advanced

containers.advanced has been removed. Use OLinq to replace some of its functionality.

Misc

Moved to its own repository.

Lwt

Moved to its own repository
