Bug description

I was looking for the latest released version of the compiler/language and found out that:

  • ocaml.org references a really old 4.01 release
  • caml.inria.fr stops at 4.03

The only way to find a clear information was through the github release page, which listed, I believe, 4.04.1 as the latest stable release, a month and a half ago.

Perhaps it's time to clean all of this and have a single, canonical entry point to list OCaml releases?

Can you explain the navigation path you went through ocaml.org to find a 4.01 version? Because from the frontpage

http://ocaml.org/

I click "install" and I get to

http://ocaml.org/docs/install.html

whose first sentence is

The latest version of OCaml is 4.04.1.

That's right, I misread it.

igo_weiqi_baduk: good catch! I did not check because the change to announce 4.04.1 was made upstream two weeks ago (so the ocaml.org github repo has the necessary changes), but it seems there was a build/pipeline issue and the online version has not been updated. Thanks, I reported upstream at
