On behalf of the dune team, I’m pleased to announce release 1.8. The highlight of this release is a standalone preprocessor that allows OCaml programs to use the new let bindings introduced in 1.8 and still be compatible with OCaml versions all the way back to 4.02.

This release includes some important contributions from a new contributor: @aalekseyev. So I would like to use this opportunity to welcome him to the team. Thanks Arseniy!

The change log is replicated here for your convenience:

1.8.0 (07/03/2019)
