OCaml Batteries Included

This is the first Beta release of OCaml Batteries Included. Barring any bugs, it should mark an API and syntax freeze. This release introduces new command-line tools, a new extensible printf replacement, many improvements, and many bugfixes.

New language extensions (list comprehension,
syntax for ropes and pattern-matching on ropes),
new libraries (network streams, dates, text
encodings, etc.), a new module hierarchy, a new
help system, etc.

This is the official release of Alpha 3. With
respect to the preview
release of Alpha 3, it fixes a number of bugs
(particularly related to
Enum) and improves documentation.

Plenty of additional functions and bugfixes were
added, in addition to several syntax extensions
for auto-opening Batteries, making code clearer.
Serialization and deserialization can be done to
human-readable formats. Unicode strings and ropes,
new examples, new test-cases, and lots of
documentation were added.
