This release contains a handful of new functions and bugfixes -- see the detailed changelog below. Two highlights are the pop_{min,max} in BatSet and pop_{min,max}_bindings in BatMap contributed by François Berenger, and a nasty bug when hashing values close to min_int spotted by Martin Neuhäußer -- this long-hidden bug was due to a mistake in the backward-compatibility code for the hashing function transition between OCaml 3.12 and OCaml 4.00.

With many thanks to the contributors to this new release, including Guillaume Allais, Aleksey Z. Arens, Nils Becker, François Berenger, Sang Kil Cha, Simon Cruanes, Bob Fang, Anders Fugmann, Rudi Grinberg, Herry, Christoph Höger, Max Mouratov, Martin R. Neuhäußer, Gabriel Scherer, Quentin Stievenart, Kevin Brubeck Unhammer, Ralf Vogler, and Xavier Van de Woestyne.

New contributors are always welcome, you can have a look at the issue list to find something you would be interested into working on and discuss with the maintainers.

With our best regards,
The OCaml batteries-included team.
