I'm happy to announce a new release of ctypes, 0.12.0, available for
installation via OPAM.
Ctypes 0.12.0 contains a number of changes, some of which introduce
small incompatibilities with previous releases:
* Support for Fortran-layout bigarrays
Recently discussed here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ocaml/comments/6azyv3/interfacing_fortran_with_ocaml/
https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml-ctypes/issues/509
The design is described here:
https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml-ctypes/pull/523
* Use the 'integers' package to provide signed and unsigned types
https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml-ctypes/issues/446
https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml-ctypes/pull/515
In both cases the types have changed slightly, but the behaviour is
unchanged, so code that continues to build with the new release should
be unaffected.
The release notes have further details of the changes in this release
and in recent point releases:
