Greetings! A project I am working on forcibly uses 4.13.1. What is involved in adding support for newer versions? I saw that a magic number is tracked, but not sure what needs to be done beyond that!

Thanks for the time & support :) I am willing to send patches as needed

You need to implement the internal typenv library of 4.13. As ocaml's internal compiler libs API may have some breaking changes.

OCaml 4.13 and 4.14 should be supported now (on master), but there's no release with that support yet.

By the way, compiler-libs expose everything necessary nowadays, so there's no need to vendor that code from the OCaml compiler anymore.
