Please pick the version you prefer for Coq 8.20 in Coq Platform 2025.01

[MSoegtropIMC]

Manual note: we are currently testing 3.13.1 because this is the latest version compatible with VST. In a private communication Andrew Appel told me that a version compatible with CompCert 3.14 will be available in time, so despite the (auto generated) text below, the plan is to use CompCert 3.14. If you plan a new release until end of January 2025 and would like this to be used in Coq Platform 2025.01, this would have the negotiated with Andrew asap. It shouldn't be a problem because afaik VST is CI tested with CompCert main, but still releases need to be done.

The Coq team released Coq 8.20.0 on September 3rd, 2024.
The corresponding Coq Platform release 2025.01 should be released before Jan 31st, 2025.
It can be delayed in case of difficulties until Feb 28th, 2025, but this should be an exception.

This issue is to inform you that the opam package we are currently testing in Coq Platform CI works fine with Coq 8.20.0.

Coq Platform CI is currently testing opam package coq-compcert.3.13.1
from official repository https://coq.inria.fr/opam/released/packages/coq-compcert/coq-compcert.3.13.1/opam.

In case this is the version you want to see in Coq Platform, there is nothing to do for you - please just close this issue.

In case you would prefer to see an updated or an older version in the upcoming Coq Platform 2025.01, please inform us as soon as possible and before Dec 31st, 2024!

The working branch of Coq Platform, can be found here main.
It contains package pick ~8.20~2025.01 which already supports Coq version 8.20.0 and contains already working (possibly patched / commit pinned) Coq Platform packages.

In case you want to select a different version, please don't close this issue, even after creating the new tag and/or opam package.
We will close the issue after updating Coq Platform.
This is a measure of 'double book keeping' in order to avoid that we ship the wrong version.

In any case, Coq Platform won't be released before this issue is closed!

Thanks!

P.S.: this issue has been created automatically based on CI status.

I am planning a release of CompCert 3.15 by the end of December. It might be too late to adapt VST, however, especially since there are some changes in CompCert's AST that impact VST. So I'm happy to go with CompCert 3.14 in the next Platform, if it's easier.

I'll keep this issue open for a bit, until it is clear which version of CompCert is best for the next Platform.

Thank you for the heads up!

I link this issue with the VST "please pick" issue.
