• Project page: https://github.com/ocaml/dune
• Documentation: https://dune.readthedocs.io/

CHANGES:

Added

• Add link flags to to ocamlmklib for ctypes stubs (Add link flags ocamlmklib when using ctypes stubs. dune#8784, @frejsoya)

• Remove some unnecessary limitations in the expansions of percent forms in
  install stanza. For example, the %{env:..} form can be used to select files
  to be installed. (fix: remove expansion limitation dune#10160, @rgrinberg)

• Allow artifact expansion percent forms (%{cma:..}, %{cmo:..}, etc.) in
  more contexts. Previously, they would be randomly forbidden in some fields.
  (fix: allow looking up artifacts everywhere dune#10169, @rgrinberg)

• Allow %{inline_tests} in more contexts (fix: allow inline test expansion everywhere dune#10191, @rgrinberg)

• Remove limitations on percent forms in the (enabled_if ..) field of
  libraries (feature: remove limitations on [enabled_if] on libraries dune#10250, @rgrinberg)

• Support dialects in dune describe pp (feat(describe): support dialects in describe pp dune#10283, @emillon)

• Allow defining executables or melange emit stanzas with the same name in the
  same folder under different contexts. (eif: fix name collision in same folder for exes and melange emits dune#10220, @rgrinberg, @jchavarri)

Fixed

• coq: Delay Coq rule setup checks so OCaml-only packages can build in hybrid
  Coq/OCaml projects when coqc is not present. Thanks to @vzaliva for the
  test case and report (fix(coq): delay boot type detection dune#9845, fixes regression on missing Coq dune#9818, @rgrinberg, @ejgallego)

• Fix conditional source selection with select on bigarray in OCaml 5
  (fix: select with bigarray in OCaml 5 dune#10011, @moyodiallo)

• melange: fix inconsistency in virtual library implementation. Concrete
  modules within a virtual library can now refer to its virtual modules too
  (fix(melange): depend on selected impl when setting up JS rules for virtual lib dune#10051, fixes Inconsistent behaviour for virtual libraries using melange mode dune#7104, @anmonteiro)

• melange: fix a bug that would cause stale import paths to be emitted when
  moving source files within (include_subdirs ..) (fix(melange): track immediate .cmj deps as dependencies of JS rules dune#10286, fixes Melange: moving modules inside a library with include_subdirs leads to broken paths dune#9190,
  @anmonteiro)

• Dune file formatting: output utf8 if input is correctly encoded (fix: handle utf8 characters in the dune files(#9728) dune#10113,
  fixes Synopsis & description characters are escaped dune#9728, @moyodiallo)

• Fix expanding dependencies and locks specified in the cram stanza.
  Previously, they would be installed in the context of the cram test, rather
  than the cram stanza itself (fix: use the correct expander for cram stanzas dune#10165, @rgrinberg)

• Fix bug with dune exec --watch where the working directory would always be
  set to the project root rather than the directory where the command was run
  (Exec watch mode spawns processes with initial cwd dune#10262, @gridbugs)

• Regression fix: sign executables that are promoted into the source tree
  (fix(codesign): run hook for promoted executables dune#10263, fixes Dune 3.11 introduces regression on macOS with regarding to executable promotion dune#9272, @emillon)

• Fix crash when decoding dune-package for libraries with (include_subdirs qualified) (fix: decoding dune-package crashes with (include_subdirs qualified) dune#10269, fixes Error in generated dune-package file dune#10264, @emillon)

Changed

• Remove the --react-to-insignificant-changes option. (fix: remove the --react-to-insignificant-changes option dune#10083, @rgrinberg)

Can we close this since there is a new alpha2?

[Leonidas-from-XIV]

Yes, that makes sense.
