OCaml 5.1.0 is still a relatively experimental release compared to the OCaml
4.14 branch. Some of the highlights in OCaml 5.1.0 are:

  • Many runtime performance regression and memory-leaks fixes
    (dynlinking, weak array, weak hash sets, GC with idle domains, GC prefetching).
  • Restored support for native code generation on RISC-V and s390x architectures.
  • Restored Cygwin port.
  • Reduced installation size (50% reduction)
  • Compressed compilation artefacts (.cmi, .cmt, .cmti, .cmo, .cma files)
  • 19 error message improvements
  • 14 standard library functions made tail-recursive with Tail-Recursion-Modulo-Cons (TRMC), such as List.append and List.map.
  • 57 new standard library functions
  • More examples in the standard library documentation
  • 42 bug fixes
