Oh, right. For some time, Markus Mottl made his own releases
independently of Jane Street, but it seems that type-conv has been
"properly" swallowed by Jane Street, now.

Jane Street has a peculiar versioning scheme. IIRC, they construct the
version number from some internal repository revision so public releases
seem to skip some versions (unison also does this, by the way).
They also publish tarballs with all their projects bundled together (the
"Core suite"), so it may happen that there are no differences between
two versions of some sub-project.
