Thanks!

What's up with the version 117.0.0-b? Why not just use 117.0.1 or 117.1.0 instead? 🤔
Looking again at https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Manual.html#Version-ordering
I can see that it should sort after 117.0.0 (but so should the other suggestions)

Hey @jmid! This package is meant to mirror versions of https://github.com/webassembly/binaryen. This change fixes some build issues for OCaml and ended up dropping support for 4.12. It's kind of a breaking change in that sense and made doing a 117.0.1 or 117.1.0 feel wrong for both semantic versioning reasons as well as matching upstream Binaryen version reasons, so we went with this instead.

Makes sense, thanks!
Initially I was wondering whether the slightly unconventional version name could cause problems later. Looking at the above opam manual page, a dash is however included as an example, so it should be OK to do so.
