Some more info from the author on the OCaml mailing list [1]. New readers might want to check out the FAQ before diving in [2].

"Release notes for beta1: - The first-class modules chapter is incomplete, pending some portability improvements to the ocaml-plugins Core library. - The binary serialization chapter is also incomplete, but has just enough to teach you about the Async RPC library. - The installation chapter will be revised in anticipation of the OCaml 4.1 release, and is currently quite source-based. - The packaging and build systems chapter hasn't been started yet. We're still deciding whether or not to make this an online pointer rather than a print chapter, since it's likely to change quite fast. - We are preparing exercises per chapter that are not included in this particular beta release, but will be available online as soon as possible. - The code examples will all be clonable as a separate repository in beta2."
