If we want a bugfix version of Cabal in with GHC 8.0.2 this is our last chance. --- Begin forwarded message from Ben Gamari --- From: Ben Gamari To: Gabor Greif , Pali Gabor Janos , Gershom B , Jens Petersen , "\"Erik Rantapaa\"" , Erik de Casto Lopo , Randy Polen , Karel Gardas , Herbert Valerio Riedel Cc: GHC developers Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2016 10:42:51 -0400 Subject: GHC 8.0.2 status Hello GHCers, Thanks to the work of darchon the last blocker for the 8.0.2 release (#12479) has nearly been resolved. After the fix has been merged I'll be doing some further testing of the ghc-8.0 branch and cut a source tarball for 8.0.2-rc1 later this week. If you intend on offering a binary release for 8.0.2 it would be great if you could plan on testing the tarball promptly so we can cut 8.0.2 and move on to planning for 8.2.1. Thanks for your help and patience! Cheers, - Ben --- End forwarded message ---
