Hi *, Just a short update on the status of the 1.24 release. Since the GHC 8 release has been delayed somewhat, I've postponed creating the 1.24 branch. Will do that either before GHC 8 RC3 release or GHC 8 final (if there won't be a GHC 8 RC3). Here's the list of remaining unmerged PRs that I plan to merge before creating the branch: Cabal: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2540 - Add support for platform libraries (needs rebasing) https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2522 - Implement bash (with globstar) style globbing (requires some work on my part) cabal-install: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2916 - Fix space leak in solver backjumping https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2914 - Fix space leaks in dependency solver logging. https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2774 - Add the gen-bounds command https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2640 - init-config https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2882 - status command Also, https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3003 must be resolved before the release.
