ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.8.4 Release Candidate 1

We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.8.4: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.8.4-rc1/ This includes the source tarball and bindists for 64bit Linux. Binary builds for other platforms will be available shortly. These binaries and tarballs have an accompanying SHA256SUMS file signed by my GPG key id (0x3B58D86F). We plan to make the 7.8.4 release sometime in the next few weeks. Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release! -- Regards, Austin Seipp, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/
