# Phase 2: Template Haskell

The above story is made considerably messier by `template-haskell`. ...

One further clarification as I fear this may be unclear:

Phase 2 does *not* allow multiple versions of `template-haskell` to be used with a single GHC. That is, each GHC version will have precisely one corresponding `template-haskell` version; consequently, programs using TemplateHaskell's combinator's will still need to adapt to new `template-haskell` releases when moving to a new GHC.

Phase 3 describes how we could eliminate this need by allowing multiple `template-haskell` versions to be used with a single GHC release. _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
