It doesn't have anything about the dynamic linking changes made for 7.8. I think it's worth mentioning the improvements we expect to get from that. The highlights of the release notes do mention it, so maybe that suffices.

In particular, I'm hoping that it is going to fix a lot of problems with using foreign libraries such as OpenGL from ghci. I could be wrong about that though.

As Austin has told us, there’s a draft of the GHC Status Report for the HCAR, here:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/May14

Have we missed out something  you have been working hard on?  Do take a moment to add a bullet in an appropriate place (it’s a wiki).  I’d like to be sure that we are giving credit to all the appropriate people, so please help us fix that too.  GHC is a team effort.

Deadline is 1 May I think.

Thanks

Simon
