The RC1 has just started, and I'd rather wait a little more till we're
closer to a final release...

PS: We'll also need a 'cabal-install' release, as the current 1.18.0.2
doesn't build with GHC 7.8RC1

I will make one as soon as the last Cabal release is out. Please let me know when you're ready for that.

PS2: would it be possible to have
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/commit/32dddcb1f0495a633ab806e0bcd43816cac67b03
picked up for 1.18 (assuming it applies cleanly)? It would make it
easier to generate documentation tarballs for uploading to Hackage
w/o needing to 'sed' away all 'file:///' prefixes.

This is already in the 1.18 branch as 1eb2181fae2b706ee8024d3f8fef104b5089b1a9. I intend to release the following in the last patch release in the 1.18 series:
