Hello everyone,
Here is your periodic release update. After a number of false-starts, the tree is finally approaching a releasable state. Last week I cut the ghc-8.2 branch and things have been stabilizing ever since. At this point we are waiting on only a couple more fixes before the rc1 source release can be cut,
* #13474: To be addressed by Richard soon * #13410: To be addressed by Simon PJ shortly * #13333: To be addressed by Ben shortly * #13433: Simon Marow has a fix
There are also a few issues that we have deemed not to block -rc1, but which must be addressed prior to the final release,
* #13220: David will verify that * #13233: Ben will do a bit more digging, Simon PJ will think about it
With luck we will be able to finish the -rc1 blockers in the next couple of days, allowing us to cut a source release by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Cheers,
- Your friendly release manager _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
