Is Simon's remote GHCi patch planned to go in before the fork? I'm still
working on upgrading GHCJS to work with the master branch, but I haven't
quite finished yet. This change would clearly require some restructuring of
GHCJSi and Template Haskell in GHCJS, and I'm not sure if a week is enough
to test the changes. Also the recent removal of boot file merging
reintroduces a problem with that I'm not sure can be fixed without adding a
new hook.
What's the policy on adding hooks or GHC API tweaks after the freeze?
cheers,
Luite

tl;dr: feature freeze is imminent; get any remaining patches in ASAP.
Hello all,
The GHC 8.0 release cycle is quickly approaching its conclusion. While there are a few patches still outstanding (most notably the no-kinds branch to which we owe the major version number bump), most everything else has at this point been merged.
If you are still sitting on a patch then please post it for review as soon as possible. We will enter a formal feature freeze within the next week. If things go according to plan we will have be able to fork the 8.0 branch shortly thereafter and have a release candidate within two weeks.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release!
Cheers,
- Ben _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
