not sure if this is noteworthy:

The following is or will hopefully make(*) it

into 8.4 as well

- (1) iserv-remote (run iserv on a remote device over the network)

- (2) arm / aarch64 linker for elf and mach-o

- (3*) `-staticlib` support for Linux and BSD derivatives (was darwin only):
- (4*) `-llvmng` new llvm bitcode code gen

- (5*) refactored llvm pipeline

This essentially is all part of making GHC natively

support cross compiling (including support for Template Haskell) to android/iOS/RaspberryPi.

I hope to give a lighting talk around those, if I get a slot.

Hello,

Trevor Elliott and I have been slowly working on implementing Simon M's "Mutable Constructor Fields" proposal [1].

The current state of the code is here:

https://github.com/yav/ghc/tree/wip/mutable-fields

I am not sure if this would be ready in time for 8.4 as I don't know what the time-line looks like, and also, the actual proposal is still in the process of being reviewed by the GHC committee.

Ben, Simon, and ghc-devs

I have to write slides for the GHC status talk in the Haskell Implementor’s meeting.

Usually we have

Current status (current release)
What’s cooking for the next release
GHC community comments

As background we have

Our Apr 17 status page
Our 8.2 release notes
Our 8.4 status page

What would you put under (1-3)? Anything you’d like to see highlighted?

Simon
