+1 for "a soon-ish 7.8.3 release for things which already have a working good/low-risk fix in ghc-7.8, so the next HP can go with 7.8.3 instead of using the known-to-be-suboptimal 7.8.2" Also, I don't have a reproducible case but I am getting occasional errors with 7.8.2 on Apple Mavericks that kill ghci where the error is: ld: illegal text-relocation to '_ghczmprim_GHCziTypes_ZMZN_closure' in /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.8.2/ghc-prim-0.3.1.0/libHSghc-prim-0.3.1.0-ghc7.8.2.dylib from '_cbea_info' in /Users/gcolpitts/algo1/ps3-exp.o for architecture x86_64 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status phase `Linker' failed (exitcode = 1) I'm wondering if anybody else has seen this or has any thoughts on this. It's not a show stopper for me as it is relatively rare and I just restart ghci. I'm using ghci inside emacs (Aquamacs 2.5) Thanks George On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 5:19 AM, Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvriedel@gmail.com>wrote:

The question is: when should we do the release? There are several bugs there that seem quite problematic for users - #9045, #7097, #9001, #8768 and #9078 in particular.
Personally, I'd vote for a soon-ish 7.8.3 release for things which already have a working good/low-risk fix in ghc-7.8, so the next HP can go with 7.8.3 instead of using the known-to-be-suboptimal 7.8.2
