Hello everyone,

I just posted a pair of posts on the GHC blog [1,2] laying out some
thoughts on the GHC release cycle timing [1] and how this relates to the
in-progress Jenkins build infrastructure [2]. When you have a some time
feel free to give them a read and comment (either here or on the Reddit
thread [3]).

Cheers,

- Ben

Hi Ben,

This sounds really cool! I'm pretty excited about more automation and

GHC releases more than once a year (maybe every 6 months?).

In my experience both automation and regular releases are a

significant win. They often result in more and quicker feedback, are

more motivating and make it easier to iterate/improve the project and

keep it in "releasable" state.

So thanks a lot for working on this! :)

Cheers,

Michal
