I think I'll have to punt my changes for 8.8.1, The I/O manager is mostly working but it's taking some time to iron out the. Corner cases and ensure the behavior is not different than what people expect with mio even though the model is quite different. I have 12 failing tests but each take me a reasonable amount of time to diagnose and fix without breaking other things and I still need to optimize it all and add networking support. The linker patches require some more extensive testing so I don't want to rush those through either. At this point, both patches are huge so they would take a considerable amount of time to review anyway so they wouldn't stand much of a chance even if I put them up tomorrow.

Hi everyone,

As noted a few weeks ago, the 8.6.1 fork is quickly approaching. Currently the plan is to cut the branch on Friday, 1 May 2018.

Silly me; the above is supposed to read "Friday, 1 June 2018".

Sorry for the confusion!

Cheers,

- Ben

Also -fdefer-type-errors in ghci is broken for 8.4: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14963 I understand it's a complicated problem, but it would be sad if it were broken for all of 8.6 as well. At least how about a quick patch that emits a warning when it sees --interactive -fdefer-type-errors and says this combination is no longer supported?

I wish I can offer more than just a request, but the following bug:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15105

is rendering some oft-used packages on Macs unusable. (doctest being the prime example in my case.)

It would truly be awesome if it was fixed in the next release.
