Hello all, I just wanted to follow up on this. Yesterday, Ben and I spent some time and went over the current bug list[1]. If you saw that email yesterday - please refresh that page, we've trimmed the hedges a little bit. Please note that, barring any huge bugs in 8.0.1-rc3, we really aren't intending on putting anything else into the queue. So, if you're a developer: Please take a look at the tickets! Try to fix something. If you're a user: if you want something done for 8.0.1 that isn't done already, you better make a *really* good case for it, email us ASAP, and help us fix it! Realistically, we're going to be spending most of our time on the high/highest priority bugs. The remaining 'normal' bugs would be 'nice to have', and some may even be promoted - so if you can, maybe take a look. Otherwise we're going to be working on getting the remaining critical bugs fixed and out of the way and move forward. Thanks!

Hello GHCers,

After numerous delays, I think we may finally be converging on a (hopefully final) 8.0.1 release candidate. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Richard Eisenberg, Simon PJ, and many others almost all of the release blocking tickets [1] have now been resolved. There are a few patches currently waiting for review that should hopefully be mergeable within the next few days.

After these last patches have been merged I'll proceed in cutting the source distribution for GHC 8.0.1 release candidate 3. This release candidate will be made available immediately, although, in accordance with our new release policy [2], binary distributions won't be available until seven days later.

Oops, forgot the reference here. The new release timing policy was described here,
