Thank you Ryan! I'll be getting my ARMv7 build machine back online today, hopefully. Jens Peterson reported he had a working ARMv7 build to me today from HEAD, which is good news. On Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 10:15 AM, Ryan Newton wrote:

Thanks for the reminder. Wiki is updated; atomics branch is merged. The only further work I plan to do in the near term is add additional tests.

Friends

The 7.8 release is imminent. This email is to ask abou the status of your contributions. In each case could you update the wiki with the current state of play, and your intentions, including dates. That is, don’t put your reply in email: it on the status page below; though by all means send email too!

Summary here: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-7.8

Also : What is missing from the list that should be done?

· Patrick Palka: status of ghc –make –j?

· Nick: status of your three items?

· Pedro/Richard: is all the Typeable stuff, and gcast and friends, finished?

· Geoff: what about the new Template Haskell story?

· Iavor: when do you think you can merge?

· Austin: what about ARMv7?

· Edsko/Thomas/Luite: if you want anything for 7.8 it’ll have to be jolly soon. At the moment I don’t even know the motivation or design, let alone implementation. Could you make a wiki page explaining the proposed design? Is it really important to do this for 7.8?

· Dynamic GHCi. I have no idea who is driving this, or how important it is.

· Ryan: atomic stuff. All merged?

· AMP warnings: David Luposchainsky is driving this.

Thanks!

Yes, the parallel IO manager is new in 7.8. Thanks for reminding me of that excessive system time issue. That's been nagging me for a while. Hopefully I can find some time in the coming days to look at this again. -Andi On Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 11:42 AM, Ryan Newton wrote:

Oh, I just noticed http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.ghc.devel/2569 which answers my question (target is Nov. 25).

Hi Nicolas, I apologize if you didn't get the notice I sent last week on the update. Right now I am endlessly battling windows, and while I actually DO have a dynamic GHC working for windows with the DLL split (#5987,) it is segfaulting in the stage2 compiler when compiling the 'time' library, and I am still looking into it for the past day or so. This is really my biggest hold up in pushing some needed fixes (I'll post some details out here on the list soon, so others can help.) I'm working this weekend to try and get a lot of it sorted out and post an update, but I will unfortunately be gone part of Saturday. On Thu, Nov 14, 2013 at 11:45 PM, Nicolas Frisby wrote:

Unless I missed an RC announcement, I'm pretty sure we're running a little behind the schedule from that email.

Deciders, has the Nov 25 target slid back? Any new estimates, if so?

Thanks much.

I did get it. And I certainly appreciate that there's a lot of work happening. I just didn't see any answers to my date-related questions in it. Thanks. On Fri, Nov 15, 2013 at 6:24 PM, Austin Seipp wrote:
