Hi all, The 7.8.2 source tarball is here. I actually have most of the binaries ready, but I forgot to send this in advance: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.2/ Please build when you get a chance. I'll probably go ahead and announce shortly to get the bugfix into peoples hands, and we can incrementally add new tarballs. Thanks! On Thu, Apr 10, 2014 at 7:53 AM, Austin Seipp wrote:

Hello all,

Misfortune has struck unfortunately - we shipped with a bit of an awful bug in 7.8.1, see #8978. The good news is Simon already has a fix! Yay!

However, I'll probably be going ahead and releasing an immediate today. For everyone, I don't think this changes much regarding my last email - just substitute '7.8.2' with '7.8.3' where you might see it.

Here's the list of 7.8.3 bugs for reference, I migrated the old 7.8.2 tickets here:

Thanks!

Hello all,

7.8.1 is out. Yay! Now, on to the next thing.

Here's the very preliminary 7.8.2 buglist:

- https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/query?group=status&milestone=7.8.2

Note that this list has effectively received zero curation so far. I plan on fixing that soon, and in the process I am probably going to touch a lot of trac tickets (so I apologize in advance for the mail spam, because y'all are probably going to get a lot of it). This will include re-prioritizing these bugs, so take things with a grain of salt right now.

Note that the bug tracker now has 7.8.1 as the default version - if you're filing bugs, please be sure to try it first of course. :) And don't forget to set the milestone to 7.8.2 if you think it qualifies for a fix. There are already a couple of things in the merge queue.

There's currently no expected date for 7.8.2. Should it arrive quickly? Or slowly? Simon, Simon and I are inclined to just let things play out for a while of course, which is the traditional way things are done. But this release window has been especially awkward, so we'll see what happens.

This of course leaves timeline questions for 7.10 open - but before we decide that, now's a time to just get some hacking done I suppose...

Helo,

The 7.8.2 source tarball is here. I actually have most of the binaries ready, but I forgot to send this in advance:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.2/

Please build when you get a chance. I'll probably go ahead and announce shortly to get the bugfix into peoples hands, and we can incrementally add new tarballs.

Now I can build yesod with GHC 7.8.2 on my Mac. Thanks. --Kazu

Hi Austin, Here is my build of 32-bit bindist and IPS package for Solaris 11.1: http://c1473.eu01.webzillafiles.com/ghc/ghc-7.8.2-i386-unknown-solaris2.tar.... http://c1473.eu01.webzillafiles.com/ghc/ghc-7.8.2.i386.p5p http://c1473.eu01.webzillafiles.com/ghc/SHA256SUMS I hope I will have a free time next week to progress to 64-bit build of GHC for Solaris 11.1.
