Current Stable Release = 8.6.2 on haskell.org
Hello devs, I assume, the version of the current release should be bumped up to 8.6.3 here [1]? [1]: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download.html -- Best wishes, Artem
Given that 8.6.3 does not work at all on Windows (seems to hang when TH is involved), we should probably not make it the current stable release. See 16071, I also just run into that and had to revert to 8.6.2. Iavor On Sun, Dec 23, 2018, 4:08 PM Ben Gamari <ben@smart-cactus.org wrote:

Yes, quite right.
I'll handle this soon.
Cheers,

For the record, the plan here is to revert the regressing patch on ghc-8.6 and cut a small 8.6.4 release. Unfortunately this will mean that profiling will be broken for this release but this is the best we can do at the moment. I've been spent a large fraction of the last several weeks improving our CI story on Windows so future releases should have significantly better coverage on this platform. Cheers, - Ben
Thank you, Ben! Your job is much appreciated! -- Artem On Mon, 24 Dec 2018, 17:27 Ben Gamari, <ben@smart-cactus.org> wrote:

Also, https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/index.html still points to 8.6.2 -- Best, Artem On Tue, 25 Dec 2018 at 02:05 Artem Pelenitsyn <haskelier.artem@gmail.com> wrote:
