GHC Weekly News (was: Status updates)

Hi *, Note the title change. After some discussion with Simon last week, we decided to change up the name a bit, since we want the discussion on - As Gabor mentioned on the list earlier, I accidentally broke the Windows build. I'm sorry. :( We really need to get Phab building Windows too ASAP... I'm working on a fix this morning. (There are still a lot of upstream changes waiting to go into the Phabricator code base.) - I sent out the HCAR draft this morning. Please edit it! I think we have a few weeks of lead time however, so we're not in a rush like last time. But I will remind you. :) - The server migration for ghc.haskell.org seems to have gone pretty smoothly in the past week. It's had plenty of traffic so far. The full migration is still ongoing and I want to complete it this week. - I've finished reorganizing some of the Git and Repository pages after some discussion. We now have the Repositories[1] page, linked to on the left side, which details some notes on the repositories we use, and links to other various pages. I'm thinking of replacing this side-bar "root" with a link to the main Git[2] page, perhaps. - Miscellaneous: ghc.haskell.org and phabricator.haskell.org now sets the "Strict-Transport-Security" header. This just means you always use SSL now when you visit those pages (so you can't be connection-hijacked via a 503 redirect). - I'm merging some patches at the moment, although the windows fix is currently what I'll push first: D205, D204, D203, D199, D194, D179, D174. Do let me know if there's anything you want me to look at. - GHC works on Wine apparently for all you Linux users - thanks Mikolaj![3] - Jan had some questions about infrastructure which I just followed up on this morning. In particular: does anyone feel strongly about his first question?[4] - Herbert committed the first part of the Traversable/Foldable changes, by moving the typeclasses to Prelude. This is part of an ongoing series of patches. Things like adding Bifunctor will finally come after this.[5] Also, added bonus: we'll start including some of the tickets we closed this week. Closed tickets for the past week include: #9585, #9545, #9581, #6086, #9558, and #3658. Please let me know if you have any questions.
