Hello all, It has been another slow week here, and there wasn't a lot I touched in the tree this week. The primary highlights: * The AMP battle rages on! It turns out the addition of `join` to `Monad` has had some subtle implications for GND/Roles. See here for more: https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-May/004964.html * Simon is still reviewing the ORF work, as far as I know. Hopefully it will Land Real Soon Now. * Patches! Lots of them! I'm reviewing and merging several of them right now. In particular, all the ones slated for 7.8.3 are up for grabs[1] by me right now, but I do need to double-check some of them e.g. on Windows, to make sure nothing breaks. * Many branches have been deleted. Something like 20-30 of them, I think. Yay! Sorry for the spam to the commits list too, but it was a necessary evil. * I'm working away at some of the bugs. #7602 is building right now, with some nice improvements. That will go into the 7.8.3 branch, so OS X users will get a big performance gain, yay! * Another bug: #8736. I had a patch for this, but this one is tricky to fix because when we load object files, we don't actually know if they're static or dynamic. This is encoded in the interface file, but there are some tricky semantics about what to do in some cases of (legitimately) needing to re-read interface files that are a bit subtle. I'll be trying to revive my patch for this today. Other than that, there really hasn't been a lot to mention. Please, do get down on reviewing some bugs and helping fix them![1] I'm more than willing to help in any way I can. I'd also like some feedback: what do people think about the current list? Are there any of you readers who see one *you* think is truly critical? Maybe we can get some input to help narrow the scope if needed. Thanks!

Austin,
Could we please make sure to include this bug for 7.8.3?
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9078
The ticket already includes a patch that solves the problem for us.
As remarked by Levent, this bug will probably affect all EDSL that use Andy’s StableName-based observable sharing trick.
Cheers,
Manuel
