Hi all, In light of the various issues reported in 9.8.3, I have prepared a 9.8.4 release. What is likely to be the final release pipeline can be found here [1]. However, before moving ahead with the release process, I would like to confirm that this release covers the issues raised with 9.8.3; specifically: * we ship with filepath-1.4.300.2 * we provide manpages in all binary distributions In addition, I backported two unrelated fixes (a soundness fix related to prompt# and a fix affecting -Wmissing-home-modules). Julian, perhaps you could confirm that this addresses your concerns? Cheers, - Ben

Unfortunately, my colleague Zubin points out that an unrelated issue in `os-string` [2] may have a large impact on HLS users. As there is a soon-to-be-merged fix for this issue I think we may need to scuttle the release candidate proposed in this thread, wait for an `os-string` release, and try again next week. Julian, does this sound right to you? Cheers, - Ben [1] https://github.com/haskell/os-string/issues/22

Sure
