Dear Committee, besides long discussions understanding our relationship with the CLC, we even manged to process some proposals. So let’s see what happened since the last update (May 17): * Our intraction with the CLC is now documented at https://github.com/Ericson2314/tech-proposals/blob/ghc-base-libraries/propos... * No news from Arnaud’s quest to understand the roles of Extensions. * we were asked to review these proposals: #194: Updated partial type signatures, Shepherd: Eric (resubmission) #581: Namespaces-specified Imports, Shepherd: Moritz #586: split -Wunused-imports, Shepherd: Chris #596: sized literals in Show, Shepherd: Joachim #434: Fine-grained unused warnings, Shepherd: Chris * we have a recommendation from the shepherd about: #581: Namespaces-specified Imports, rec: accept #586: split -Wunused-imports, rec: accept #575: deprecation pragmas on instances, rec: accept #596: sized literals in Show, rec: accept * we have sent the following proposals back to revision #532: Clean up and simplify the treatment of implicit binding #493: SPECIALISE with expressions, Shepherd: Adam * we decided about the following proposals #330: Decorate exceptions with backtrace information, accepted #579: Backward compat proposal section, accepted #586: split -Wunused-imports, accepted #575: deprecation pragmas on instances, accepted So we currently have to act on the following 8 proposals, down by one from last time: ## Waiting for committee decision #512: NoFieldSelectors as datatype annotation, Shepherd: Vlad 2022-09-03: Assigned to Baldur 2022-10-02: Reassignd to Vlad 2022-11-30: Vlad recommends rejection This needs to be picked up again, it has been lingering too long! #536: Type-level literals as a sep language extension, Shepherd: Vlad 2023-02-16 Assigned to Vlad 2023-03-06 Vlad recommends acceptance Some hesitancy in the committee to introduce this extension, the ongoing policy clarification process might guide us, but maybe we can resolve this earlier? #579: sized literals in Show, Shepherd: Joachim 2023-06-29: Assigned to Joachim 2023-06-29: Joachim recommends acceptance two 👍, rather incontroversial. Will merge in a few days #581: Namespaces-specified Imports, Shepherd: Moritz 2023-06-28: Moritz suggests acceptance. Mostly positive feedback, can probably be merged in a week’s time ## Waiting for shepherd recommendation #526: Applicative Comprehensions, Shepherd: Simon M 2022-10-08: Assigned to Simon M Simon, please cast your recommendation! #585: Amend Or Patterns, Shepherd: Richard 2023-04-11: Assigned to Richard There are votes on syntax going on, ran by Sebastian Graf.
