#15018: Bump base's version number to 4.12.0.0 in HEAD -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: libraries | Version: 8.5 (other) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently, `base` sits at version `4.11.0.0` in HEAD (which is the same version of `base` as shipped with GHC 8.4.1). This is making it difficult to adapt certain Hackage libraries to recent changes in `base`, such as moving `Data.Functor.Contravariant` into `base` (see the discussion [https://github.com/ekmett/contravariant/issues/44 here]). Before we can do this, here is a list of libraries that will need to have their upper version bounds on `base` bumped from `< 4.12` to `< 4.13`: * `array` * `deepseq` * `directory` * `filepath` * `ghc-boot-th` * `ghc-compat` * `ghci` * `haddock` * `haskeline` * `hpc` * `parallel` * `parsec` * `primitive` * `process` * `stm` * `template-haskell` * `terminfo` Some of these can be changed in-place, while others will require downstream changes. I'll update this ticket as I progress. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15018 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
