Hi Ian,
I can build this version on Mac OS X 10.5 and compile Gtk2Hs against it. All concurrency demos work and the more complicated demos work that trigger several levels of callbacks (to C and back to Haskell).
1. I could not install gtk2hs-0.11.0 under x86 Solaris.
Linking /tmp/glib-0.11.025732/glib-0.11.0/dist/setup/setup ... Configuring glib-0.11.0... Preprocessing library glib-0.11.0... gtk2hsC2hs: Errors during expansion of binding hooks:
./System/Glib/GObject.chs:107: (column 22) [ERROR]
Unknown identifier! Cannot find a definition for `g_object_get_type' in the header file.
Yup, we didn't test on Solaris. However, this is a Gtk+ version problem. The above mentioned function does not exist in Gtk+ 2.14 because it would be equivalent to G_TYPE_OBJECT. I've fixed this in the darcs repository.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
2. under a x86 Mac with a GTK-2.14 framework I got:
Linking /tmp/gtk-0.11.025922/gtk-0.11.0/dist/setup/setup ...
Configuring gtk-0.11.0...
setup: ./Graphics/UI/Gtk/General/IconTheme.chs: invalid argument
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
gtk-0.11.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
This bug occurs if you're running in anything else but UTF-8 locale. As Andy said, this is fixed in darcs.
The packages cairo-0.11.0 gio-0.11.0 glib-0.11.0 pango-0.11.0 built fine.
The GTK-2.14 framework is: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets... and originally came from http://r.research.att.com/
For the next point, it would really help us, if you could check out the darcs repo and build again. That would then also entail ironing out the problems with Gtk+ 2.14.
3. Under linux we still have a problem with the new gtk2hs-0.11.0 version. http://trac.informatik.uni-bremen.de:8080/hets/ticket/794
This would be very interesting to resolve. I assume: - you use -threaded to compile your program - you only use postGUISync and postGUIAsync from threads different to the Gtk2Hs thread Is this true? If yes, I'll give you an elaboration on how threads are supposed to work in Gtk+ (I think I finally understood this!) and what I've changed in 0.11.0. Cheers, Axel
Cheers, Axel

Hi all,
We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 6.12.3:
building and installing ghc-6.12.2.20100521, compiling and running our large hets binary (without gtk2hs) worked.
Thanks Christian
As well as the source tarball: ghc-6.12.2.20100521-src.tar.bz2 there are installers for Windows (i386) and OS X (i386), and binary distributions for x86_64/Linux and i386/Linux.
Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!
Thanks Ian, on behalf of the GHC team
