This new version of ghc can no longer read ISO-8859 text. Text is cut off after the first non-ascii character (ie. ยข). Is this somewhere documented? What is the recommended way to handle such text? Cheers Christian Ian Lynagh wrote:
Hi all,
We are pleased to (finally!) announce the first release candidate for GHC 6.12.1:
http://darcs.haskell.org/~ghc/dist/6.12.1rc1/
As well as the source tarball: ghc-6.12.0.20091010-src.tar.bz2 there are installers for Windows (i386) and OS X (i386), and binary distributions for x86_64/Linux and i386/Linux. For the Linux binary distributions, the "linux-n" tarballs are recommended over the "linux" tarballs.
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
